I was there for just over an hour and highlights for me were:

VDB doing fairly intense rehab work - lots of kicking and marking on the lead, followed by hard 200m running - way too fit/quick for rehab colleagues Tom Petty and Bradtke. Trac and Joel Smith did quite a few of the 200m also before heading off early. I've said it before but Joel Smith now has an upper body that will draw the girls to him and he's my tip to play on Jack Darling in Rd 1, assuming he's passed fit by then. And barring more stressies, I reckon VDB could be back with all the boys early December. These two will be our best recruits this year if we get them on the park.

T-Mac looked really good, kicked beautifully for goal and marked well and later was unstoppable in running drills passing Jayden after about 110m of 120m run throughs.

Gawny and Viney both looked in mint condition and matched up on each other in a couple of midfield duels. Bit like Schwarzenegger and De Vito in Twins. Joint captains for sure.

Lever looked good, but can someone please show him how to do leg weights.

O-Mac being O-Mac - I won't go into it but most of you get what I mean.

Dunkley had a red-hot go and don't be surprised if he's in the midfield mix for Rd 1 - he matched up with Angus most of the time and he's learning the trade well. He then led all the early 200m reps again. And there's a prize if you can guess who passed him to win the last rep ... the new Neiter. I reckon the double would have paid $150 as JJ came through for the silver.

And a razor. That thing on his upper lip is disgusting

Preuss has lost a staggering amount of size, did he transfer it to Weidmann? 

Agreed, weid building a frame like Tomahawk, took him a few years to get coming, could be a similar player?

    I didn't see what happened to Petracca but May went over and had a quick chat after he was assessed by a rather pregnant lady. 

    Sweet. We should be eligible for Petracca father-sons shortly after the bye.

    Tom Petty left this mortal coil two years ago. If he was in rehab today I would call that a modern day miracle.

    Maybe he's forced to do this? Rock stars are supposed to be rich but maybe he didn't put away enough in his super. Anyway I applaud him for retraining himself in a different profession. Who says this club can't attract stars?

    Boomer?

    I think that may be baby-boomer Josh. 

    As a Baby Boomer myself I am being constantly reminded by the 15 year old of my old fuddy duddy ways by him intoning with  "OK Boomer" - it is a thing it seems.  I wear it as a badge of honour!!

    Boomer?

    A person from the baby boomer generation or really anyone who is older than the person using the word, usually used if said person is being annoying or talking shiet about a younger generation. Sometimes used in a joking way among friends. 

    The Baby Boom generation is most often defined as those individuals born between 1946 and 1964.

    Many of the individuals on here born in that era would also identify a "Boomer" as a large male Kangaroo. A number of AFL players have answered to that nickname.


    Whenever a youngster calls me "Boomer", I just tell them to shut up or I'll increase their rent.

    Oh no, I've entered the Boomer echo chamber.

     

    On a side note, anyone know when Bennell will start with the group. Suspect he will slot into the rehab group.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
