Well … that’s your history lesson about the preseason so far.

Of course, most of the above has already been covered in our own preseason training threads.

 Jolly well posited; it shows, despite the recurring argy-bargy from some contributors, the serious track watchers and amateur journalists have been doing a phabulous job for DL participants so far this pre-season. Thanks, guys for your efforts of which so many of us are eternally grateful.

    Fritsch is not kicking in the short pass to lead activity. Salem is running with him and he hands it off

    Lever, McAdam, Spargo & Lindsay in rehab

    Interesting that Fritsch isn't in the rehab group. He didn't do the time trial the other day (neither did Max or Campbell) and isn't doing everything in the main sessions.

    Wonder what the situation is here? @Ghostwriter any insight?

    Feels like since 2021 Fritsch has been consistently unable to complete full pre seasons

    Haven’t seen Boy George this morning

    According to Richo Roy can’t train with us because the paperwork which was expected to be completed by today isn’t as yet.

    Also we in fact DON’T have any list spots remaining. The only way Roy can play for us is if someone gets injured.

    The ‘paperwork’ actually is signing up for Casey, necessary for him to train with us.

    Richo said some clubs have two picks, some have one, some might wanna try to pick him up in the midyear draft. We are “very keen” to sign him.

    He’s training with the AFL Academy today & Friday. He’ll be back here at Gosch’s next Mond, Weds and Friday.

    Yes I do know what’s going on with him but understandably I can’t discuss it unless one of the staff talks about it in which case I could quote them.

    We do have 1 cat b list spot but as discussed Roy wouldn’t qualify as a category b rookie which makes sense.

     

    I hope we don’t sign him simply because that’ll mean we stay long term injury free

    Does he have anxiety around it?

    a 2KM time trial is not always a the only indicator of running ability, particularly in this game where patterns (IQ) are as important as aerobic reach.

    Ricky Lever is on a stationary bike on the boundary absolutely barking at the top of his voice at the boys. He’s even scaring me 😅

    Nicknames: Aidan is AJ, Xavier is X, Shane Mc is Shano. Someone was up all night thinking up those creative  masterpieces 😂

    Clarrie’s body… his words: “nah I’m not in good shape, I’m a fat [censored]”

    He’s one on one with Keith, a physio. Running laps. Now he’s practicing set shots. 
     

    Just spoke with Shane. He’s on the stationary bike now. He’s on an individual program which focuses on fitness. Purely and simply, fitness. Building his tank.

    It’s still three months to the season start. May just have a bug. Hang loose.

    • 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?

      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?
