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.

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.

Meanwhile at Bailey Smith’s Instagram page....

In fairness I think Smith is known for being an incredibly hard trainer 

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)


Just when I could love another Paesano any more.

Thanks I missed that.

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.

Gotta keep those Italian skin folds in check.

My word he has the professional mindset and then some. Good habits are good habits what can you say!

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.

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
