Driven blokes like T Mac and Viney have plenty of mates now. 

good to see everyone is fit and doesn’t need time off legs. 

I like the idea, maintain fitness rather than have to get it back. Train hard now and have a good break over Xmas 

im expecting a more impressive H&A season next year. With some smashings 

Happy to keep the smashings for the finals.

I thought the 2021 H&A was very impressive.

    I'm inclined to agree, Jontee (and others) but I realise I'm seeing it from the perspective of an old fart whose work life was generally one of obligation. It's entirely likely the boys are doing what youngsters, used to being very fit, would be doing anyway while 'on holiday' (at least when the tempting alternative of 'seeing the world' is off the agenda!)

    The training away from the club thing is to do with the AFLPA contracts and the stipulation that they have a mandated time away from their employer.

    So, contractually speaking, what you’re actually looking at in the video is ‘The Artist Formally Known as Petracca’.

    This was his second goal, I think?

    They both laugh and scull another beer.

    JDGBIL: My turn.

    I wonder if there's a bit of them still coming down off the whole month of Septemeber and GF.  And not going cold turkey emotionally, just a few catch ups and reminisce?

    Few options in Melb lockdown so why not meet somewhere familiar and have a few laughs.

    I don't mind the Demons players training while on holidays.

     

    They are athletes and professional AFL players that get paid alot more than the average person on the street. Plus routine is definitely important to maintain.

     

    All, I ask is that they have a bit of extra time off during the Christmas break to mentally recharge and not think about football for a while.

     

    Then come back happy and hungrier than ever to win more Premierships! It's time for a new Demons Dynasty!

    There would hardly be an Olympic gold medalist that didn't train on Xmas day.

    Aren’t we over this chit of training too hard or not? We had a dream run this season, if Selwyn and co and the players have learnt anything from Darren B then it shouldn’t be in anyone’s mind to be nervous about a few run arounds.

    Um I am not talking about stopping training....I am talking about having a holiday. Different environment, relaxed but keeping fit.

    Admittedly covid makes that hard.

    Everybody's different. Some will need a longer break than others, either to allow for physical recovery or a mental recharge. Hopefully, those that need a bit longer don't feel compelled to cut short their allowable break.

    Btw in the 10 sec snippet of Oliver, he marked freely overhead on a highball. Hopefully no shoulder surgery this off-season?

    I believe that is the case, which is great news for Clarry and the MFC.

    BTW, shouldn't your name be ademonski?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
