    Good observation @McQueen, Kobe looks to have built-up considerably in a short space of time.

    That's the first recent photo i've seen of him. Jeez he looks like his dad. 

    McQ, do you know if if Freo have any interest in Kobe and if not why not?

    Alos am i right to assume Kobe and his Dad still live in Perth? If so its pretty big commitment to be over in Melbourne for a whole preseason.

    Just viewed the training photos. What stood out to me was how much Trent Rivers has filled out since last year. 

    Of all our recruits selected in the past two drafts, I believe he will end up proving to be our most important selection of them all.

    brown kicked 6 in a quarter of an intra club game. Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere and it seems to have been over the weekend 

    Shows we have poor coaching and a VFL quality backline at best,  which will get toweled up by Dixon, Lynch, Hawkins etc.

    6-8 wins in 2021 is all we can hope for, with everyone below us except North and Adelaide going straight past us.

    Just thought I'd get in before the usual glass half full posters.

    Kobe is currently living with his dad in Melbourne

    Unsure on the Freo side of things.

    So no-one could be bothered driving for an hour to watch training from behind a fence and then writing a long report about it?

    This forum is hopeless!

    Definite lack of commitment!!!

    However, in everyone’s defence, I have to say that Casey is the absolute rsole of the earth!! 
    How the “ Melbourne “ football club ended up out there still astonishes me! 
    FMD !! Might as well train in

    If May, Lever and Tomlinson were all playing in defence against Brown, then I'd agree it's panic stations.

    However I'm assuming Brown was probably matched up against the "possibles side" that consisted of a Casey defender, the boot studder and some bloke they plucked off the street for training.

    A nice little video of some training on the club website.  I hope the players watch this, every time we did the flick handpass over the shoulder it was a turnover.  Can't believe the coaching staff haven't banned this handball.  It is like a 3 point shot in basketball, great when it comes off but really you are only going to hit 10-20%

    Maybe everyone who didn't go had the same excuse as you. Which is?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
