They need a serious hit out before round 1. GWS will have played round zero and if we have too many players hitting round one cold we’ll get belted.

The round 4 game is on April 4th, which is almost 5 weeks after this Sunday's game.  There will be virtually zero residual fitness benefit for playing Pickett on Sunday.  All his match fitness and loa

He wasn’t mentioned by any of the Trackwatchers in their observations of training or as being absent. 

Didn't the track watchers state that TMAC left the training field early with those that were to play at Casey? If that's the case, then it sounds like Petty might be ill or injured, with TMAC taking his place in the squad. 

Edit: Sorry, didn't see BC_1718_DC's comment above.

Petty did the captains run yesterday so not sure what's going on there.

TMac definitely played at Casey today, he played a mixture of back and forward.

It must have been a very late decision to take Petty out and let TMac continue to play today.

It doesn't make sense for TMac to now fly 4+ hours and play again tomorrow then fly straight out again after the game.   After all it is only a practice game and there are more than enough players on the bench.  Let Tommy recover properly.

Idle thought - could the names listed be an error in communication ... 🤔

Of the other emergencies for tomorrow (Laurie, Jefferson, Campbell, Brown) which played today?

Again, it doesn't make sense to fly any of them to Perth for a prac match especially if they played a full game today.

Fritta is in Mandurah totally unaware that right now I’m going hammer and tongs with an extremely obnoxious, arrogant, loudmouth Collingwood supporter… his grandpa. This old man’s goin’ down and it won’t be pretty. If I’m not tomorrow’s news headline it’ll be a miracle. 😂 I mean, his grandson kicked six goals in a granny and he’s hanging 💩 on the Dees like there’s no tomoz.

Petty must have become aware of his hamstrings. 

Or parachuted into Adelaide for a round of golf.

I reminded people that TMac was our 10th best player last year and told youse all his strength and experience would be needed v the big Haze forwards.

I'm not surprised that AJ has been named. Hopefully JvR will spend 100% tog forward.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
