    Bedford

    As mentioned by Goodoil below - it could be Lockhart!

    Is it just me or does Fritsch look a bit like Brad Green from that clip? Probably plays similar to him too.

    I was amused at the little smiles when they realised the camera was there and by the various ways used to dodge 'eye contact' with it: Look away.  Head down.  Eyes straight ahead.

    Petracca, Salem,  Lever and ANB seem to have spent their time in the US visiting and training at different high performance venues across the country.  Definitely don't seem to be taking it easy.

    (also shows ridiculous money in the US 'College' system.)

     

    FYI: The college Gridiron players do not get paid but their school scholarships form part of their inducement to play to a high standard.

    As an aside the Ohio Buckeyes who I follow over here average 105,000 per game.

    KK was not there, or AVB unless early, Weid was out early for a quick sesh

    Smith and Nietschke in rehab

    Dunkley didn't do much

    Gawn, Tommy Mc there

    Preuss' body shape from last year unrecognisable, dropped a few kilos

    Oliver looking in great shape, cruised through the session

    Firsr 3/4 of session was ball movement

    New Burgess inovation, interval running, used to do this years ago in military, walk 25 , jog 25, sprint 25 around the oval, gets muscles used to doing the same , great for endurance surprisingly

    Any concerns about Tommy Mc alleviated,spent 10 minutes at end, running full pace down middle of oval from end to end

    Gawn also motored around the oval a couple of times at the end, as per the norm these days, looks in immaculate condition

    All the 'young' boys,  nobody looked underdone

    A point, Omac (for all the haters) looked really sharp for first session

    On the field?

    He was in the video the Dees released but might be doing weights in the gym.

    Yep, to clarify he just returned to the club as per the video, not sure about training on ground.

    Not just you.

    I've always thought there's a bit of Brad Green about Fritsch.

    Particularly the lead up mark inside 50, and his kicking style.

    Thanks Saty. I've lost track of time. Is Oliver still one of the young players who were all expected back today or has he turned up voluntarily?

    Olivers debut was in 2016. This means he is included in the 1st 4 year players.

    25 metres or 25 secs?

    Thanks for the report.

    This is very much what I did not want to hear. Joel Smith has by all accounts and pictures become super fit. So why is he is re-hab?

    AVB has been out for such a long time, why wouldnt he be chaffing at the bit to make a return if he was fit?

    Kade was seen entering, does this means he is not up to taking part in physical field training?

    Not particularly asking you Saty and I know it is MFCSS but this is 4 out of 4 I was most interested in. It really changes my expectations.

    The session started way before 10 so AVB KK Petty may have been out early  I got there at 10 and group was already out

    Smith and Nietschke may be ready to go, but assume they test them out

    It's possible that KK & AVB are not required to train today due to not being in the 1st to 4th years bracket and hopefully they're doing weights or some cardio in the gym.

    Joel Smith still in rehab is a big worry.

    Thanks for the report Saty, a couple of queries if you get the chance

    Who was leading the coaching when they were doing the ball movement with Goodwin and Richardson away and McCartney and Rawlings gone?

    Did you see anything that suggested who the coach looking after the forwards may be?

    What were they focusing on in the ball movement drill, defensive 50 to forward 50, delivery from forward half into the 50?

    Initially was full of praise reading Oliver showed up. 

    Then realised he's still actually in the 1st-4th year group!

    Good, lord that guy's a gun.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
