Training 28 March 2025 Captain's Run

Harvey Wallbanger
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Another pleasant day of a "non-organised" Captain's Run - no drills, no soccer - just mooching.

Absent: From the 23 (plus emergencies named) Lever. Other absentees: McVee, Tholstrup, Jefferson, Hore, Kentfield.

Spargo arrived late, and whilst not named on Selwyn's injury list this week, the rumour is that he sufferred a concussion last Sunday.

Windsor had his boots on and was doing some kicking with Selwyn, so I'd reckon he is a good chance for next week - don't think he was testing for tomorrow!

No Casey players today - just all the AFL listed players.

And at around 10.45 am the AFLW team were heading out for a run on Gosch's.

    He was actually shown as injured in the list of outs when the team was named, yesterday.

    Presuming Lever is out

    Would we be tempted to debut Mentha? Or simply bring back in Howes (underwhelming) or Disco (back to defence?)

    Players in some doubt during the week often miss the Captain’s Run, could just be an “off” feet thing with Lever. Hoping anyway.

    That's the conundrum, isn't it. I'd take TMac in defence with Petty and May over Disco. Can they bring in another non-emergency player? Because if it's out of Howes or Mentha, I'm probably taking Ricky.

    We're desperate for leg speed and aggression, even if Ricky is a bit fresh to the system I think he will help our drive off HB. After seeing Saad EH debut for Essendon, it could be an exciting option to debut a speedster too.

    If Lever is out TMac comes off the bench into the starting back 6 and Disco comes out of the Emergencies to replace him on the bench and play forward. Tall out - tall in.

    that only leaves 6 backs need a 7th

    Maybe so. However, I'm not sure TMac was in the team for playing in the forward line - I suspect Lever was doubtful and Tom was insurance. If Disco was dropped, I'm not sure that Lever's omission is the reason to bring him back in. Especially if it's going to rain with swirling winds 35km/h. I'd have the 4 key forwards (1 interchange) as JVR, AJ, Fritta and Melksham. Mentha for sub for me (as much as it pains me for a debutant).

    I thought the mood was serious, business to do, focus quite inner for the group.

    They were a little late heading out and the expectations were palpable.

    Sestan, Brown, Fullarton, and Woey on the far side of oval near where Green was hanging out.

    Kossie and Mentha hanging out, Kossie brought his child out on the grass.

    Tracc first to see bubs.

    Good sounds, some near misses, plenty hitting the goal.

    Melky hanging around goals, on target.

    Great to see Sestan in the emergencies, we need some precise kicking off HB and career wise it's time we see if we can make it or not.

    Shouldn't that be Disco? Sorry but Howes is a fair way off at the moment. The oppo will look to run it through his man a fair bit me thinks.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
