PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 7th March 2025

Selwyn instructed players to head for gym for a session with Tommy Turner the strength and conditioning coach. Suspect that's the main reason for players attending today as the ground training has never been so light. 

Kolt injury still being monitored before a return to full training is decided.

Bring on moomba

    Did they confirm his injury is back related?

    Rather than elbows knees or toes?

    As reported a light fun session - not even any running, probably because they will do an intraclub tomorrow at Casey.

    Absent: McVee and Woewodin (just the other 41, no George)

    Injury/Rehab: Culley in a moon boot, Hore's bandage off, but still just using one hand. JVR and Petty seem fine. Melksham and Spargo did everything and Kolt also joined the drills.

    Apparently back at Gosch's next Tuesday and for the Captain's Run next Saturday

    It’s his foot. Unless the medics have lied to him, that is. He says it’s his foot.

    Jai’s moonboot is purely precautionary because he has “a very minor foot thing”

    His favourite Dees player growing up? Despite the media citing Max and Vines, he actually has never had a single favourite player, rather he loved the midfielders. Even as a little kid he’s always loved the midfielders.

    Was he a Dee’s fan?

    Through and through. Third generation of diehard Dees fans. His family is delighted he’s now a Dee. He admitted he was anxious about getting on our list but when it happened it was the best birthday gift ever.

    Big thanks Ghostwriter, Demons1858, Demon Jack, Harvey Wallbanger & Kev if you are there, plus all posters and special comments. Pretty light run today, great to hear that Rooey, Petty and Spargs are all in full training and Kolt is back training lightly in boots and hopeful that Jai isn’t seriously injured.👍😁

    He is included on Casey's primary list.

    Thanks K.C.

    Glad he will be with Casey but was specifically referring to him (no longer) training with the MFC senior squad.

    I reckon every boy dreamed of playing for his favourite team. (Probably girls now too!)

    You reckon that will be open to the public Ghosty or just creep vibes through the fence?

    All about bonding.

    Most of the drills had a competive edge to it.

    Golf with a footy, closest to the pin.

     Group handballing, with one more ball than the number of contestants. The one handling two balls was out, last man standing gets the chocolates. 

    Snaps for goal off passes, two teams, first one to countdown to zero wins.

    Two groups, handles ball then passes to end the set. First to finish wins.

    Kind of juvenile, they were all regressed back to teenagers. Plenty of noise and excitement filled the paddock.

    Now that the AFL list is complete, and the season is about to begin, I don't think we'll see Roy training with the main group again. First Casey match is against North on Sunday 23rd March at 11.05 am - makes it tricky to get to both games!

    Unfortunately not open. Creep vibes through the fence will have to suffice.

    • 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.
