Good day for training. Apart from the time of day, it would seem conditions are similar to what is forecast for Saturday, although today is a bit windier than is forecast for Saturday.

    I was there for 1 hr. 

    Very windy conditions. 

    Pruess - not convinced he will play this week, trained away from main group and left track early, taking 1 handed chest marks as to not favour his crook shoulder. 

    May, Lever, Bradkte, Maynard - trained away from main group. 

    AVB, Hannan, KK - not sighted. 

    Lewis, Lockhart, Jetta - all trained fully and are available for selection, Lewis looked good. 

    Sparrow stood out to me in match simulation, was in everything... 

    ANB was training hard also.

    I'd be very surprised to see Preuss play. 

    Let him mend/rest.

    Cheers for the updates.

    We'll need another fit tall to come in.   Keilty may get his go.    With this it also effects the smalls we choose.  Re the space we can create.

    I'd bring in the hardworking hard-running  Lockhart against the Saints...  and keep Jeffy for the Tigers ANZAC Eve clash.

    Not sure which game for Lewis.

     

    Preuss sounds like he is very bruised/strained in that AC joint.    Foolish bump from that body position...  get him right.

    Preuss only had the shoulder lightly strapped, had no difficulty or discomfort with the shoulder when I watched him

    Obviously a lot of physio and a test on Friday, as per club website

    I saw Hamnan, AVB and JKH in Edwins

    I thought Chandler shone today in the drills

    I thought the kicking  in the windy conditions was really good

    One frightening bit was Petty, they were doing a defensive spoiling drill involving a couple of bags, McCartney shouted  'crash it' as Petty approached the second bag, he did, he spoiled but then did a complete 360 in the air over the bag, which collapsed underneath him

    He landed face down but bounced straight up, I think the accompanying laughter from everyone was more nervous relief than anything

    Thanks for the report, Saty.  Any thoughts on if they were managing players for the short break, or was it all available putting in?

    Early means he only did 90mins instead of the 2 hours everyone else did, decision Friday

    Goody seemed pretty confident in his presser.  He doesn’t usually play games when talking about injuries.

    ???  maybe he was instructed to not raise his Right Arm during training ?   Until late in the week.  Time will tell.

    Goodwin has played games before although there are examples of other coaches that do it more than him ... I don't read into anything he says on the injury front. Also don't read into training reports from those with rose coloured glasses or deliberately trying to misinform.

    Doubt Preuss will play and suspect that they want to keep st.kilda guessing about our final team and whether they will need an extra tall in defence... all the smoke and mirrors is a waste of time and supporters get misinformed in the processes

    Unless its genuinely for medical reasons, to keep him going at this stage...   don't use that arm all week, until gameday...  have the injection, then use it...  ice it,  and do the same again ?

    We haven’t played games or tried to trick the opposition for aslong as I can remember

    Whilst at times you come in for criticism relating to bias, no-one in their right mind can argue with this one ☝️

     In fact we seem to do the opposite.  Wasn't the public announcement that Nev wouldn't play made well in advance of final team deadline last week?

    Are you trying to suggest that, maybe, Preussy & Saty have something in common -- they are both 'armless...??  LOL

    • 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.
