    Reece was working with Jeffo, kicking the ball for Jeffo to mark. Sometimes a high ball marked overhead, sometimes lower for a chest mark. Jeffo seemed fine. He took every mark without issue. He said he no longer has any pain or even a niggle. Before the session I thought it was just wishful thinking on his part that he may be available for this weekend but having watched him train, I’m thinking he might be right. I guess I shouldn’t have called him a delusional [censored]-er 😂 although he thought it was funny.

    Omg. I am getting sick of reading everyone complain about the soccer practice.

    I tried to stop complaining about it, I really did. Then I watched the game on Friday and now it’s annoying me again.

    Id usually say that reeks of desperation. But i think we can all agree, that desperation is where we are all at.

    JVR definitely needs to go and i think he'll be back in after kicking a bag at the VFL.

    Fritta, i dont think would respond as well in the VFL. i can definitely see him struggling even at that level.

    Our FWD line should be Chin, Fullerton, Turner, Kozzy, Trac / Langford, Jeffo.

    But the main session is here. It’s at Casey on Thursday. The captain’s run in Adelaide is the usual sch!tts n giggles captain’s run that happens here (at Gosch’s) the day before GameDay

    Big thanks to Ghostwriter, Kev Martin and all posters, sounds like all our young brigade in Kolt, Judd, Jeffo and perhaps Lindsay are ready to play but that is bad news on Rick. Still I would rather him get that troublesome ankle sorted out so he can get back to his best. Some tougher calls this week I hope.

    Heard Lever is out for 6-8 weeks. No idea if this is a new injury or current ankle injury related.

    Just watching ch10 sport & they showed us at training. Trac looked in good spirits even having a laugh.

    That won’t last long.

    I really don't think they are doing badly because they kick a soccer ball after their PT sessions. It might have more to do with their other training that you don't get to see.

    There is a bye this week in VFL. So no-one is going to get any practice.

    What are we doing training at Aldi? Surely that's the root cause of our problems then.

    It’s been said a million times before, but VFL fixtures are ridiculous, and counter productive to the interests of aligned AFL clubs. Why the (expletive) can’t this mob get their act together?

    It's pretty ridiculous to have a bye round now.

    Exactly! The flush runs and captain’s runs aren’t serious training sessions. I get sick of saying this. They are half hour sessions with signatures and selfies afterwards. The boys come out from AAMI where they’ve just had a solid weights session or indoor skills session or hydro session among other things, have half an hour of light work, sign autographs etc. then head back to AAMI to continue their personalised training regimes. People need to let the playing soccer thing slide. The boys are super competitive and get a good run and besides that the soccer game is great for their morale.

    • 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.
