The mood is sky-high! The energy is electric. It’s such a great place to be this morning, more so than usual. I can even hear a couple of the boys singing along with the music in the tent. In case anyone is wondering, the song is called “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom” by Venga Boys (I had to Shazam it). 

So are you gonna get on the Vengabus? 🤣

 

Another big thanks to Ghostwriter, WayneWussell, Tony Anderson#11, Travy14,  Ditcha, Demonland, Harvey Wallbanger, Startibartfast, all posters and special comments, greatly appreciated.👍😎

He wasn’t “carried” from the field. He came off under his own steam. He didn’t even have his arms around the doc and the physio. These exaggerations are so annoying. 

Huh?

What the other track watchers will do if @Roost it far gets down to training...

As a trackwatcher, I can definitely confirm Judd got assisted/carried from the field by two trainers. Initially he could not put any weight through the leg (it initially looked like it could be an ankle because of this). He looked in a lot of pain. Once he got the the sidelines he was slowly able to put some wait through the leg, and the pain seemed to ease slowly. It didn't look good live, but let's hope GW's inside word from the trainers is correct. Fingers crossed he is okay!!

Taj also got assessed by the trainer for some shoulder/neck discomfort after a big collision. He did not return to the match sim (there was not long left to go), although he was happily taking snaps at goal from the boundary line at the conclusion of training. Hopefully a non-issue.

Oh one other thing, when this was reported I said nothing. It was only after you commented and poked the bear that I responded! And I might add pretty tamely!

HELL NO!!!

The young guys have the schittiest taste in music and they’re always the ones that select it, but it’s because the older guys don’t care what’s being played.

That’s NOT being carried off. As our medical update says, he was helped off. Big difference

While I'm also becoming an old fart lamenting Autotune and melody-less hiphop chants etc in recent years the equally awful Eurotrash Vengaboys group were a big thing in 98/99. Half the team wouldn't have been alive when the Vengaboys' cheesy rubbish was piping though shopping malls and coin arcades.


A hot day down at Gosch's Paddock.

They are working the squad hard, plenty of running and for a longer time of exertion than early preseason runs.

A few suffered brain fades in the heat.

The overall skin folds are minimal, their bodies are top light, they are ready to run.

Great to see Spargo with the squad, he participated in the non-contact drills, the same for Tracc, who ran numerous laps, when they did sims.

Fullarton is now in full training as is Lever, and McAdam.

No shows, included Viney, Windsor, Bowey, Salem, Tholstrup and Kentfield.

Goody and Chaplin were very vocal, mainly about the structural forms.

The sims were dedicated to last few minutes, perhaps 10 sets were performed. The team in front, played behind the ball. The lead changed numerous times. They finished with the 30-second board being shown from the boundary, the ones in front protected the ball and the defensive had to match up. The ones in front managed easily.

Langdon is flourishing as an on baller. Plenty of touches, a few inside the forward 50.

Lindsay and Billings on one wing with Woewodin and Sharp the other side. They were making lots of connections boundary side for the back to the forwards.

Chandler and Sparrow in the half-forward area, though not much involvement.

Petty running the full ground from back to forward area, with Hore in tow.

Jefferson started down back, fluffed a couple of easy marks, they moved him forward and he did much better.

Sestan off halfback is doing well and Verrall had a good session up forward.

AMW has poise and making good decisions with the ball.

Kossie is looking good, ripping through the traffic with turns and bluffs.

Campbell is giving Gawn some resistance in ruck and around the field, he is competing well against him. Gawn is doing more leadership now, vocal and supportive to the others. Actually, most of them are getting into the encouragement and congratulations.

Poor Juddy, when he did 'it', he started crawling off to the boundary, team first attitude, get out of the way of others, while spasms and pain hit him.

Yeah I meant for most of the walk. As they neared the boundary the Doc and the physio got under his arms. Point is, he was walking.

Your insights from training are really appreciated, but please don’t flat out make stuff up otherwise people will start to doubt other things you say.

It’s kinda irrelevant how he went off

It’s not gonna impact the xx weeks until he is back 🤷‍♂️

Keep up the great reports all.

sure looks like being helped off the ground to me...

Judd-McVee-hamstring_ib-pmoReRx.jpg

are you blind @Ghostwriter or just sharing misinformation?

Judd-McVee-hamstring_uefZI0k-lL.jpg

Really? REALLY?!!! God I hope you’re joking but even if you are joking, it’s not funny. I said he was helped off the field… HELPED not CARRIED. The pics you went to the trouble of posting show exactly that… he was HELPED not CARRIED. Moreover, within a few minutes of these pics being taken he was walking unaided and clearly not in as much pain.

So I’m either “blind” or have chosen to “share misinformation,” yeah? Wow. Would expect it from certain others, so disappointed to hear it from you. 

Right now I’m asking myself why I even bother to post on here.

Omfg am I being pranked? Cannot believe how big a deal this has become. AT FIRST THEY WERE FLANKING HIM HOLDING HIS ELBOWS. AS THEY NEARED THE BOUNDARY THEY PUT HIS ARMS AROUND THEIR SHOULDERS.

Not gonna repeat this again. Three times is two times too many. In fact not gonna post for a while. [censored] if I’m gonna let anyone insult me when I’m trying my best to relay things as they’re happening while there’s so much else going on. So go ahead and doubt anything or even everything I say.

GW out.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
