TRAINING: Thursday 27th March 2025

Training at Casey today. I’m not there but my buddy will send me notes soon enough. Apologies in advance @Roost it far but it may not be by the 4pm deadline. 

A couple of things she told me in a phone call which I had to cut short, though…

The Bison in a red vest with the firsts.

Charles SpargiPants running laps, not training with the others.

Luker also running at pace and looking fitter and healthier than a week ago.

Judd ‘Knuckle’ McVee running well and looking very happy.

TC rucking well. Training hard.

Leb…

… that’s when I had to hang up. But I’m sure she’ll include him in her notes.

    So the notes aren’t as detailed as they usually are and that’s because she ended up talking to Salo’s parents for quite some time. For those who don’t know, Mr and Mrs Salo are absolutely lovely people. They’re held in the highest esteem by the other players’ parents, so it’s no surprise that Salo is the locker room favourite.

    Anyways…

    -Leb jogging but limping.

    If this is any indication, Langford, Johnson and Billings will be in and Sharp will be one of the two (other than Jeffo) who is making way.

    I heard that there was no tackling today at training. Goody instead instructed players we are playing touch rugby this weekend.

    Goody the innovator, surfing the footy devolution wave. Touch footy is the future. Throwing the ball is already the new standard.

    How about Training that the Forward line spreads and a lead is made into space?

    Is it that hard to execute? Seriously

    Thanks Ghostwriter and your DA buddy at Casey plus all posters, there are a number of players missing from the Red team including Sharp, Howes, Wowey Jnr and Disco. Could be a few surprises tonight.

    Also, there are only 18 red players listed by GW above, so need to add another 5: Lever, Howes, Bill, Disco, Sharp?

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
