Potentially a HUGE bust!

Lets hope not.

I still hold out hope, has limitless skill and if he can get fit and do 90% of pre-season (which hasn’t commenced yet) I think he will be an asset, but yep you are correct, could be. 

Although chances of a 2nd round pick being a bust are much higher, statistically speaking anyway, so trying to focus on up side :)

Sorry.. seeing the words low kick and Viney in same passage still hurts far far too much!

Assume you are referring to the last couple of minutes against the baggers 2023.

I almost cried, but I had the foster lad, so it was the stiff upper lip.  Fat too much.

Todays Training reports kicked off by WayneWussell, Winter Dan, Ditcha, Fritta and Turner, Roost it, Katrina and Ghost Writer, Kev plus all other posters has been another fabulous feast of footy information and pic’s as well. Loved every bit of it and distracted me from fretting about the Draft.

Pup has filled out too. Liked his evasiveness, playmaking, good low kicks ( bit of Jagga about him).

Good low kicks - heard a few other mentions of that too❤️.  Can we teach old dogs new tricks?  It did look like that in the first few games of 2024 then generally reverted to "kick it long and high to a pack".

Would’ve love for McAdam to be putting the effort in early, was really unfit last year.

Pretty disappointing, not sure how invested he is.

Hope I’m proven wrong

He does need to either commit 100% or retire now.  (In fairness he may have committed already but not be back in town just yet.)

How has Howes been going? Hasn't been mentioned much mainly Jefferson and Bowey.

Today Howes was running laps of the oval.

how is Harry Sharp training?

To my knowledge based on the reports to date Harry has not been present at any of the preseason sessions.

 He was in the same draft year at Bowey & Laurie so not sure why he is not required but it could be because he was listed with the Lions and they finished the season 5 weeks later than us he might not be required/allowed to start training until a certain date.

Harry Sharp has not been at training so far. I suspect that Demonland is right that Brisbane finished later, and therefore Harry Sharp will start later.

Thatll be it, he will need to have his mandatory 8 week or whatever it is break. They finished 5 weeks after us so he's probably a few weeks away yet.

If only we had goal songs like Brisbane ...

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
