What else you going to do in lockdown.  AFL players are the lucky ones to be able to still do what they love doing.  Petracca would be like a caged Lion locked up at home.

A player who has zero patience for his career.  He's success hungry now and I expect every single player to be having this same mindset. Just a champion growing in front of our eyes.

Could be a handy player once he hits his prime.

Ok so this is a segue into the burning question who is going to be our high performance manager? I want us to be the fittest and least injured team in the league.

The guy from Brisbane I assume? Selwyn??

Sept 28 - "Selwyn Griffith has been appointed the club’s new High Performance Manager – he was previously Head of Strength and Conditioning – after working closely with Burgess this past season." Griffith first joined the Demons in November, following nine years at the Brisbane Lions.

Should be a seamless transition.

My best mate plays hockey with a guy who is close friends with Tracc and he said that Tracc had gone through some major confidence issues and was suffering from anxiety. The bubble that the players were in this year helped Christian be like 'you know what (censored) it, i'm going to get through this' and he was able to focus on himself and now he's in a really good place. Now that he's in a great place, hopefully every week he can deliver us a grand final type performance 😜

Gotta strike while the irons hot. He wants to be a Hall of Famer, multiple premierships with a Norm Smith will get him legend status.

a Norm Smith!   why stop at one?

Sounds as if he has had a good apprenticeship - can one pick up enough in one year from the master?  Could he even outmaster the master? (No pressure, Selwyn)

Not related to this thread but I was struck how poor a runner Bailey Smith was after half Time.   No chasing even in the forward line. Noticed these sort of minor details after a dozen or so watches.

Langdon, named by Kane Cornes today as the league's best gut runner, seemed to be on his own all last 1/4, and deep into 3rd.

Reasonable transition period and smart management by Pert and others to identify the successor so far out. Burgess was great but he had whole -of- team buy in also, so should work out OK.

Could you love this bloke any more?

I just watched the ANZAC eve match, incredible in shocking conditions. Had 38 and a goal, yet it didn’t hold a candle to his Norm performance. 

To be already back at work shows the elite mindset. 
I can’t believe one of the very best is on my team.

And..? 

You might be all over Tik Tok and across every post here ever, but I'm sure some havent seen it.

I hadn't.

Also, THAT particular video was posted a day ago and references Norm Smith medalist, so assumed it was new.

Tracc certainly has the moves!

Hadn't seen it before. Appreciate the posting regardless of how long ago it was taken. Got any more?

Thanks JTR, I'd seen it before as well, but certainly enjoyed seeing it again.

How bloody cool would it be for Trac just to rock on down to training and join in like that!

Great to see.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
