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

 Cant agree with his choice of drink there.. 🤮

*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.

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.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
