I have just returned to The Manor after watching my first training session in about 2 years.ย  I followed that up with a pleasant luncheon at The Duke along with a currently expelled Demonlander.

Just a couple of observations.

Tmac. In rehab but geez I reckon heโ€™s shed a few kegs.

Clarrie. Also looked in terrific condition and moved really smartly in both match sims and other drills. I reckon heโ€™s back !

JVR. Was very clean with his hands. Admittedly he wasnโ€™t under real pressure but Iโ€™m hoping heโ€™s developing into a one grab man. Was also moving very well and exuded confidence in everything he was doing. Big year coming up?

Trac. Looked ripped as ever and, perhaps more importantly, looked at ease with the world.

Tom Campbell. First time Iโ€™ve seen this bloke. Heโ€™s a big bastard. Looks a real head beater!

Harvey Langford. Saw him do a bit. Heย  seems very comfortable in the group and demonstrated good kicking skills. He will be a good size when he adds a bit of upper body muscle.

ย 

PS. I was going to buy a snag but there was a rough looking sheila behind the till. I reckon she was carrying a shiv so I kept my distance.

Good afternoon your Lordship I am planning a visit to training in the next two weeks. I always have to remind myself that training is like dancing with your sister. We look world beaters. Most teams look good in January.ย  When watching training there is always a missing element. It's called a seriously talented opposition.ย ย 

ย 

Sparrow sat out training after a heavy hit on Monday with a laceration on his cheek that needed multiple stitches. (Unsure if heโ€™s officially in concussion protocols but not taking any risks) Chandler has a slight ac joint injury, not a serious one. Club isnโ€™t too concerned.ย 
ย 

Kynan Brown escaped the โ€œsyndesmosisโ€ with his ankle injury (from Mondayโ€™s session) which is great news.

But I just saw the headline on the herald sun about kozzie not being at training. Is this his first session he's been absent or has he already missed a few?

Good question on whether this is Kozzie's first absence from training or if he's been away for a few days. If it's the latter than the Herald Sun are in their rights to make a bit of a fuss out of it.

You'd suspect the club is tailoring his pre season differently to others given he won't be seen until 4 April, down at the Cattery.


Some great photos of training on the club website. #35 made my day!

Hi.

No, not high. ๐Ÿคช

Unless you mean high on life in which case yes, Clarrieโ€™s floating on a cloud of confidence and positivity ๐Ÿค—ย

Apparently Kosi has missed training on Monday and today๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Heโ€™s attending to a family issue interstate (idk which state but Iโ€™m guessing WA). The Club is fully behind him.ย

Just some commentators trying to justify their existence!

He does, but I was thinking WA because thatโ€™s where his Nan is. Of course, it could be any family member.ย

That mustโ€™ve been when I was on my one and only break ๐Ÿ˜

But seriously, what a terrible way to describe the 13yo girl who filled in for me. Shame on you!

Clarry. Sorry for the confusion. In future I'll use "Clayton".

Itโ€™s not Clarry you are confusing us itโ€™s the use of Ollie!!!ย

Likeย any passionate football fan I've seen any number of uber talented players accross all teams over the years.

With no exaggeration in my 50 plus years of watching footy, claz is in my top 10 in terms of pure football iq and talent.

From 0.56 of the vid above suggests we should all be very excited about claz this year.

A reminder just how bloody good he is - and what a bounce we'll get having him fit and firing next season.

He'll be like adding a ready to roll number one draft pick straight into the side.

He's my fav ever demon, he still gets underrated even by Melbourne people I reckon!

Some other thoughts about training today.

Melksham and JVR were the most effective forwards. Both seem set for a bright 2025. Fritsch was also good but played further from goal much of the time... still managed to snag 2 or 3!

Billings and Short spent a lot of time on each other (on the wing I presume, although they roamed far and wide). I thought Billings had the better of the duel.

Roy G was more involved today. Ricky Mentha was impressive in run and carry

Jed Adams has definitely improved and is having more impact as a key back.

Jack V is running with the ball more than previously, but his opponents know that they can catch him and did so on more than the odd occasion.

The stand outs for me in match sim were Clayton & Caleb, closely followed by Rivers, Fritsch and Melksham.

ย McAdam was offering good leads and took several marks in front of opponent.

Bill Bailey is also having more input than previously.

Tom Campbell is the dominant ruck with Max being on lighter duties.

Langford and Lindsay did well with ball in hand but were not prolific (Clayton, Caleb and Rivers were)

NOTE: Slarti just expanded on another reason why I didn't notice them!

Well i hope Viney gets that out of his system during training and not do that in a game.

I think it's more that no-one calls him ''Ollie".ย  Although it wasn't hard to know who you meant.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Womenโ€™s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the womenโ€™s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterdayโ€™s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andย  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
