    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…

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

    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

    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.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
