I suspect the mood will be a little somber this morning. It usually isn’t after a big loss, but this week feels different.

On the bright side, it’s not cold at all today, I have sensation in my hands which is always a good thing. And I’m sure it won’t rain because I remembered to bring an umbrella (it only rains when I don’t) 😭

No sign of the sun coming out so no excuse for cr@ppy quality vids. But we all know they’ll be cr@ppy nonetheless. 😝

If there are any other DL-ers here, please do us all a favour and furnish a training report. TIA 😘

    Little known fact - its inventor wanted to call it a "brella", but hesitated at the Patents Office.

    Pup running along the boundary. I asked if he’s rehabbing and he said “No, I’m just topping up.” I nodded as though I understand what that means but in reality I have nfi

    I'm guessing he means building his tank. There's a bit of science around doing long slow (relative) runs to build fitness and endurance and young pup's tank clearly isnt there yet.

    Sounds a little like you want him to debut. I never would’ve known.

    I told JA26 that he’s grown significantly taller since the last time we spoke (about three weeks ago). He said he actually has noticed it himself and that he’s gonna measure himself and get back to me (bless him 🥹). But as I walked away I thought maybe it was HP35 I’d been speaking to three weeks ago 😅

    His ankle looked 3 times its normal size on Friday.

    Maybe, just maybe, the big guy can take an early mark and rest before the whole limb falls off.

    Gee it must be tough to turn up to training and face the media for the players

    We've gone from top 4 in round 8 to season over in round 20. A horrible few months

    Put time into the youngsters, get the hunger ramped up for next season

    I'd send him on holidays now. Big preseason.

    I was told by a reliable source that the club would love to play Jeffo for the last few games but they have serious concerns. These are that they feel his arms are not big enough for the average demonland supporter.

    Thanks as always WCW!  ❤️💙
    From your vids, the intensity seemed very ‘low key’ ……… reminiscent of a captain’s run, but with very little enthusiasm or chatter.  Was the (seeming) lack of intensity typical of the whole session (?), or was it just a symptom of the bits you picked up on film?

    It’s fair to assume that even the most positive player would understand that the deck is stacked against them playing finals.

    Given the whole preseason theme was about redemption and playing finals, that would be a difficult pill to swallow.

    The mood probably reflects that to a degree.

    The entire session was pretty chill. Not despondency or despair or anything like that, just not as fast-paced and energetic as usual. Very relaxed, like a team who knows they’re not playing finals. But also like a team who knows it’s not the end of the world and that there’s a ton of hope for next season. That’s the vibe I got and it was confirmed by a couple of chats I had with some of the boys (individually). I’ve said it before but the kids are so honest. They’ve yet to learn to only tell a fan what they wanna hear and to keep it brief. 😅

    Coaches gave him instructions and drills to learn to run 20m without tackling someone as it gets awkward in the office.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
