Sean Wellman speaks of how its all going so far with reports ..so far ...so good.. still early but encouraging signs...etc etc etc.

I suppose it could be fairly reasonably argued that its highly unlikely anything too different form this would be uttered.

Still in reading the article one particular thing stood out for this punter :

"The Demons have taken a different approach to pre-season training under head coach Dean Bailey and Wellman is confident the players have benefited from the change.

“I think the players have really enjoyed it,” he said.

“I think the feedback from the players has been very positive. There has been a lot of game-based training rather than just running laps or doing 1km time trials.

“Dean’s really tried to incorporate the fitness into game-based drills because he’s obviously trying to teach a new style. It’s a really good opportunity to keep the fitness up, but work in that game-day stuff as well; I guess we’re killing two birds with one stone.”

Finally... stuff all this fitnes at all costs approach.. we have seen how this fell over with some of our games !!

Footy at the end of the day is about "PLAYING FOOTY " yes you need fitness and such in order to do it...but the "IT" is , and alwys should be about playing the game. Thankfully the new bloke actually wants to play the game and not compete in the Olympics !!! Halelujah !!

all rather pleasing to hear :)

    I found a tape on the floor under the seat of my car of a programme on SEN where Liam Pickering and The Ox interviewed Neale Daniher in the week before last year's Round 1 match v St. Kilda. Suffice to say, all was well then. Very few injuries and looking forward to the start of a new season. New fitness person Bohdan had gotten all the players up to their fittest ever. All rose coloured glasses stuff. Early December is way too early to say "all's well".

    like the sound of a heavy emphasis on game based training. Tom Harley stated what some may of thought was obvious. its not allways your turn to kick a goal, sometimes its your turn to chase,tackle ,sheppard, make a lead that may be ignored to create space for someone else. whether we have the ball or not everyone must know their role.no loose ends . our defence is often to slow to react. from everything i here we will be well drilled. during ND`s last couple of years there was a focus on tempo footy. part of the evolution of this game. allthough ND didnt bring us ultimate success, he did leave us in reasonable shape.Bailey has a lot to work with

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
