Training with the main group? Modified program? Or just present at Gosch’s?

Doing his time trial currently, appears to be with the main group

    Are they all (those who are not injured) doing their time trials this morning?

    Looks like it, they're doing it in groups so it's a bit hard to tell who's in the rehab group and who's just not doing theirs currently.

    Oliver, Fritsch, Salem and a kid in #46 I don't recognise look like they're doing the rehab program.

    Tommo and nibbler are miles ahead of their group and almost racing each other with tommo just pulling ahead

    Time trials done. All going over to get a much needed drink.

    They picked a rough day to do time trials, might only be 10am but in the sun it's bloody hot

    Oliver kicking to Fritta on a lead, both clearly doing a modified program to main group.

    Salem wandered off somewhere also not with the main group

    The band’s back together!

    SOOO good to see Gussy. i got a greasy hug. Sunscreen everywhere. He apologised, I said worth it just to see you looking so well. He noticed my Demonland T-shirt, I told him everyone on DL loves him and are stoked he’s playing on.

    Noah Yze is here! Looks like his dad.

    Kozzie looks great, so fit!

    Today’s session is easy for me to explain… running. Running, running and more running. Poor bastards, I’m knackered just watching them 🥵 

    Maysie just walked past and said “this is the worst, I [censored] hate this” 🤣

    The rig on Tommo!!! Apparently he just ran the fastest, according to my buddy who timed them. So, not official. But hella fast.

    Is that TMc or Tomlinson? I assume the latter.

    Pretty sure I just saw billings in #33 getting called JB so maybe him and Fullarton have swapped jumpers

    Kolt aka my new bestie came over to say hello. He said, “nice sunnies!” They’re wraparounds so I said, “Yep, I’m rocking the Kolt look today, except mine are Versace, you probably bought yours at the servo for $20” He said, “$25 actually.” 😂

    Yeah I really need to go to SpecSavers. I’m having such a hard time telling Petts and Jed apart, and they’re only five feet away from me. 😑

    Doesn't help when they're swapping shirts to confuse us, pretty sure I saw Viney in #35 just before but who knows

    Currently doing ground ball gets or marks with tackling pressure.

    Notable absences - kosi and Fritta doing some running together. Oliver doing some running. And Gus doing a seperate drill with a trainer in the dreaded fluro cap

    Theory; If they’re still using last years jumpers Fullarton will be more comfortable in Hibbo’s fuller jumper than Billings.

    Forwards vs defenders now

    Defenders start with the ball then work it out to miss who turn over then practice a forward entry

    Defenders: may, TMAC, Judd, bowey and disco? (I can't tell)

    Forwards: McAdams, jvr, Laurie, sesten and brown

    Similar thing happening on the other side of the ground but I'm too far to see any detail

    Cannot believe I'm saying this but Ben Brown looked really good. Took a strong contested mark and another on a lead

    • 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.
