Where did the players find the time for a Triathlon, they are looking super fit and invigorated, reminds me when Burges came to the Dees.

    Thank you for all the great reports during 2024. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. I am sure that I will see you at Ghoshs Paddock in 2025.

    Be interesting to see the quantum of turnovers over at Brisbane, Geelong and Collingwood's training this week, as a few examples.

    If they're far more crisp than we are, then we should probably be a little concerned.

    You'd have to expect some sloppy skills pre Christmas. 

    You raise an interesting question, primarily about whether other clubs have track watchers who post on their social media pages. I looked at several clubs, including the three you named, and I could not find any supporter forums similar to Demonland, let alone track watchers covering training. There is very little out there. 

    It appears we are unique and blessed to have a platform like this and how it is set up, where information can be shared so readily.

    Probably not an overly good thing to be talking about an 18 year olds body, but my god, Langford is ready to go.

    I bet the water was chlorinated as [censored], but still not strong enough for Jack to put on goggles 💪

    I hear ya, DD. 😅

    First session back, before the boys came over from the rooms, I chose my words carefully when I asked Goody if he’s happy with the players’ fitness and shape etc. I didn't wanna come off as creepy. Goody did nothing to help the cause. When the boys were in the tent (many of them topless) getting ready to hit the park, Goody says, “Have you seen the boys?! They look amazing, don’t they?!  Have a look at their bodies!” 😅

    and has already been reported by other posters turnovers were more pronounced this session compared to others

    Isn’t there a positive to be taken from these turnovers, in that the players applying the pressure that leads to said turnovers, are doing their job extremely well?
     

    So, what we have are players learning what is required to retain possession of the ball or successfully get it to (or be in position to receive it from) a teammate, while at the same time, we have players applying the kind of pressure that is required to create turnovers.

    (maybe I’m just a guy whose glass is overflowing, because I was too busy looking at the tap and not at the glass.)

    off topic, but with a profile name of ‘djr’, could you possibly be the drone operator at training? (don’t mind me, I have far too much time on my hands, and I love a bit of intrigue)

    The sad faces are for them, not me. 😅

    They love when I devote so much time to my footy “sons” coz it means they cruise under my radar. 😅

    Seriously, I have an incredibly close relationship with my sons. They don’t get into footy at all (hipsters, the three of them) but they love footy because it makes me happy.

    It sure does. The surface will be ready by then.

    It will be closed. Track-watchers can attend but can only watch from behind the fence.

    Wait for the HS headline “Discontent at Demons as skipper fails to train as he contemplates move to Collingwood.” 🙄

    Sounds way too easy. We will surely kick 30 goals every week. 

    Not even McAdam?

    The guy (Langford) is barely into his first AFL preseason 

    Yes !

    I’d barely finish the sentence “Let me tell you all about it” and they’d be out the door. 😄

    They humour me when I get home from a nail-biting win for example, but listening to training stories is a bridge too far.

    I didn't make it either - was still a bit worried that 40 minutes on a train would be a bit long for my guts to deal with... Then I got in a car and drove to Albury so go figure. 

    Pity you weren't there because you would've had a Demonland exclusive regarding Max.

    • 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.
