Just wondering does anyone have any info on pre-season training like where it is? or what time it starts on wednesday 31st of october??

Drove past Junction Oval this morning and saw a group of players training.

The only one I could pick up was Jonesy, as his bald head was shinning in the light :D

The players might be going through some testing before the official pre-season start on Wednesday.

Have been for a short while, a small group of players hard at it.

cant wait to find out and see which players have spent the most time in the gym or out on the pitch

I can't wait to see the players who have spent the most time in the pub and out at KFC. They'll be in for a rude shock, if anyone heard Bailey's speech at the B & F.

just in from MELBOURNEfc Members' Email

2008 begins

The Club’s 2008 campaign starts tomorrow, with players commencing pre-season training with a conditioning and skills session at Junction Oval. It will be Dean Bailey’s first training session as senior coach, while new recruit John Meesen will take part in his first training session at the Club after recently being traded to MELBOURNEfc from Adelaide. The session will start at 9.30 am and all members are welcome.

I'd love to watch the first one but as I'm not in Vic I'll be missing out

If anyone goes can they post a little about the session?

cheers

I'm tempted to football-nerd it up and pop down for a shifty. I'm on Swot-Vac atm and don't have any exams till the 15th, so I have plenty of time on my hands.

Yes we interstaters sure appreciate the reports and pics that you guys can give us over summer.

If it wasn't for them I think I would go mad.

Haha Coxy don't tell me you don't have your license...

Yeah I guess I could do that. We can be the Demonland paparazzi and report who's been in the gym and who's been on the gin. PM me your address if you're genuinely keen mate. Would be better to go with somebody else rather than standing around like a loner anyway.

We better get some quality pictures.... and by quality I mean close-ups of players who have worked particularly hard over their break :D

Damn you and your free time! :(

Haha Jaded it shouldn't be free. But by nature I procrastinate. At least I needn't feel too bad about it this time with loads of time before exams.

I'll see if I can get Dean Bailey to pose with Coxy for you; hot :wub:

The thought of getting that photo will get me through the practice exams and editing of a 30,000 word report tomorrow. :wacko::lol:

Now you can understand why I am jealous that you get to go to training tomorrow while I get to spend yet another day swearing at my computer.

I noted with interest that Pettard appears much bigger in his picture in China. Did anyone else notice this?

I thought so, he looked much older or something, too. Broader? Not so much the skinny kid, he looked like he'd put on shoulders since the last time I saw him!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
