Indeed; seems his current degree of 'fit' would be anybody's gu(inn)ess...

*Apologies to all the Irish folks on here....

Also just realised a hit of GUINNESS would fit GUS to the NINES 😉

It's an essential component of pre-season training.

I must be stronger than I think 🤔 

While it is good to see the players hard it at it already I wonder about the wisdom of it.

There was a fair bit of evidence that we kept the training up in the 2021/2022 pre-season and even Max said it was like 2021 and 2022 rolled into one long season.  This seemed to impact our ability to play out games after the mid point this season..  Acknowledging the short break after the GF contributed to this but not sure we had the balance right last year.

Hope this year we have learnt from that and re-balanced the training regimes.

Good to see Salem moving/running like that - perhaps a sign that the o.p that has plagued him for nearly two years might be fixed.

I would think it’d be in a moonboot still if it was injured again. 

It would have to be a moonboot at the slightest flurry of discomfort for him. That injury has been known to flare for considerable time, each time, a great risk would otherwise be taken without its protection. So, he must have made a startling recovery (as the timeframe is rather short for its healing).

I kid you not some of the best bottles of wines for me have been from Aldi..

Pickett is definitely onto something here.

You and Pickett aren’t uppity snobs though. Therein lies the difference. BBO is the uppitiest of uppity snobs ever there was.

You are on the money as usual Dazzle!

In @WalkingCivilWar 's neighbourhood quaffing spewmante by the schooner is considered a trendy wine tasting.

Agreed. Some of the 'cheaper' French reds are quite a surprise, very much like those we used to drink here in Oz before supplies ran out.

Is Tmac still rehabbing the foot? There was conjecture he re-injured the lisfranc IIRC…

He was playing basketball with Gawn and Harmes, so safe to say he is good to go. 

The removal of the metal is just part of the process.

I also heard that Tom was in full running mode which is absolutely fantastic news.

Am I missing something? Shouldn't the young guys have started pre-season this week? I can only think that we start later because of our appearance in last season's final series - dismal as it was.

  • Demonland changed the title to Pre-Season Training

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1250503/afl-training-gallery-november-23

First-to-fourth year players are due to return to AAMI Park next Monday, while the full list will be on deck on December 5.

The fact it's the off-season hasn't stopped much of the playing group showing up at Melbourne's Richmond home to get a head start on the opposition.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
