Some players were at training with there new clubs on sunday.

and some clubs fly in private jets home from perth...i dont think that melbourne should make decisions based on what other clubs are doing, but make our own decisions....and the fact that we have people moving to our team from interstate means that it is very hard for them to jump straight in, they are just young kids..some of them are moving into homes and it would be nice for them to pack/unpack and get comfortable before having to go straight to training...btw, i know the host family of cale morton and they have their own private gym so hopefully we will see early improvements on cales strength!!!

I went down for about an hour and I think that two of the new boys were training based on the evidence of everyone was shaking there hand and saying welcome.

When I arrived they did split into two groups one to traditionaly warm up and stretching while the other was very low impact with a lot of handball.

I assume they are not in full training. Bartram, Petterd, Juice, Sampi, Davey, McLean in the second group but were later in all the drills.

There was not a lot to report that with the exception of Junior . It looks to me that Junior is carrying his left (?) arm and only running but is otherwise ok.

Everyone was involved in lots of handball drills and for once I was impressed with there skills. I hardly saw a dropped ball and at some stages there were probably 20 balls going backwards and forwards.

Juice, Bartram and Petterd were all clean handed when they did drills involving both hands and at speed off a net.

When I left they were into kicking drills and that too looked encouraging with none of the sloppiness I remember seeing this time last year.

The fitness guy had a couple of people monitoring heart rates (over heard ranging from 170 to 110) and also distance the ball moved in a given time for each group had some machine set up that recorded it on a computer and he was backwards and forwards to the guys pushing them on.

This was a very organised session (ground was covered in coloured plates for different drills, which they moved seamlessly through ) and, although I liked Daniher, today had a very different feel to sessions I previously attended, I think I might like the new coach better!

Paul Gardner was there for a while and I reckon he would have walked away thinking that it looked and felt like a footy club.

I Would assume that it was Grimes and Maric that you saw there, Anything to report on them?

I don't know which was which but at one stage the bigger one was doing a handball drill with Juice and his skills were ok but compared to newton he looked rushed then I started looking down the row when you compared most to a newton or a davey those guys have all the time as they can handball without skipping to get balanced- hard to explain.

One minor point moloney was training without those heavy "bike" shorts he had on last year and seemed to moving very freely hopefully he is past his OP.

Minor point?

MINOR POINT?!

The rest was interesting, but this gave me a shiver of joy!

Fingers crossed, touch wood, all of that.

Also, no mention of Whelan or Rivers in that recovery group, anyone know if they were there and running free, or just not at training?

Amen man, i'd love Beamer to have a good year, he's had such an unlucky run with injuries. If he can get over his OP i really think he's got a bright future for us.

In fact you are correct Nugget.

Article on MFC site quotes Morton as staying with a host family for the first year.

You do realise that it takes time to move your entire life to the other side of the country, don't you?

I assume one or both of his parents work, they have obligations, probably a house they'll need to sell. So yeah, they might be making the move to Victoria, but they won't be at training tomorrow that's for sure.

Michael Newton, Brad Green, Colin Sylvia, Clint Bartram and Aaron Davey were part of an eight-man group that stood off to the side and took part in stationary hand ball drills when the intensity kicked up a notch.

I'm sorry to sound so negative, but it seems as though Sylvia will never actually partake in a pre-season from start to finish.

He is rivaling the great 426 for time spent on the 'not quite right' list.

Yeah I concur- Moving is tough for anyone. I dont know the financial situation of the parent(s) of the draftees. If they are not well off it is hard. Let them take time to move

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
