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

Pickett wearing 36. Has a beautiful kick.

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

Would love any reports on Bradtke. The pressure has gone up on him a bit with the arrival of Jackson

Really? A First round draft pick Vs a Cat B rookie. Wouldn't any result from Bradtke be considered a bonus.

Brown seemed to be the main target at CHF. 

Very interesting ... will this be a point of focus?

Maybe for Day 1. If I were coach I would give Brown pride of place on day 1 to make him feel appreciated. I wouldn't want him to feel like he'd been banished to the sidelines because he's a journeyman/rookie. (I appreciate others might have the alternative view that understanding he's a rookie might make him work that much harder.)

Weid Jackson Size Comparison

Weiderman look big across the Shoulders.  He gets first hands on the ball hopefully in 2020 we see him strong enough to mark the ball more

Once you are on the list it doesn’t matter how you got there. Both Jackson and Bradtke will be competing for a long term ruck/forward role. So yes, I reckon Austin’s heart sunk a bit when Luke’s name was read out.

Reporters out in force Reporting on Bennell. 

He's even made the radio news up here in Qld!!  Even rates a sound bite of him saying how determined he is to make it on to our list.  (Yeah.  I know.  Must be a slow news day!  LOL)

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 

How typical!!

That's okay!  Just as long as the WHEELS don't come off!

I'm not sure if that was a focus but I was impressed with his leading down the guts and he didn't drop many.

Weid was "playing" deeper. TMac was obviously not involved in the Match Sim.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
