    Hey Jaded, the rumour mill is saying that we might all receive a long awaited gift 6 days later.   Not a birthday present, but reward for our  eternal patience  ? .   The post script also says that it might only be an 'interim' present, with more coming our way in the following weeks. ??

    42 empty rooms in Bali this week.

    Might be a good time to check for specials.

    Dropped by Gosches this morning, the boys were doing some light training, ball movement drills, then goal kicking practice from all angles. Max is very good from the boundary lines both sides. I didn’t see Frost kick a goal from any angle, better stay down back. 

    Counted 19 players training, no Kent, Tyson or VDB? No Hannan, no JSmith, no Viney today, he trained yesterday. 

    TMac moving well, not sure why VDB was missing. Thought a couple of fully fit next in line backup players might have been training with the 19. 

    Melbourne Victory training next door, good to see Honda cruising around the pitch, looks very good with a ball at his feet. 

    Oh and Vince was running laps even though he announced his retirement?

     Thanks Earl.

    As a guess, those missing may play for Casey. Vanders for more game fitness, Tyson because he has cohesion with them, Joel to see if he is ready. Kent, Hannan and Viney probably being managed.

    Gosch's is great when all the professional  teams are out there. Storm or the Reds as well next to the Victory. Usually the MFC only one's with spectators. Though Honda of late has had a few down there to watch him.

    I will miss this if we move our training somewhere else. Creates a good atmosphere.

    Vince will retire at the end of our season. Probably thinks he could get a game in the GF or prelim, if there are injuries or is needed. So will continue with his program

    Oops, forgot Dom broke ulna had operation, so he is being managed. VandenBerg possibly being managed as well. I remember him light duties/tested at thursday training before last game.

    I thought it odd that Viney trained on his own the day before and didn’t at least do some limited drills with the squad on Thursday just to reacquaint himself with Max and the mids and ball movement etc. makes me wonder if he will be ready for Friday Night?

    Any Demonlanders thinking of heading down? Weather seems to be ok at the moment, hopefully it will be a decent turnout.

    ....and it’s officially September. Anyone slapping themselves in the face?

    If he’s going to play on Friday night then I would suggest that Jack Viney should be at training today.

    What did they call it when it was diagnosed? Something like a minor hot spot on the toe?

    From what I heard on the radio pre gws game the wed session with Crossy was going to be super tough and push him. They would then rest him the day after, but I also would be surprised if he had scans after just to make sure everything was clear the day after.

    Thanks in advance for the intrepid landers that get on down and report back.

    Particularly keen to know how Viney goes.

    Cheers ?

    Across the river next to the gardens has decent parking, then just a short stroll over the bridge to Gosches

    Viney, Vanders and Tyson doing some runs in what looks like the rehab group at this stage. 

    Can’t spot Hannan anywhere at the moment.

    How's Tyson looking mate? i.e. what's his program looking like

    Also Hannan is playing for Casey today so that would explain his absence!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
