    To be fair all their social media accounts show them training the house down. 

    No wonder this club hasn't got any money. We have to rebuild this [censored]in' house, wherever it is, after every pre season.

    thanks Saty and Kev for the great reports and insight...

    when you are living the life of a retired hippie it’s hard to admit your one passion in life (apart from your wife).. is the Dees... the angst the hope the epiphanies the dread .. but we dare to dream.. Max stripped and training hard... stuff to dream on...

    Good to see that Preuss has been working hard during the off season so far. This time last year there was a lot of talk about the respective roles of he and Max under the new 666 regime but in the end, he spent a lot of time at Casey and with our KPF’s falling down, it all unravelled. Could his fitness be the key to a renewal of hope for the set up we expected to do so well for the team 12 months ago?

    Tom Sparrow was in the lead most of the time when running with a small group of four players (Toby Bedford, Oscar Baker and I think Kade Chandler or Jay Lockart).

    Hopefully he gets a good run at it.  Got some hopes for this kid.

    Couldn't get a decent pic of him, another who looks in really good nick

    The one thing I was impressed with at training was that the first 3/4 was spent with ball in hand, meaning not one young guy needed any extra conditioning to start kicking the footy

    Max, not just words. Captain unless he doesn't want it. Pruess following in the big footsteps. Spargo's body has changed as well which hopefully means we will see some other changes across the board. Will be interesting to see what shape May is on his return along with a few others.  

    I love the smile on Tommy in Saty's pic above looks like he is enjoying being on the park.

    Not a big squad a few must have finished early and some still away, I didn't see Harrison Petty.

    Legend, thanks kev! Really appreciate the effort and info.

    With Petty, he got pretty banged up as the year went on, had both concussion leg issues later in the year, so would think maybe the leg problems means he's potentially in rehab and left early or may have even been inside on a bike or something. Just a guess, but would make sense.

    The most interesting thing about training apart from who's in rehab is which groups players are training with - backs, mids, forwards.

    It will be very interesting to see which groups Jones, Petracca, Jordon, Hunt, Fritsch, Sparrow, Petty, C.Wagner, Lockhart, Smith are training with.

    Surely Petracca trains with the midfield group all preseason

    In what was has Spartacus’ body changed? Leaner, muscular, legs grown longer ??  Did he look “more athletic” or stronger?   Did you see him in the kicking drills? Longer? More penetration?

    For a little bugger he had a reasonable debut season but seemed to have the second year blues. 

    Hope he can gain some traction again.

    Will be interesting to see what effect ( hopefully improvement in competitiveness and ball contesting due to a stronger body) that Charlie brings to the table.

    One taking is sure is that if ha can get 20 possessions a game forward if Centre a bid spike in creativity and goal assists and goals will result. One thing young Charlie  has is a football brain  Di I hope he ups the ante and is able to use it much more in our hopefully dangerous forward line on 2020.

    Yep, sometimes there is mythology with the new stuff due to teams trying to get an 'edge'. 

    Bit like ice baths are now problematic...

    Said it for 20+ years.

    Training and injury management is about getting the basics right first.

     

    In the last 3 years we have been so far from basics it aint funny.  Why worry about the 1 percenters, when you are going negative 40% by putting May, Joel Smith, Viney back on the park with clear sodt tissue injury in a dead rubber or a game-over situation.

    Sorry, I'm confused. Do you think they made errors putting Smith, may and viney back on the park when injured? I wasn't sure where you stood in that.

    And am I right in saying you support the club's decision to trade Frost? I'm not sure I agree. I mean he us so fast. And we really need fast defenders.

    Can’t wait to see what Sparrow can do next year. He looks fit. 

    Jordon looks like Oliver when he arrived at the mfc. Needs another press on maybe. 

    Pruess been in the afl system for a while so hopefully he can build his endurance. 

    Go Dees. Love this time of year!!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
