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.

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 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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
