I arrived at about 9.15 with things well underway.  I won't repeat what Demonland has said about rehab and missing players only to confirm that TMac was doing gentle agility runs and small kicks in re

I'll preface by saying I'm just making an assumption here but groups of 6 to 8 at a time were pulled from whatever main drill they are doing at the time to do intensive exercises described above (grap

Also doing burpees 

Is Max doing those burpees????

If so I bet that “he whose name shall never be mentioned” will be glad he has moved on.

Viney has taken the boots off and is with the rehab group. 

I hope this is just management, i think Jack is vitally important to us. Hope he has a good run at it.

3 consecutive missed kicks under no pressure from Hibberd, Gus and Nietschke.

its very uncontested match sim with 2 players going both ways in white vests. 

They are covering the ground well but butchering it

If he is doing 100 metre sprints after taking his boots off you can bank on it being management.

It is a concern that TMac and JV seem to have foot issues still. Hannan and KK I have basically written off.

It was after Xmas last year that it came apparent just how many were into long term rehab or had just started full training. It really rocked me and I thought I had seen it all.

Also not shocking to take the boots off before going on the bike.

T Mc rolled an ankle on Monday. Don’t think it’s anything more than that.

Viney’s done enough training for pre christmas. If they shut him down until January I’d be happy.

Is it just me or do we seem a lot more fragile this year compared to previous! I might need to stop reading these threads.

Can confirm. There was a lot of butchering of the ball in the match sim. 

Having said that there was some nice things too.

How do his skills compare to our other forwards?

Leads well. Marks well. Kicks well. I think we'll see him play this year.

Langdon with mids. 

Saw Oliver go off before match sim. Did not see an incident. Did not appear to be in pain or discomfort.

If you train with physicality some injuries are going to occur. Leave the fragility to the mindset of some supporters.

Hence the suggestion to myself that I should probably stop reading these threads! ?

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
