Demonland

4 Teams hand picked by 4 Captains. One team will be an All Indigenous side captained by Eddie Betts called Team Skill. One team will be captained by Patrick Dangerfield and will be called Team Speed. The AFL will pre-select 100 players of which the 4 captains will pick 10 players for their teams. For once I will be quite happy for us to sit this one out.

I'll be back in the New Year. ☺️

Excellent. Enjoy. I can't make it this week so all reports are welcomed by the deskbound.

This might be a photo of him. I remember that he was presented with his jumper by his brother on debut.

Great post. Welcome to Demonland.

Sorry I must have misunderstood. When you said trainers I thought you meant the training staff. I see that you actually meant the players being paired with other players.

Just for clarification are you saying that the players have been allegedly paired up with the trainers/preparers that they nominated as "not so good"?

What's the height difference between these two? TMac listed as 194cm and J Smith listed as 191cm. J Smith has excellent reach even without his leap.

TAB has released its 2019 projected wins for all 18 teams. MELBOURNE TAB Over/Under: 13.5 GAMES WON IN 2018 — 14 Gilbert Gardiner says: OVER Left a few wins in the bag last year so should be a lot better for the experience with another pre-season under their belts. Chris Cavanagh says: OVER Scored 14 wins in the 2018 home-and-away season and then went on to easily beat Geelong and Hawthorn in the first two weeks of September. Jesse Hogan is a loss in attack, but Steven May and Jake Lever are huge additions at the defensive end. Team on the rise. Liam Twomey says: OVER The finals curse has been lifted for the Demons. This club won 14 games last year even though they dropped four games by 10 points or less. Lock them in for an over.

@Satyriconhome Any word on Hannan? Was he out there today?

Different player to May. We need May to wrestle with and distract the opposition monsters whilst Lever comes in from the side to pinch the ball out of the air with his spaghetti arms and be off down the field before they have noticed.

Reminder that Friday is the last Open Session of the year. If you are heading down we'd love to hear/read your observations.

Love it that Jake took the bike outside in the heat to be with and watch the boys train and feel apart of team. Could have easily have stayed inside in an air conditioned gym. Leadership material.

Probably winding down if not already finished. The club does not list the Wednesday sessions as they are officially closed sessions on an open field. I get that the team need closed sessions to work on "plays/drils" and keep these away from prying eyes or reports on Demonland and other platforms that then can be seen by prying eyes. It would be great to have a closed off venue that could facilitate this.

I'll copy and paste these reports for every session and then Demonlanders will no longer need to head down to Goschs. In what way was he the stand out? I hope he gets another crack at the big time. Was probably the wrong choice for the Saints game.

Who else was up there? J Smith? KK?

What was he doing? Does he look hampered in running?

Slight ball busting but was meant in jest.

Thanks for the update @Graeme Yeats' Mullet. The Brayshaw in the recovery group is the mystery injury of the week. AFL.com.au initially reported him as being in the rehab group due to being ill in the week prior. He's still there a week on. There's got to be more to it. Chalk another one up in the interrupted pre-season group.

Looks like Lever is on the bike.

Officially it's a "Closed" session today but if anyone is attending training we'd appreciate an unofficial report. Thanks in advance.
