Nah not Sestan, think we’ve established it’s Cooper Simpson.

Sestan had tape on a knee but didn’t seem too restricted. Got a nice bake from Choc at one stage for getting too easily pushed aside by Grundy in a handball drill.

Had a nice passage of play where he marked at half forward, held it up, took the man on the mark on and kicked long right to a leading forward. There’s some class to what he does but he doesn’t get up and back like most of our players. He clearly hasn’t had training in that elite style of football. I don’t think we’ll know until the VFL games start if he’s getting 5 touches a game or 12+ and making an impact. And we won’t know if he can make a two way impact maybe until next year!

Jesus, no leeway from choco considering the kid is up against a 2 time All Australian 203😳cm 100kg ruckman 

 

In the manner of @Demonstone's demonstrative quizzes here is one for the trackwatchers:

What in the Hell are these markings on the ground?

They are placed just outside the goal square and are permanently marked.  They run diagonally toward one wing only and are

enclosed within a box.  There are also two diagonal lines on both sides from mid goal-square to the 50m line.  Same at the other end of the ground.

They weren't used as part of the "snapping" exercise run by Choco before the main session, so what are they?

Like he's a part of the furniture. Fits in well. Can take a good grab in a pack or intercepting. Reads the play well. Has clean disposal. Will also benefit from another pre-season in the gym in an elite program (if he gets a gig on our list).

And Burgoyne?

Unfortunately we are not the only sporting code/team that trains on Goschs.

If he makes the list will add him to the posse of up and coming young gunslingers [sic] Judd McVee

They are there to remind May he can only kick to the left!

And only to Max Gawn 

Surely someone knows something about Lever. Too important to miss a chunk of pre season.

My suspicion on Monday was groin related based on the type of rehabilitation exercises.

My theory after seeing The Fabelmans which is based on the early life of Steven Spielberg is that the markings are designed as a message to the aliens who are trying to find E.T. and get him back home. This is based on the fact that the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was released in 1982 and his planet is reputed to be a shade over 20 light years away. Of course, Chocco Williams might have a different explanation.

Does he look like he's ready to sign a contract?

He is running around with a pen velcroed to his shorts.

Pheww huge thanks to Demonland, Slartibartfast, DeeSpencer and all posters love the training reports and inputs, always interesting when a couple of high skilled unknowns roll up and cause a bit of confusion as well. Be nice to pick up one of those two in the Draft.!!!

Neither looked out of place in the squad. That is, they weren't raw recruits fumbling, nervous and making mistakes.

That's good if it's Port's recruiters chasing.

Anyone care to suggest what name a fourth child might have been given by the Duursma parents, given the alphabetical progression from Xavier to Yasmin and then Zane?

Elon might have some ideas.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
