Bowey, Petty, McDonald, Lever are the starting backs with Salem, and Riv off the back flanks for the ‘A’ team.

interesting that with mcvee being ruled out for the first part of the season that rivers has been repositioned as a back flanker for the internal trial game 

mcdonald in the 'a team' as may is set to suit up for the indigenous game, i assume

In the second half they changed some of the players from Blue to White and vice versa. I think it’s more interesting as to who started in Blue and who started in White. Blue (probables): Gaw

No Windsor today either so wonder whether Rivers goes back to the midfield once Caleb returns.

I’ll try and post some more consolidated thoughts tonight, but we definitely seem to be pressing up the ground on the transition and seem to be more matured with this than we were in the first half of last year. 
 

Bowey managed to push up and kick a pearler.

How did Bowey look? I'm hopeful he takes a big step up this year.

Fritsch with another, takes his tally to 3.1. 
 

I’m somewhat tentatively going to say Salem is back to his best, looks to be moving very similar to 2021 form and accumulating and distributing well. 
 

Theres a brief stoppage with the coaching staff addressing both teams. Play resumes with 8:39 on the clock for the second stanza. 
 

Clarry has been extremely vocal barking instructions in the D50/F50. 
 

McAdam with a brilliant gather and sleight of hand out of a contested turnover in the centre square.

HB, but I think he’s now being trialled as a HF. Missed a bit of play moving sides but he wasn’t one of the six out of the back on the most recent play.

Looks good, I’d like him to get it a bit more but he’s definitely one of our better users. I actually think he could be a reasonable small forward for us.

The challenge with Salo is that he seems to get injured or sick, misses a few games, then can't get back to his best. Lever is the same way.

Agree entirely. I really thought his confidence was really off last year and it showed. He really looked to doubt his ability to take contact.

You wouldn't think he'll play in the seniors off just one week back in full training.

More likely against Freo on 2 March.

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time. Activities included kicking for goal,  aerial , contest work etc. I noticed the following players not in match simulation Jack Viney  running laps and looks fine for round one . I think Kolt looks like he’s im

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
