    Hopefully a good turnout of Demons supporters?

     

    Sadly, I couldn't make it due to work commitments.

     

    It would be interesting if any media show up. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. 😒

    Boys coming off the track now. A very light Captain’s Run. 

    Major things to report:

    Fritsch moving freely and well

    TMac In. Moving well too. 

    No Joel Smith on the track. hopefully just a cold and they’re keeping him away from the group. Otherwise he has to be one of the unluckiest player to play footy.

    Any word on why??

    Would be a great sub. Disappointing if he's once again injured at the wrong time.

    Based on your observations do we think it's only going to be the one change only with McDonald for Melksham?

    If Smith is out then that complicate things. No exact replacement but weather probably opens the door for another small forward Spargo or Woey or Laurie. 

    And yes McDonald for Melksham.

    There's been a few instances where a player has not trained during the Captain's Run and played the next day. Hoping this is the case with Smith.

    Could be a sniffle, a family emergency, food poisoning.

    I believe his partner is pregnant, maybe she's in labour? 

    Am I worried? No. I am not worried. I never worry

    A few obvervations but it was a very short and light session so don't read too much into it:

    The end to end no pressure drill suits Hunter but he really is a beautiful kick of the footy

    Oliver had the fumbles

    Kozzie was taking set shots at the end and wasn't setting the world on fire with either drop punts or across the body shots

    Chandler gets some real penetration on his kicks with little effort

    Smith was a no show. I've got no idea how our forward setup would look without him so I'm guessing Collingwood will be in the same boat. Hopefully he is fine

    Genuinely curious why those young Casey players are still training and not having an early start to their pre-season to freshen up? It's not like any of them will play in finals.

    What if the flu ravages the team similar to Geelong 2021??

    Smith is in Pic 13 from Monday's training gallery. Let's hope it's a dentist appointment.

    Gees what a good report. I've never been less confident of kicking a winning score!

    • 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.
