-Bbb trying to run along boundary- really struggling
-Goody not there
-Breaking off into groups
-Max with mids
-Practicing drills
-They’re doing a strategies training drill. Max hasn’t kicked and is slow
-Max marked and kicked left foot small pass
-Training with energy and loud speaking 
-Sestan running boundary
-Break into 2 groups 
-Practice is tight- moving quickly from one activity to another
-Jefferson and Lever on own with coaches practicing marking and handballing- lever disinterested- kept watching the fowards and backs group drill

My sis from another Mr asked me to remove a line that was less than complimentary to a player

    Is he a chance to miss this week?

    Was getting treatment during the Freo game and looked completely out of sorts by his standards.

    Big thanks WCW & Sis greatly appreciated. Wonder what is happening with Jed Adams? Hope Rick isn’t to bad and that Goody comes good soon.

    Is she the same one who got a blister, playing twister, when her friend kissed her, which really p-sed her?

    Apparently Goody pretty sick ? 

    Yep, it started when he watched the replay of the first half against Freo.

    Symptoms - nausea, loss of hope, dizziness, mood swings

    Any other news from training?

    Just what’s in the OP. Without that there’d be nothing since my buddy was the only spectator - @picket fence has clearly pulled up stumps on track-watching - and she’s not even on Demonland. She takes notes for her (real, ie. biological) sister who lives in QLD and I nag her to send them to me. 

    You’re welcome 😉 

     

    Oh, there was one other thing: she said that early in the session the media were asked to leave, and it was then that the serious training began.

    That way you never lose. Amirite?

     

     I actually play Twister every Thursday night, except it’s officially called banner-making. Lots of bending and stretching just like a massive game of Twister.

    Except unlike your good self, B-dog, we wear clothes. But there are rules: no shoes or bare feet, only socks (Demons socks are optional but we all wear them coz nuffies). No dresses or skirts, pants or shorts only coz aforementioned bending and stretching.

    The remedy - giving the Giants a good ol’ fashioned hiding. ❤️💙

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
