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?

Not great seeing McAdam in rehab... from what I wonder

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.

A little late on this, but haven’t seen K White

Think he is training with the AFL academy

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.

Great to see that you're back wc....oh....I mean Ghostwriter.

How's McAdam training?

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]”

How's McAdam training?

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.

Clarrie done for the day.

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

What injury is McAdam recovering from?

Oh I have a dozen lines to answer! However discretion is the better part of valour!

  • 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?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • 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?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
