Demonland

Unless there is an injury JVR better have a full tank of petrol.

Decent crowd here. Lot of Tigers.

Laurie suited up in the change rooms. Woey looks like he’s the sub in the indigenous training tshirt. JVR sitting on the floor on the side of the rooms without shoes and socks on. Assume he’s not playing.

I missed the Casey match can’t comment

TMac already in full gear having set shots from different angles.

Woey & Laurie kicking to each other on the Members Wing.

Thought we were playing a kid from Casey when I saw Number 50 warming up.

Boys warming up. Lever doesn’t look hampered by his ankle. Running nicely.

An hour to go and the Casey overflow carpark is filling up.

Rivers has been named in the back pocket. Dunstan is still recovering from a hamstring injury in one of our last intra-club match sims before the practice matches started. Tomlinson was playing for Casey last week and I assume he’ll play for them again today. Joel Smith also just resumed training in a limited capacity just before the match sims. Did he play for Casey last week against the Saints? If so he’ll likely play again this week. Otherwise I expect he’ll be a week or two away from returning via Casey.

The Demons take on the Tigers in their final hit out before the start of the 2023 Premiership Season in 2 weeks. The match will be played at Casey Fields and begins at 4:10pm. The game will be broadcast live on Fox Footy & and streamed on Kayo Sports.

Eagles in a bit of trouble. Maybe they should have gone harder for Jackson.

I know it's a practice match and I have no idea who is missing from both St. Kilda or Essendon but neither team is impressing me.

Bombers 3.14 with 12 minutes to go in the match. Yikes.

He's recovering from a Hamstring injury. I don't know the timeframe for his return but he might be pushing it for Round 1 as well.

And you call yourself a fan.

I did the stadium tour before the Freo game last season. I think I might have to make a yearly pilgrimage to the holy land.

Tickets secured. See you at the Demon's most sacred of sites.

Who are you tipping this week? Oh yeah they're just practice matches. For the doom and gloom woe is us types look how much longer the Bulldogs have to prepare for our Round 1 clash. 3 FULL HOURS!!!!!!!. Free kick Bulldogs!!!!

A scare went through the Demon's camp at training when Jack Viney went down with a suspected knee injury. He immediately left the track and was taken for scans to assess the damage, if any, to his knee. On the eve of the 2023 Season Melbourne Football Club General Manager of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson allayed every Demon fans worst fears stating that that the scans revealed that "there isn't any significant damage to his knee". “We will have a better idea of his rehabilitation progress over the next week. While he will miss this weekend’s practice match against Richmond, we don’t anticipate him to be further impacted ahead of the season.” The club, through it's website, confirms that the 28 year old will be on "light duties" until he is fit to resume full training. With just 16 days remaining until the Demon's Round 1 encounter with recent rival the Western Bulldogs the clock is certainly ticking and Demon fans will be hoping that Jack will take the field in the season opener. A number of players are ready to fill the giant sized hole left in the middle in Viney's absence with Tom Sparrow ready to jump into the breach after returning from the break super fit and training the house down over the preseason according to all report from Demonland's trackwatchers. Angus Brayshaw might also need to be pulled from defence duties. James Jordon could be recalled from Casey to replace the injured Vice Captain.
