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.

    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.

    • 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?
