TRAINING: Friday 27th January 2023


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Considering the lack of training reports today due to the closed session, for those interested, I'm working at the AO at the moment and Big Benny Brown is currently participating in the 'Glam Slam'.

It's not much to go on, but he looks to be moving pretty well. Good forehand on the big man.

And still with the cap of shame. 
Anyone know if it’s the same hand he had surgery on?

It is indeed the same hand. Not surprised it’s taped up; I saw it without tape, the scar is long and deep. And that was a couple of months ago.

I’ve watched this a few times now and I’m still speechless at the acceleration in each subsequent step. 

What I really like is the way he squares himself to the goal face up a split second before kicking. 

That's a pure footy skill.

Taj Woewodin and Deakyn Smith have put on significant muscle over the break.

Smith is my smokey for this season.  He looked a fair way off last I saw him, but I just love the way he moves.  He has that smooth running style where he glides across the ground.  I could see him carrying the ball out of HB.

I read somewhere that players are on a 4 day break from their clubs as result of their collective bargaining. I might be wrong. 

I read that Essendon players were on a 5 day break after Wednesday. Read that in the article about their best and fairest Peter Wright hurting his calf. Not sure what was more alarming that he hurt his calf or that he is their best and fairest.

Anyway looks  like we trained hard Friday and then had another running session today. Whilst Essendon players are on a 5 day break. Sounds about right I suppose for both clubs.

Peter Wright had a great season in 2022, finishing 8th in the Coleman. I’d say he was easily their best and most productive player.

Deakyn Smith and Jefferson look very classy too, beautiful movers.

Smooth AS !!!!! We have a bunch of recruits who all may have the potential to bridge the gap Obviously some will and some others may take longer or even miss the boat in'23. 

But who they are is up for grabs and it is exciting to possibly think of the development potential. Bring it on!

We literally can not lose him. Just end me otherwise i reckon.

Dead set freak🔥

I remember watching Shai Bolton explode onto the scene a few years ago. It’s a similar progression between these two - starting small forward, good game then quiet game. Bolton has really only come on in the last year or two since he has moved into the midfield a bit more.

Kozzy still has upside and I think will ultimately go beyond Bolton IMV.  Once he is able to get even more consistent, I can see him sneaking into top 20-30 players in the league

You do have to watch it multiple times. You'd swear everyone else is just stationary as Koz just blasts through traffic.

I can't wait to watch him work through the midfield this year. Imagine having to try and tag the bugger.

Maybe our defence is just slow and lethargic (MFCSS) 😱😱😱🧐🙄

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
