    Is that a Parmi and Salad on your profile pic? Are they capers on the top left?

    *H Petty - is he doing anything of note?

    It's a section of my home made pizza and salad.

    Only the staff on the field at the moment.

    Glimpsing the red training tops,, as they meander to the truck and cover.

    Music beats start up, they mingle with trainers and coaches, a few doing dinky passes, coaches separate., whistle blows and they gather.

    Tracc is with them.

    No sign of Petty.

    Light duties, Tracc, Viney, Lever, Fritta, Hibbo, BBB. Joined the skill drills.

    Rehab, TMac, Tomlinson, Spargo, they are in rehab tops and are wearing runners. They have joined in the skilss drills, taken by Williams.

    Plenty of short kicking (look at the target then the ball, is Chocos advice). Plenty of goal kicking practice under supervision, then their out.

    No sign of Harmes.

    You're a legend. Thanks so much for doing these reports. 

    I'm wondering is it typical from what you've seen for JV to be on light duties during the week and especially at the beginning of the week. I am wondering if his foot is a permanent issue that they have to manage all the time. Mind you so far it sure isn't effecting his career best season.

    Viney was mainly having a different warm up than the others, using resistance bands.

    Thanks. I'm wondering if this is a permanent thing with him that he is being managed like this every week. Possibly to manage his long term foot injury.

    Very worrying about Petty. Maybe he won't train much this week to help reduce the bruising?

    Good to Trac is out there. If it was at all serious he surely wouldn't train.

    Is Joel Smith out there? 

    Looking as though he might be needed.

    Training well, kicking goals, and working on his process.

    Salem was very comfortable and appeared happy to be out there.

    Two AFLW players got some training from Mark William's. Eliza West and another I didn't recognise.

    With Sparrow out is any other player doing more midfield type work or they doing generic style training today and not position specific.

    You’d think JJ will play a full game and Clarry and Trac will play more minutes than they have been to cover for him. Harmes would be another option but sounds like he wasn’t at training which doesn’t bode well.

    Agree, I thought JJ in and Harmes to the sub, but they might throw Rivs in instead or a young kid from Casey as a sub. Sometimes in training you see someone in a different position. Would be good to know if that occurs.

    Couldn't tell, more of a get the week started, then any form/plan type work.

    Thanks Kev and all posters great that Tracc is unhampered and no other real injury woes but a bit concerning that Harmes was unsighted. Also how did Bowey look, lucky to be alive. Ha ha.!!

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
