An intraclub the day before a practice match?

(Or just a captain's run in new gear...?)

Does this mean we will be training at Gosch's going forward?

Absolutely guessing, but could it be just a quick sneaky captain's run before the praccy match and perhaps the women's team have Casey today?

I suggest we are also looking at our centre square crew for first bounce tomorrow morning. 

hope you are correct - will be great to get a look at Jordon in the middle

Yeah that's probably the case. I was hoping to get out to a session this preseason but Casey is just too far factoring in the return trip.

Selfish.

I hope they give Sparrow, Jordon and Harmes good minutes in the midfield tomorrow. Clarry has virtually had no body contact all pre-season due to his shoulder ops, and we need him cherry ripe for round 1. It'll definitely be a second tier starting midfield with Brayshaw and Viney to miss and Oliver will be in limited game time.

That doesn't look like Petracca in the #5. He's lost a lot more weight. And what's with his legs? The results of cupping, perhaps? What's that meant to do?

Cupping is supposed to promote better blood flow and relief of muscle pain - no idea if it works 
Probably to ease pain from a corky or similar

It’s either Petracca, or Jimmy Toumpas popped in for training and donned the number 5 he made famous...

Awesome training report. i felt like i was there.

Thanks everyone.


Where's Saty when you need him? Bloody hopeless

I get it confused with spooning.

When I went to the physio for treatment he suggested I try the Thai 'massage' place a few doors down, above the pizza parlour.

I heard he followed Oscar to Carlton.

Has he seen the light?

Did you ask him to provide the dumplings and spring rolls as a bonus  while receiving these holistic ??? Treatments at the Thai emporium.

Oh and the spicy Asian sauces which ensure every Thai experience has a happy ending!!!

Did his suggestion "end well" ?

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
