Langford and Sharp now doing a one on one tackling drill with Matty Whelan. 

In this drill, Sharp and Langford were being instructed to work on very fast swatting hand movements to try to evade or disrupt the tackle.

I speak Choco, part of the drill, the swatting was also designed to knock the ball out, the defender, perhaps the AFL has heard and if you get tackled and the ball comes out, it is holding the ball.

 

Wow what an exciting read today so much happening our three newbies plus Tracc back at training, Thanks Demonland, ww, Katrina & Ghost writer, Binman, Saty, Dazzle and all other posters and special comments plus photo’s, my head is spinning.😁

Had a great chat to Tracc, only bit I am willing to share, now he is in a really good place mentally, at the end said he was off to the gym and weights...look out Rd 1


One more from GW:

Another DL regular and I had a long chat with Trac.  He was honest and spoke with passion. We would periodically say "We don't wanna hold you up", etc, but he pretty much vented the whole time and we just listened.  Not gonna elaborate but he's a changed person.  Even he says he is.

Just a little note about Viney, I arrived just before 9am to eat my takeaway breakfast before training.

Watched somebody shirtless pounding around Gosch's,  it was Viney, did this for another 40 mins or so, various distances, told him he would get fit if he kept doing that

In a good way, like he's come back really focused and committed? Or is he disillusioned with the club?

Here are a couple of pics of Jefferson from training today.  Slotted some nice goals, and got really encouraging advice from Turner at one point - absolutely fantastic to see from Disco.

Here's a snap of Daniel Larusso as well for good measure...

Isn’t Daniel Larusso the Karate Kid?

is that because  Jeffo is doing the crane kick in that picture? 


I would have to say that this was the most exciting training session I have attended at Gosch’s. Following so soon after the 2024 Draft, with Clayton and Tracca joining the new boys. With Jonesy back out there where he belongs… Johnson, the new Dark Horse! Fritta and Salem joining in on many of the main activities, and a number of other blokes back from holiday. A hot day in Demon hell!

That’s the moment I referred to earlier! Trac was bursting through in his inimitable style, but when Tholstrup and Langford got a simultaneous bear hug on him, in a statement from the new brigade, Trac was bought to a halt!

Thanks!  That is fantastic to see

What a turnaround in 2 months!  I honestly didn't think he'd be in contact training until Feb

langford has a strong fend off and loves a tackle

Yep, that's what i was referring to too.

I had my binos on them at that the time. Tracc walked away with a wry smile after the tackle.

By the by, Kolt's hair is full 70's permtastic.

I agree, I was thinking a few weeks ago that we may not see Trac back to his full self well into the season.  This is reassuring to see, he's not holding back and others aren't holding back around him.  He's going to be a beast in 2025! And I cannot wait!!

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
