TRAINING: Thursday 14th July 2022

Sorry its late Demonlanders but had a few things on so I'll get straight to the main points 

  • If Clarry plays on Sunday it will be the greatest feat since that bloke from Galilee allegedly walked on water a couple of thousand years ago. He performed a fitness test of sorts but clearly did not want to use his injured hand.
  • Harrison Petty and Bailey Laurie were NO SHOWS at training 
  • I think Daniel Turner came of second best in a match sim and took no further part in training, I say  think coz I was a bit far away. If it was him then another piece of bad luck.
  • T Mac was in rehab and did a few light drills and could return within expected time frames
  • Joel Smith Likewise was involved in some match sims and then completed run throughs. He did have a slight limp though
  • If Petty misses Tomlinson looks likely
  • Hard to get a line of who of Weeds, Mitch Brown gets the call up. I don't think Van Rooyen is in the frame. Weeds was bustled out of a few contests, but Mitch Brown kicked a couple with some clever play. I reckon Max will play quite a bit up forward
  • Dunstan WAS part of main Mids group
  • Chandler slipped a few times coughing ball up to his eternal frustration
  • Best  trainers were Jack Viney, Trac, Dogga, Langers AND Nibbler. Spirited session for the most part and selection will be interesting
  • One other thing. Reporters were teaming in the ground today but do you reckon the Fence was any chance to get in. Nar no way known!
  • GO DEES  Best to all P.F

    FMD now Petty!😱  And 🪩 again?  Can’t take a trick  

    Clearly the curse was only temporarily exorcised last September, and a full exorcism at the G is needed this September.  Nothing less will do.

    Very Surprised that Melksham and Chandler were included! Also surprised Bedford and Spargo hold their places but no, HUNT!!

    Weideman this surely would be "Last Chance Hotel" would much have prefered Mitch Brown!

    The photos of the training  show them all in heavy tops.  They will not need it Up in NT

    i thought the Weid looked trim and with a correct ball drop, though I don’t know why the other hand was up in the air. Perhaps to cheer the goal. Bring your best on Sunday please,

    Very nice work (again) PF thanks mate.

    Surely there's someone on here who has a background in forging fake press passes.  Get on it D'landers!

    Yes, but as Jeremiah the Bullfrog always said,  One is the loneliest number.

    Weather Bureau forecast for Alice Springs on Sunday is a minimum overnight of zero followed by a sunny day with a maximum of 24 degrees. Should be a stunning day.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
