I thought Max Rooke had moved on. Am I mistaken? 

He was definitely there.

    I am a fan of Jordon. I think he improved tremendously over 2019.

    He's one I'm watching closely. He's exactly what we're screaming out for.

    Preuss stayed back to do extra goal kicking and forward craft with Max Rooke. Preussy has lost considerable weight in the upper body and looking really fit.

    Skills, drills and role play. Might have a six-shooter in the hip pocket for 2020.

    On Jordan - not to derail - but he is 2 months older than Noah Anderson and 1 month older than Tom Green (pick 2 and 3ish from this year). You have to think another year in the under 18s and he would have been taken a little higher than 33.

    As far as I'm concerned either don't advertise that there's a training on or do it at the right time. I know the club has much bigger things to worry about but it's a multi-million dollar business with a truckload of employees, one of them can update the website.

    They're too busy ringing around at the moment trying to get us all to renew our memberships.

    I’m betting that Million Dollar Jack Martin was also a no show today. 

    But we did get a million dollar report from his brother @kev martin

    I agree, may have a lot of support from Clayton Oliver, as he seems to be paired up with him a fair bit.

    Do you see him as a replacement for Hibberd when the time comes?

    Yes, though haven't seen much of him in a game. Could see Hibberd being his mentor.

    Well, someone will have to replace him in a year or so and Jordon could be the one. 

    Jordon hasn't played a lot of footy and is getting better game by game.

    I could see him as a regular in 2021, when Jetta and Hibberd may be at the end, or gone.

    If we get Murray, he is another one who would be considered for the hbf.

    The coaches see him more as a mid that can play half back

    I was trying to think of players who have bulked up from year 1 to 2 as much as Jordon.

    I think I saw a photo of Jordon and I didn't think he had built up that much.

    Are there any pictures from training so far that someone can post here?

    Saty?

    Pruess could be our secret weapon in 2020... according to Burgess he's lost 8-10 kgs. He clearly showing the team and coaches that he wants to be in the 1sts next year and not stuck down in Casey. Same goes to Omac, he's looking much stronger in the shoulders.

    I do too. He has some of the skinniest legs I’ve seen on an AFL player. 

    Cameron Bruce struggled to put on any muscle.

    Another really good session

    For his admirers Joel Smith joined in some of the ball movement drills

    Hibberd in attendance, another one with a completely different body shape, looks super fit

    Viney, Gawn, Harmes there was well

    Weid, Hannan and Baker just light work

    Nietschke doesn't look too far off, so another new player, doing laps at full pace

    Petracca and Salem there, Trac was probably the stand out during the ball movement drills, Salem was his usual immaculate foot skills

    Another one who is looking good early on is Spargo, stronger and faster, did some really good ball distribution by foot

    Any sign of Langdon?

    No, expect next week, same with Tomlinson

     

    Has someone told you that?

    Given that he played in the GF he would still have a fair bit of time off I would imagine.

    I think in his first interview he said a few more weeks and back into it

    I doubt he would want to start later at a new club, unless he 'has to take' the extra time

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
