I read on the official MFC web site that training was scheduled for Monday 18/12, Victoria Park 10.00am.

Did any one get along?

They usually go there for interclub practice matches, I would have thought that it was a bit early in the pre-season for that.

There's a report and photos on Demonology.

The gist of the report from MK08 was:-

* a few players on rehab and a few absent

* Clint Bizzell is flying, looks fit and a stood out as a player who wants his spot back

* Lynden Dunn moves well, has good hands and was very impressive.

* Beamer did the whole session at top pace - great news!!!

* As has been mentioned in other reports, Simon Buckley has put on lots of muscle and now has the body of an AFL footballer.

* Juice Newtown was the FF for the whole session - perhaps the next Neitz

* Godders and Miller still can't kick!

* Leading in skills are Yze and Johnstone with Davey, Green close behind.

* Doggy has the best voice out on the track and is worth his spot on the list for team morale itself.

Great to hear Beamer got through a full training session at full pace!

If he is fit for next season, we're one step closer to a flag IMO. Add him into that great midfield balance from last season, with continued development from McLean, Jones, Bate, Sylvia, Bell, Batram etc and we truly will have a formidable midfield rotation :)

10 years ago that was our idea of a formidable midfield.  How times, and our expectations, have changed.

Also - take note of the person at training who labelled Juice Newton as the next Neitz.  At least our ability to go right over the top hasn't changed in a decade. :pj:

And yes, I'm bored and went back a few years.  Sue me!

CBF going back and having a look. Who was it, or do I need not ask?

In a former guise I mean...

I still have nightmares of that Sunday 5.40 pm game where Adelaide beat us about 7 goals to 4 at the G in front of 12k. We didn't kick a goal till the third quarter and Juice kicked about 4 out on the full from twenty out directly in front. 

To me that will always be #peakjuice

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
