Half the team begin with goal kicking some defenders at the other end and the rest are in the rooms.

It 's a big squad on Gosh's.

 The lankier bodies are put through angle changing run through as the stocky type are using bands to restrict run.

Lever in rehab.

Neville Jetta in main squad as is Michael Hibberd.

Christian Pettraca appeared a Little proppy.

An all in drill of moving ball by hand looked great. Clean and precise ball use.

The simulations nearly full contact. With a lot of niggle from the defenders. The simulations finished with the forwards and backs (Rawlings setting up well), in the fifty and the midfield on the wings or centre, competing for ball and connecting as the coaches instruct.

The final drills were angle changing sprints, some rugby style ball movement and tackling and the one on one contested mark.

Oscar Baker had a light training session.

Simon Goodwin working with the small halfbacks, spoils, hand and body positioning.

There was also plenty of peer assistance to the younger players from Jack Viney, Jordan Lewis and Max Gawn.

Overall, a long hard training in beautiful full sun of a Melbourne winter.

    Inside info @Lord Nev?

    Unfortunately not, just usually a dead giveaway if you see them getting super excited for someone on a Thursday so was hoping Kev might have been able to word us up.

    Goody said he wasn't far away in an interview, which might explain the interest.

    Brendan McCartney says we will win the next six.

    Braydon Preuss ran out with the second group. He looked a little nervous though up. Missed a few snaps and ground ball gets.

    Thought JKH a chance and Michael Hibberd to play.

    Didn't notice anything about Dunkley

    Hey @kev martin was Macca out on the track watching/interacting with the players?

    Yes he was. There is no obvious change to the coaching to an outsider except that Rawlings is prominent as the forward coach.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
