TL’s 50th birthday today. 🥳

He said for his birthday he’d like to see a handheld banner that says “IN JT WE TRUST”’🤣 I said, “How about a JT giant head?” He said, “I will give you $100 to hold up a giant JT head!”

Poor JT almost passed out with shock. He thought we were being serious. His face beetrooted and he said, “Please DON’T do that!!!” And now I badly wanna do it. 😂 Except I won’t of course. However, the handheld banner is a distinct possibility. 

 

So no training reports regarding any player changes other then Bowey?

Captain’s Run this morning. If there’s no other Demonlanders here, I’m happy to answer questions.

 

 

Can’t guarantee the answers will be correct though.

 

🙃

Can you please ask coaching staff to take it easy today? A light little frolic followed by an Arvo of cucumber sandwiches and some tea perhaps? Big evening tomorrow.

( Eyes on Bowey please to see if you think he will play).

 Better than eyes on Bowey… I asked him! I told him thanks for letting me (and consequently all of Demonland) know last week that he’d be playing tomorrow night. He confirmed it today and even Selwyn nodded in agreement with a big cheesy grin.

Wow. zero need for that picket, and Dazzle clapping you. 

Not cool gentleman

Kozzie’s baby girl’s name is Bellanie. I don’t see @picket fence delivering this sort of news. 😏

Hashtag don’t cross me. You’ll rue it forevermore. 👊🏼😅🤩

Surprised and a little offended by PF’s comment, tbh ( does it show?😄). He’s never shown even the slightest disrespect for me before today. NOT surprised at the other one applauding it. The only surprise is that he didn’t ❤️ It.

That’s the worst training thread I’ve ever read but I found it rather enjoyable all the same. 

Uhm… thanks?

WOW!!

Imagine the nerve of people complaining about someone providing them with free info from training that they took time out of their own lives to do. This is not @WalkingCivilWar job, she’s doing it for fun and to give something back to Demonland. 
If you don’t like the content of the thread, don’t read it. 

I swear Demonland has become a collective for complaining. 

It's a captains run everybody.... sweet F all happen at these other than some running around and kicking balls.

Some of those comments about reports are embarrassing. Have a look at yourselves.

As one who prides himself on some pretty astute reporting from Casey Fields, I find your and others comments somewhat disappointing! Have a look at myself?? Indeed!

Tell Bowey he is playing for sure this week

😊😂

He knows!!!! And he couldn’t be happier 

Probably a lighter than regular Captain’s Run.

The came out in training gear, ran a little, kicked a few footballs and probably tried to avoid WCW on the way back to AAMI. 
Close enough?

I must say I thought it was said in a light hearted way, given that it seems there was very little training anyway. 

 

Do we have any idea who was there   or who was not there ?   thanks

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
