Day 5 camp report 

They went up a hill

Trac did not look happy much of the time (in Mansfield) He trained hard and well (another observation).

Perhaps he’s feeling a tad ‘sheepish’ (but not in a conspiracy theory way) after all of the brouhaha (now there’s a word you don’t hear too often) and is keeping a low profile.

Regardless of what he is thinking, he’ll still give his all, as he is the consummate professional; and besides, he knows that in the interests of his ‘brand’, he must perform on the field.

 

Tracc drove one of the mini buses in Mansfield. He certainly wasn’t sulking in the backseat and not talking to anyone as a few on here would believe. Time to move on guys. 

So much written by so many who know so little about one player.

I’ll give you my in-depth analysis of Trac’s psychological condition after I’ve been to training on Monday. You can take it to the bank!


Judging from the photo gallery Day five looked like they had a big day out in their respective teams, a lot of determined looking faces and it was pretty warm conditions. The shots in the gym they look lean and mean how strong does Langford look.😁

I really like our new training jumper.

Hoping we can use something similar as a clash jumper next year. The royal blue clash has been in since 2018 and I reckon we could do with a refresh.

It's awesome isn't it.

I love it. And agree it would be a terrific clash option - except against the bombers 

 

It would be great if the club could interview a few of the players about the camp - maybe some anecdotes about the teams event, the school visits and even the training would be great media content.  Could have interviews with an older player, an up and comer, and a new draftee.

It would be disappointing if the camp goes by without such content being created and shared.

They did an interview with Rivers… but a few more would be good

Love it.

I do like the royal blue jumper though.

Nothing wrong with having a few different clash jumpers though! 

Do we have anyone on the list with any serious injury concerns?…….it appears not and if that is the case we are in a very very good spot right now. Out of sight, out of the news, off to the side of the draw and fully fit. As usual my confidence is building through preseason.

meh.  looks a bit like a lolly wrapper.

royal blue clash is good enough

Any clash guernsey that isn't white or grey will be fine. Happy enough with our current 1975-1986 retro royal blue version though.

Yes, grey and white are the colours of weakness and surrender, as opposed to the years at the MFC circa 1975-1986…

Tbf we have now won a flag while having a royal blue jumper…. Maybe associate it with that 😉

The pics look a bit like a 'Survivor' episode.

Even the President was there

Not sure if he climbed the hill !

 

Any chance we can get Neale Daniher to hide in the woods and fire a few rifle rounds at the lads to keep them sharp?

Crazy that that was only ~20 years ago. He’d be sacked for that these days

I hear it all went downhill after that


Not a fan of the training jumper at all but we all have opinions

Id personally go for same colours (as home jumper) for the clash just inverted colours

If he actually did that he probably should be fired for that then

I think it was John Northey who set that up a few years earlier than Neil...had a mate hiding out.

He almost dies, yet comes back to pre-season in the best shape out of any player on our list.

ummmmmm……..hand me some brand Petracca!

Defeated the Balrog and comes back leveled up as Petracca the white.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
