Go Petracca you gun! Brownlow this year?

Can anyone make out what Trac is saying in the last tweet above? Sounds like softer.

Today was the first time I have seen Austin Bradtke  play in a match simulation.

I though he acquitted himself quite well, didn't look lost, in one passage he made a lead to a forward flank and spun around to deliver the ball to Bayley Fritsch at the top of the goal square and that was of course in appalling conditions.

Great report on Bradtke? Do you have reports on other newbies and Trac?

It is in response to the experts on here who still think it's ten years ago for rehab

Speaking to Misso, Crossy, Alex S and the players, I get a better understanding of the situation

My only concern at the moment is Jones

Lever would like to be a go Rd1, but don't think he will be allowed to

Saty, can you please provide an update on Melksham?

Is he any danger to miss round 1?

Last time I saw him train, he was running laps at a decent clip, he is a valuable player, so assume because he has had a couple of hamstring issues, they have done a complete check, ie back related etc, to ensure no repeat during the season

Last time I spoke to him he was confident it was just a blip,  but they always are, next week or so should be a true picture

I understand that coaches just before pre-season finishes may say that the injury is merely incidental or that player x has fully recovered. I am never surprised when the player misses 426 at sometime during or at the start of the year. Then the coach will be interviewed. That interview inevitably starts off with "You have to understand the large amount of pre-season player x was incapable of attending". So I get that you are just going on what they are saying. Im just not as trusting.

Lever said to me when he was up at sunny Maroochydore that he should be right to go hopefully by round 3-5 and is still 4 was away from joining main training group.

You guys are acting like 5 year old girls! How about just shutting up for a while and allowing the Demonlanders providing valuable information the chance to have a say.

I'm only a newcomer to this great site and I can tell you that there are definitely two halves to the communication that goes on here........the fantastic training reports and insights into who is doing what on the training track.....then there is you guys - the purile few that seem to be doing everything you can to torpedo this site with your immature and self serving barbs and retorts.

Just give it a rest!

We all love this footy club.....how about concentrating on that!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
