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 🥳

    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 😁

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
