Harmes not training likely confirming hammy news from vfl practice match.

 

Yep, the trainer in front of me said Harmes would be focusing on strength today

As did the Pies in the first quarter

True, but all you need do is look at the final scoreline to see which team was most affected by misses.

That article describes our predictable forward strategies to a T

A good read

And its so blindingly obvious.

That we continue to do it says it is our strategy. And how f*ing dumb is that

 

A few of the boys finished with practicising goal kicking, some nice shots by Viney.

Grundy hung back to sign balls and chat with fans - that seems like investment to me!

Dan Turner played forward in a scratch match against Carlton and apparently did ok. He was training with the forwards today and Greg Stafford spent a lot of time with him.

Brown, T-Mac, Smith, Turner and Fritta were the hit up forwards in red denoting they’re in the selection picture. Roo and Schache were in the green vests. Grundy trained with the mids.

No Clarry.

Daniel turner with the forwards. 

Didn't see clarry there today either. 

Anybody have any info on why?

Ooops I lied, there's a third group on the other side of the ground from where I am.  Similar forward sim, but too far to see who exactly involved.  They've now consolidated the two forward groups and are debriefing.

The defence team is also debriefing with Chaplin.

Max walking around perimeter and signing things - assume things will wrap soon and the rest of the boys will do the same.

 

Geez… You had one job, DP  🙄 

 

😁

The website said they wouldn’t be doing pics and autographs so it’s nice to hear that they are. ❤️💙

Asked 4 different players. All ignored the question. 

Asked BG if he was playing, said " I hope so" 

Lady next to me mentioned George on the Outers wonderful analysis, so there were at least 2 demonlanders in attendance!

How did Brown look? Did he look fit?

BBB looked ok in that he didn't appear to be limping. His left knee was taped, but I saw him involved with the forward group in drills. He was doing warmups etc with the team too. Did not look like a particularly intense session though.

Gawn did not take part. Instead doing selfies etc around the boundary. He ignored a query on Clarry's whereabouts from a supporter nearby.

Can anyone else who went confirm Clarry wasn’t out there?

Confirmed - did not see him out there. No sign of Gus too (unsurprisingly). Was great seeing Petts and melky there, though wish the circumstances were better.

How did Turner look as the forward?

This whole Turner up forward experiment all of a sudden becomes intriguing. 

Good to.hear Brown trained.

The fact that Oliver wasn't there and players refusing to explain why is a concern to me.

Then wtf are you even doing there?!

You KNOW you’re not worthy of an opinion! Now go and sign up with the nearest local footy team, get a few seasons under your belt then get back to us. 😁

PS: Seeya Friday night ❤️💙

If anyone going can find out how Gus is doing, that would be greatly appreciated. 

Just heard from a DA-er who asked Max how Gus is doing and he replied, “not good.”

It’s all we need right now. Wait for some reporter to put it up on Twitter in the hour.

Hopefully preserving him after full hit outs at Casey.

Is a worry though.

Any news on Tracc's knee which was apparently in a sleave of sorts.  How did he train pls?  Unhindered?

Edited by Demon Dynasty

Getting difficult to remain upbeat. Feels like things are falling apart yet again at the pointy end of the season. 
We’ve had no luck since 2021.

Disco to the rescue , it really had come to this 🤦‍♂️

Desperation stakes it would seem BM. 

They want someone who's mobile and a decent mark to present and compete inside 50 i think.

Who comes out if Turner's in as a forward?  T-Mac?

 

Tbh, I found the energy from the players quite lacking. The energy from the crowd and kids was terrific but almost deflated when the players came past. I think they're hurting & their confidence has taken a bit. 

It was a low energy session overall so perhaps a harsh judgement but it didn't fill me with confidence at all meeting a Carlton team on cloud 9 in full hunter mode. 

I think they're tired after 3 top 4s in 3 years getting bashed from pillar to post for lately, little reward. The injuries might have killed us I think. The remaining teams seem to have an energy and hunger about them that I don't sense from our group. 

Of course I hold hope and it was still a fun time, kids loved it and the DJ helped ,but feels a little inevitable to me right now. Like a looming exam you just know you're not prepared for. 

On the footy itself, a few observations:

-I have some faith Turner would do ok up forward even though that's probably illogical. He's a neat set shot, holds the ball all the way down to his foot. It may be an interesting move to tell him to play 'defence' on Weitering. He'd make an OK fist of it I reckon if he played from behind. 

-Clarry absence very mysterious. Let's hope nothing to see there. 

-Trac looked a little....green? When he ran out but trained fine. Such a loose set shot, either middles them or sprays them.

-AMW struggled with the short hit up kicks in the forward drill. 

-Ben Brown moved surprisingly well, looked no worse than Tom Mac tbh. 

-Energy in the midfield group far higher than in the fwd/backs group. Led by Viney. We are lucky to have him.

-Fritsch and ANB in good spirits, more interactive with fans than most. 

-love the way Verrall moves and have a lot of hope for what he could become. 

-Spargo is a little too negatively demonstrative imo. Does it in games too. Touch of the Hogan's. Probably frustrated with his year I'd imagine. 

Can't think of much else, any questions shout out will do my best

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
