Captain’s run is always a short session. They came out at 9:45 and were done by 10:20.

Keep an eye out to see who rucks in drills please. :roos:

Yep I’m all across who rucked in the drills… it was a tall guy.

You’re welcome.

Poor bastards… the closest they came to having spectators was when me and my gaggle of girls were walking past them and we slowed down ever so slightly and glanced at them.

A lot of set shot practicing today.

Also, Kozzie was with two trainers practicing crumbing in the goal square. They’d get the ball to him low to the ground, dribbling (the ball, not the trainers 😅) and he’d scoop it up and snap at goal. Even though it was just training, it was a joy to watch. He was mesmerising.

Anyways, the usual apologies for the quality of these vids. And muting them may be best since my girls do luvs them some chitter chatter. 🤗

Thanks WCW greatly appreciated and all posters as well. Hopefully they didn’t use Fullarton in the ruck today. Lol.!!

Well no it seems certain that FullArton will never get a game.  If not now, when?  And Schache.

So Petty, JVR and Turner will be carrying the ruck duties.  Petty with a recovering ankle / foot / calf problem, JVR our most valuable tall forward, and Turner the hybrid utility tall I guess.

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
