I drove up to Maroochydore Sports complex this afternoon to watch the boys train .Missed the start and Max, Brayshaw and others were not on the oval. 

Jacko trained with the main group trained brightly and appeared unaffected by his hamstring .He may be a chance Saturday night. Harmes and Chunk did 3/4 pace work along the boundary by themselves. 

They worked hard but wouldn't have thought that they would be part of the mix for the Giants. Sparrow and James Jordan did repeat run throughs on their own and dont look far off.

Goody, Salem and Clarry walked the boundary togteher talking in earnest, hopefully about tactics.The assistants took routine drills and all in all the team seemed more up and about then expected.

A word for Neeta .For someone who hasn't played for 2 years and may be delisted at years end he ran laps with the knee bandaged like he was preparing to  play at the Gabba on Saturday.Furthermore he looked in terrific shape.

 I had to leave near to the end as my wife accused me of using a trip to the  Sunshine  Coast as a pretext for watching the Dees train. She got that right.

You should be getting Goody & Bartlett's salary for the remainder of this year Kallang as a reward for going above and beyond.  Even beyond that of some of the players me thinks!

Half to the misses might help somewhat to compensate for her suffering and alleviate you of part of yours...at least for a day or two anyway.

No idea if the kid can play given he hasn't made it for even a proper practice game, skills haven't always looked great, but whenever I've seen him he's been an excellent trainer. And this still appears on the club website "As a show of faith, the Demons have promised to give him another chance in 2021, hoping to see the defender reach full fitness and impact at AFL level"

A training thread! How I’ve missed the banter between the track watchers who see things totally differently. 

Good to hear Jacko up and about. If he doesn’t play this weekend and GWS pull the curtains on our finals hopes then put him in cotton wool. The kids a gem and I’d hate anything to happen to him in the last round. 

@kallangurdemon did you spot Bennell? Careful with the missus!!! The Dees might keep on sending us To Hell and Back, but hell hath no fury! ?

Sorry my brain has turned to mush in the lockdown (maybe due to all the extra grog), who are we referring to here?

We advised Neeta he would be given another year so he would not rush a program no idea whether main list or rookie. We have plenty of players with exposed form  out of contract that we know are not good enough. In a highly compromised and allegedly shallow draft with limited exposure to players backing in a kid who has worked on his body and been around the club to take a final spot on the list is the right thing to do with limited risk.

    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
