  • Demonland changed the title to TRAINING: Monday 5th December 2022



Way too early reaction:
Adams - big forearms, he’ll end up a solid lad
Sestan - 5 days and 1 training session in and he’s already looking leaner and more like an afl player
Jefferson - not quite big buckets but he gets a lot of purchase with his fingers around that footy, good size mits
Verrall - decent shoulders, probably the most developed of the young talls

A wintery morning, coldish and windy. Great morning for the time trials, headwinds on one side and a tail on the punt rd side.

Clarry smashed it. Goody was over the moon, they embraced several times. He is set for a ripper. Looking thin, nearly wirey. He is also showing some leadership qualities.

Others out front were Adam Tomlinson, he was in a different group to Clayton but gee, beat Tmac by at least 25 metres. ANB caught the front group.

Some bad news, Hibbo was having difficulty with his Achilles, left training.

Petracca was the only one missing.

So many new players out there. Here are some new numbers, 6 Grundy, 12 Hunter, 19 Schache, 26 Jed Adams, 28 Verral, 33, 38, 39, 43 (Burgoyne?), 45, 46 Sestan, 47 Jefferson and 47 Farris-white. Plenty of train ons.

Clarry has the hair bun. Langdon has crewed. Salem white.

After the time trials, they got into their boots, and it began.

Competitive right from the start. Into two stations, two players competing for position as the ball is thrown in the air, the other was soft tackling as the front player picks up a ground ball. Moved into three stations, short kicks, and the other two I can't remember. They transitioned to handball games with 6 on two in bibs. They then went to two stations, a sim with minimal tackling, (Hunter caught my eye with great outside run and kicks to advantage, Kossie and Sparrow as well). The other was a hard tackling handball game in restricted space. The tackler was not brought to the ground, but was expected to break and get the handball (plenty of noise as they prove to each other their shimmy and ability to stand up).

They went to their lines. Looks like TMac is with the back-line, as is Woewodin, and Salem stay there as well. Tomlinson doing some work with the rucks and the back-line.

Forwards bringing the ball to ground and snapping.

Some mids and forwards kicking down an alley, with a camera under the supervision of Williams for goal.

They then got their runners on again and hit up 10, 150 metre, in under 20 sec sprints.

Deakin Smith, and Moniz-wakefield, Verral, and Adams on a modified program.

Grundy and BBB working together in their individual program.

They have moved a gym under the shed where Joel Smith and Angus Brayshaw did light duties and were joined with some of the new players.

There may have been some drills I missed, it was a long session and with so many players out, there it was hard to follow. 

Addit, had a good look at Farris-white kicking when on the run and it was ok, hit lots of his targets. @Tim

Trent Burgoyne:

2019 (draft year): no games due to hammy issues, rookied 

2020: covid year, port didn’t play in the sanfl 

2021: 5 games, averaged 6.8 disposals. Delisted 


2022: played 10 matches, averaged 10.6 disposals, 2.8 tackles and kicked 2 goals 

He’d be a pretty bold selection based on that. Started to go in the right direction this last season but before that had 3 years of nothing

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
