TRAINING: Wednesday 11th June 2025

Apart from a raucous soccer match, not much to report since I spent almost the entire session (all 20 minutes of it) with the most delightful gaggle of 14yo schoolgirls. Their energy was electric. Their teacher, Mr Hawkins, said they were hoping to get a selfie with Max. I said leave it to me. They ended up getting selfies with Max, Clarrie, Tracc and Kozzie and several others. Were they excited? You betcha!

The mood was upbeat and positive. No Kev or Wallbanger so likely no decent training report. Soz @Roost it far

Actually, not Soz. The school kids had such an amazing effect on everyone. They were standing a fair way from the tent so I went and brought them over and everyone was smiling, such was their infectious enthusiasm. The players, the coaches, other spectators, everyone.

    Did you tell Kosi that we are all waiting over here holding our breath, and we might be dead soon?

    I was there Ghosty - we thought you were just blanking us because you were all over the coverage on Monday - maybe Kosi not the only one considering a significant contract?

    My report just filed elsewhere - I am sure the administrators can merge them....

    I told him I know he’s already signed. He smiled and said “Have I?” Then he laughed. I told him it’s mean to keep everyone waiting. He said, “Nah, it’s all good.”

    A full attendance for the light recovery session today and great to see AMW also present and in good spirits. He mentioned to us that he has been building up his upper body given the significance of his knee injury.

    Viney had the glove on his hand and was doing one on one work with a trainer. Oli Sestan also doing particular work, given his slight hamstring strain, which kept him out of the Casey game.

    Spargo, Lever, Hore, Melksham, Campbell and Henderson all seemed to be doing only light work and did not join the (gulp) soccer game.

    More goal-kicking practice, and Trac - becoming a bit of a theme - was last off the track.

    Our general observation was that the results were "mixed".

    @Ghostwriter do you know if there is an open training on Saturday in adelaide?

    Yeah there’s a captain’s run at Adelaide Oval on Saturday. It’s an open session. We haven’t been told what time it starts but I can post it here when we find out. It’s usually in the early afternoon.

    I am not Ghosty. Ghosty can elaborate on the Ghosty/WCW connection...

    What connection? There is no connection. No one knows anything. You can't prove it. I know nothing

    Captain’s run tomorrow at Adelaide Oval beginning at 2:15pm. It runs for 30 minutes and there’ll be autograph/selfie opportunities afterwards.

    Apparently I was on the giant screen at the ground several times, but I don’t think the footage is included in the replay.

    Harvey Wallbanger is not Ghosty/WCW. He knows G/WCW and they’d probably be friends except he brings coffees and pastries for his cohort and not for G/WCW 🤨

    95% chance of rain (6-10mm) tomorrow, so best you bring an umbrella.

    Significantly better for gameday: 60% chance (0-1mm).

    We’ll be located behind the goals at the hill end (Bay 146) so feel free to come and grab a flag or a prop before the match 👍🏽

    • 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.
