Made him feel at home straight away. I’m sure the pic said ‘Welcome to Melbourne.’

I really liked the bit about the importance of maintaining a positive body language, demeanour when you are  totally 'stuffed'.  Don't give the opposition an inch .....

This was my favourite part too, if you do it at training you will do it in games

Initial takeaway: loved that Darren Burgess used the word WE when talking about 2019 even though he wasn't there and bears no responsibility.

I thought exactly the same thing

Don’t know why I assumed 3. 

I was sure it was only three episodes.

I was thinking they are only at week one of training - they will have to cram a lot in 1 more episode!

Loved Maxy giving a rev up before the first time trial, outstanding leadership to recognize that's the point it starts, not round 1.

And the production quality went up a notch this week too I felt. The media team have done a sensational job with this.

Really enjoyed it.

- Darren Burgess inspires such confidence in the way he speaks.  So engaging and assured.

- Good to see Matty Whelan still involved with the club.

- Harley Bennell is such a fascinating (and hopefully happy) story.  Was interesting to see that he was meeting with the club alone; no manager, etc.  Felt very raw and genuine.

Not sure what’s the point of this video , to Hell & back signifies that they have overcome adversity & achieved success?  They haven’t achieved anything more than any other afl club getting ready for a new season! Stop the fluff & win games of footy, don’t see clubs like hawks doing stuff like this , show this after you run a flag ffs!  When will this club Learn to less words & more actions!

Excited hearing Vanders say “... the sky’s the limit”... re his foot and footy.

If our stars align in 2020 and our best 22 are fit and firing we are a top team. 

Good signs, fingers crossed.

Is this our media team doing this production? I thought this was done through the AFL media department?

Same...like the body language he was talking about later in the episode, words, the spoken language around the group is really important.

Sometimes people underrate the power of words...actions will follow if said and followed through with conviction.

Reckon the "Title Wars" about this docco can be forgotten now.

Im feeling BACK already.

My Credit card is getting itchy for a membership after that.... I wont make it to round 1 unsigned if the next episode is as good as this one. I wanted the team to show something first, but have the feeling in my plums we will be better than many this year.

Burgess is a great addition to the team.  You can tell he has come from an elite sports environment that is positive in building the right culture and expectation to succeed.  You would think the boys will follow him in what he brings to him.

This is really good the for club supporters that can't get down there like some members can.  

Really enjoying it.

One of the real joys of the year will be to watch Harley make his comeback in red and blue. I don't know what happened in his past and obviously drink was one part of his downfall but I could have almost cried listening to the emotion in the room. 

Burgess and no injuries could be the making of this Club in 2020

A far more insightful and interesting episode this week than last week! They should've led with this one.

Just little things but Jason Taylor clearly values footy heads asking about if Harley watches the games.

Of course being me and Melbourne there always has to be negatives but are we really regularly training at the Shrine? Just doesn't sit entirely comfortably with me to do sprints up through a war memorial.

Also I'll once again play amateur physiotherapist and ask if Harley should learn how to sit in a chair! If he's slouching like that in meetings all day then it can't be good for him!

Is it just me or are there others who thought that Harley was not entirely convincing? Perhaps it was just his personality coming through?  Having said that, when on song, the bloke is a gun footballer. I am praying to the footy Gods that he rises to the challenge and puts past issues way behind him. Players with his skill set don't come along too often. Particularly not for free.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
