    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.

    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…

    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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
