how is clarry moving @Demonland? he was a touch overweight (pot kettle from me here) and unfit at the end of last year. and im not blaming him at all by the way

Clarry is miles ahead of post-Christmas, opening of 2024 season. Fitter, Lighter looking (more muscle) and happier by comparison. He has the opportunity to reach his own peak fitness (2021) before round 1. Is on track!

How's Kynan Brown going?

I didn't notice Kynan as much today, mainly because I seemed to be on the opposite side of the ground on most occasions. He is certainly putting in full effort in every session. I place him in the group of young improvers... Brown, Verrall, Kentfield, Jefferson, Adams & Sestan. We will learn more about this group when the full list returns and they are doing full match sim.

Reigning Keith Bluey Truscott champion Jack Viney is the first one out on the track. 

Jack’s wearing the red version of the new training guernsey which is the only version available for sale at the Demon Shop *

* not an advertisement 

Just had a look at this online, magnificent guernsey!

Any observations of Jefferson, Turner and Laurie would be appreciated.

Turner looks really good.  Very good in the contested marking drill and prominant in the handball drill which were both in front of me.

Jefferson was pitted against Petts in the contested marking drill and was beaten in the first three and looked despondent.  He then took a ripper in the fourth.  He's looking much more involved and comfortable at the level this year compared to last year.

Didn't notice Laurie much, sorry.

Back to the keeping’s off handball drill with a different set of players. No one can catch Windsor. Verral tackling ferociously.  AMW just crunch Viney in a tackle. Almost took him down. 

Windsor.  Run like the wind.  Winner.  His name is extremely fitting.  Love this kid.  One who made me excited to watch our games this year when other aspects of our game seemed so dull.  I can't wait to see his development over the next 12 months.  


You'd think they might spellcheck before putting training pictures up!

A pleasant day at training, for me that is, not the players who were working hard and with some aggro i might add.  Some of the tackles lasted somewhat long.

Viney first out having shots on goal.  I reckon heaven for Viney would be footy all year round.

Campbell has his team strip and was running the boundary.  Also did that strengthening exercise where the trainers lies on top of you and you have to get up.  Then they swap over.  Looks happy to be here and has the look of someone who wouldnt be out of place in Game of Thrones wielding an axe.

Lever doing that weird stretching exercise again.  The last time I tried anything like that I was actually tripping over.  Spent most of his time running.

Howes and Sestan, who both had niggles last time, moved freely running the boundary.

TMc was in the drills and running very well for November, with some pace.

Turner looking really strong in the contest.

Spargo still doing rehab.

Loved AMW in the contest.

Petty and Hore very good at reading the flight of the ball.  Marty always looks taller than I expect.

Clarrie moving very well and no sign of a sore hand.  Breaks the tackles with those magnicient hips.

Roo doesnt like to get beaten.

Ghost Writer in excellent form.

Surprised that nobody has asked about Shane McAdam today. Was he out and about?

No appearance as yet.

Thank you to all the track waters that get down.

Us country folks are certainly appreciative of the efforts you all out in.

Who has not appeared yet?

Gawn, May, Petracca, Billings, Langdon, Melksham, McAdam, Fullarton, Kossie, Langford & Allan

Ghostwriter report -

Hey Katness,

Some tidbits…

Tom Campbell finally has his kit. Doesn’t know his jumper number yet. Incidentally, he’s 6ft7 (204cm)!!!

Selwyn takes perverse pleasure in making the boys run… A LOT (his words not mine, and said with a smile and a wink as in joking but at the same time totally not joking).

Tmac didn’t train on Monday because he was sick as a dog. He became unwell on Friday and was put on antibiotics. He was much improved by Monday but they advised against training because he’d lost a significant amount of weight. He weighed himself before and after today’s session as ordered by Peter, the head physio, who needs to insure he’s re-gained what he lost. 

Tmac’s baby girl is due around Xmas time but he’s sure she’ll come earlier than that because she’s “tracking well ahead of time.” Such a footy player way to put it. 😁

Goody said Jeffo to definitely debut early in the season. Sesto still a while off since he’s not quite ready yet, but is close. Sesto’s hammy nothing to worry about, they’re just being super cautious. 

Roo likes being described as having a bit of mongrel but he doesn’t think he has and hopes to develop it.

Despite being listed as 195cm on the MFC website, Jeffo is actually 197cm. 

All-time favourite songs:
Jeffo- Thunderstruck, AC/DC
Bill Laurie- Californication, RHCP
Marty Hore- You Were Right, Rufus
Roo- (needs more time to think but for now)  Black Betty
Pup Brown- any and everything Drake
Will V- Back In Black, AC/DC

Future training (at this stage)…

This Friday Gosch’s 10am-midday

Next week Mansfield

The following week beginning Monday 2nd December Gosch’s on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with the final session on Weds 18th December.

Post-Xmas training begins on either the 7th or the 14th of January (yet to be announced). 

Note: no training at Casey Fields for now because the surface is being worked on.

That is all 👍🏽

I wouldn’t worry about Max and Ed. They’re cycling thru the Sahara desert like a couple of unwell fitness freaks. They’ll be at negative body fat next week.

Thank you for this update, I've been curious since being drafted as I understood his dad is 199cm so though he wld have some growth left in him.

Hey Pickett time to crack open the champers.

Thanks Demonland, WayneWussell, Ditcha,Startibart, Fritta and Turner, Katrina and Ghost Writer and all posters, loving the reports, whose training, humour and the special comments makes it a great read.👍😁

ps( Jeffo at 197cm is getting to be a really good size for a key forward)

I'm with you. He's an incredible talent and as tough as nails. What a fantastic year he had

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
