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.

    Don't get stale, boys! And Tommy, for God's sake rest that back.

    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?

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
