    Warning: I'm going to training today with @Bitter but optimistic. 

    I'm very fearful of what outrageous get up he'll be sporting. 

    Won't be difficult for trackwatchers to spot him. 

    More later.

    Going to be a warm and windy session, and that's just me

    On days of extreme heat and wind, don't know why you would not bring forward training to an earlier time, such as 8.00 and be finished by 10.00. 

    If I was planning to run or ride my bike this morning I would be out early.

    Oscar Baker took Max down in match sim tackle. Gave him a bit of lip too. Good on him

    Caught up with BBO. What a disgrace. Took 10 mins to get away from him...

    Tim Smith getting his lower right leg looked at. 

    Match sim quite impressive given the strong breeze. Max took a towering mark 25 out. Tmac running quite freely, no strapping on knees

    Hope these were supplied by the MFC as official AFL sanctioned gear.

    Didn't realise KK was still so hampered by his injury. Looks unlikely for round 1. Saty or Moony can you try and whisper in his ear or whatever and find out when he thinks he'll be playing.

    Thanks for the reports. Getting down to the pointy end now.

    Thanks moon.

    Who out of the following were in match sim; Viney, Oliver, Jones, Melksham, May?

    I thought it was common knowledge that KK would struggle to make Round 1. I think we might even see Lever before KK.

    All, I think. Hard to spot everyone when they have caps on and some with white vests

    All of them were that I saw. 

    KK said that he pulled up a bit tight last week. So they’ll back it off for a week or two then build him back up. Didn’t say exactly when as he probably doesn’t know himself. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how much progress he makes in the next few weeks.

    Tell you what, Kade Chandler has a beautiful left foot. He was doing a skills sess on the side with Bradke and Bedford. Nailed it every time

    Were the other rookies (James Jordon and Tom Sparrow) taking part in the match simulation?

    I think so Andy. Jordan has a very good size about him in terms of build.

    Saw Milkshake take a couple of ripping contested marks in the sim. After one of them he turned and speared a 50m pass inwards to Weid (I think). A thing of beauty

    Chandler might be small, but he can fly! Climbed over Bedford to take a terrific mark

    Got to say, nearly everything JKH had done had been very good. 

     

    I agree Moon. I reckon he’ll have a breakout year. He played some good games toward the end of last year and he was just about our best in the practice match last week. He looked the goods today.

    I really like the little I have seen and heard of Chandler.  We seem to be drafting players that have had to work bloody hard to get a chance (AVB, Frisch, Sparrow), and with pretty good results.  Chandler seems to also fit that bill.

    Keen to see him in a game situation because from what I've seen of him at training he's energetic and has clean skills. That's a nice combination.

    • 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.
