This morning’s session will go for only an hour. Minus putting boots on, water/sunscreen breaks and play-fights, that’s approximately 13 mins of legit training. Therefore please don’t expect much of a training report (looking at you, @Roost it far) 😁

    You know you’re in strife when members of your team are making excuses before the event even starts.

    There may not be a training report at all since there may not be training. We’ve been here since 8:30am and there’s no sign of anyone. Usually by now the truck is here and the property guys are setting up props etc. and the marquee is up.

    Have I missed a weather report that says Cyclone Alfred is heading to Gosch's Paddock?

     

    PS: Please stay safe anyone in Alfred's path.

    Kicks are coming off his boot beautifully.

    Kicking drills including set shots in 3 rotating grps all appearing slightly different. No real running in bw which explains the 1 lap warm up

    Today is about fun. They are so happy and playful. Doing drills and sh!tt stirring at the same time. This drill seems to be about reaction times. There’s double handballs flying around players in a circle.

    Now there’s eight players in a circle with four balls being handballed and the idea is you can’t have two balls at once, ie. you have to give off the ball before you receive another.

    Can't see him out there. Might be training with the Casey team now.

    Agree with the above, definitely not a 'serious' training session today. Plenty of light handball and kicking drills. Everyone looks in good spirits.

    He trained yesterday. Was in the photos. Maybe there was a cut off point for non-listed players?

    That looks like a wrap. Not much to report today!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
