Ps this is a professional athlete, I keep banging on about it but NHL guys spend most off season preparing for next season (they do have shorter training camps), because they realise their skills/fitness/body are the tools they need to improve on every off season. Well done LJ.

    He looks so much stronger.   I am no expert in muscles and fitness but he looks very sexy.

    Keep at it LJ,  you can be the best player in the league if you want it.

    I’m impressed by the level of his commitment. I wonder how many other second year players have undergone a 7 week program like this.

    That’s also a very impressive mullet. A real throwback. Between LJ and BB we’ve got the rest of the league well and truly covered in terms of suave hairstyles!

    We should have sent Weid there when he arrived at the club.

    Do it now!

    I love it.  This kid could be a 'game changer', and we already have a couple of those!

    Some players 'get it' earlier than others like Oliver, Viney and apply themselves from the beginning. Not just at training and the extra sessions many do but well above that. Petracca perhaps took longer than he may have but is there now. Gawn by his own admission took longer for it to click.Its when you know you have an emerging A grader. some don't ever get it like sylvia

    Oliver actually struggled with the demands of AFL professionalism in his first 12 months. His diet and off field work was quite poor.

    That until Brendan McCartney and Billy Stretch took him aside to help him adjust.

    LJ will be a weapon in the future.  Just needs to remember two things - 

    1- get a decent haircut and 

    2- to stay at the Dees and never go back to a WA team

    1. NO, NO, NO, LJ's current hairstyle is heroically ugly - potentially cult!

    2. Yes!

    Whinging about players' hairstyles makes you sound like an old fuddy-duddy.  It couldn't be less relevant.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
