Any other posters who are here this morning: it would be great if you could do a training report. You know, a real one. 😅

Judging by many recent posts it seems there are quite a few in the Who GAF Anymore Camp. Well this thread is for those who DO still care.

Bad start: I just ordered a cappuccino and got an almond latte instead.

Vids laterssssss 🥳

    At least it seems like you don’t have a nut allergy.

    I smell a late change: no sign of Taj, and Pup is training with the main group.

    Interesting, could be pup straight in over Laurie and Howes or perhaps taking the emergency spot for one of them...

    Jeffo’s height on the website is 195cm. He’s now 197cm. Calm down Pickett, he thinks that’s it… he’s not gonna grow anymore.

    edit: PF, while I’ve got you and you’re calm… Claz again said for as long as Melbourne wants him he’s staying. He has no desire to leave whatsoever. I asked him if he’s confident Melbourne wants him and he said he’s doing all he can to “do the righty” by the club and they’re happy with him.

    Tracc ambled around the boundary for maybe 10 mins then went back to the rooms. He seemed really happy to be out here, I reckon the boys were also glad he was here. As were all us spectators ❤️💙

    As posted in his injury thread apparently he can't get his heart rate above 110 so still some way to go before some moderate exercise but fantastic he's with the boys.

    I reckon being back in the club environment is just as important for him. We know that he will regain his physical form, but it's the mental side of things that will be hardest to overcome.

    I hope now that he's back in Melbourne and back at the club, that he is given a match day role for the remainder of the year. Would be good for him to feel involved again.

    Salo is 100% right to play tomorrow, according to him anyways. His exact words were “‘cken oath I am, I’m PUMPED!” He stressed that had the medics ruled him out he would’ve accepted it coz *they know more than him.

     

    *I said “yes but do the medics know more than Demonland posters, I think not.” I didn’t really say that, but I sure as hell thought it.

    If he's not allowed to get his heart rate above 110. I wouldn't recommend that he has a match day role.

    My heart rate hits 180 every turnover.

    I told Riv there’s a rumour going around that he’s keen to go back to WA. He laughed. Then he sighed. Then he laughed again and shook his head. I said, “it’s nothing more than a rumour?” He laughed again and said, “Totally.”

    I was talking to one of the trainers. He told me Jeffo really looks up to a certain player and this player is a role model for him. I was waiting to hear a seasoned player’s name. But no, it’s Rooey, who’s only 11 months older than him and that might just be the cutest thing I’ve ever heard. 🥹

    Roo is mature beyond his years and has future captain written all over him. I love this kid, and he is criminally underrated IMO. Need to move heaven and earth to make sure he never leaves us!

    I actually think he could step into the captaincy role after Max. Aside from Lever and maybe ANB, not sure who is a leader young enough to take us forward.

    Would have preferred an outright denial rather than him laughing, sighing and responding "Totally" to "it's nothing more than a rumour".

    There’s laughing and then there’s laughing. His laugh was one that said “how ridiculous! Where tf is this coming from?”

    All good. After training I walked past the coffee shop and Alejandro, my gorgeous Colombian barista called out for me to come back. He realised he’d given me the wrong drink so I got a cappuccino on the house. Ergo our season is still salvageable 😁

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
