Demonland

Another Match of the Round for the Demons

I wanted to start these threads during the week in case people wanted to discuss the other games in the upcoming rounds so I created my own graphic based on the AFL’s one. Because the AFL only release their nice graphic on the morning of the first game I make my own and in this case I mistakenly kept the Dees logo in the Thursday night away spot. Luckily the AFL released theirs and I have replaced it.

In his last 2 games Lachie Neale has sat out the match with a massive bag of ice on his ankle. Having said that he got 35 and 27 possessions in those games.

Memory Lane

For those keeping score of the toss

It's Game Day & Demons have a great opportunity to win their fifth game on the trot and go into the bye with 5 wins and one loss when they take on the Brisbane Lions at the MCG on the Thursday night big stage.

Thought he had a great game against the Bulldogs in Casey's last game after our Port game.

Dude I was just looking up that exact same thing. I remember planning a trip in 2014 when we played Port. We wanted to do Alice Springs with a side trip to Uluru. My eldest was 6 and I thought it would be easier to fly than to drive or bus the 5 or 6 hours albeit more expensive and I'm positive there were flights between Alice and Uluru. We didn't end up going so my memory is only of the planning of the trip but I was sure that there were flights. Turns out there aren't anymore and if you want to fly from Uluru to Alice or vice versa you have to fly to Sydney, Brisbane or Cairns and it will take 23 hours with 2 stops. Crazy.

THURSDAY, APRIL 11 Melbourne v Brisbane at the MCG, 7.30pm AEST MELBOURNE In: K.Tholstrup Out: K.Pickett (suspension) R4 sub: Taj Woewodin BRISBANE In: Nil Out: Nil R4 sub: James Tunstill The Lions will go into the MCG clash with the same squad that defeated North Melbourne in Gather Round. Milestone man Lachie Neale, who will play his 250th game, and forward Zac Bailey will both play after they overcame sore spots in the wake of the win over the Roos. Dees midfielder Clayton Oliver has been named despite managing a finger injury in recent weeks.

I would love it if they could get Nev Jetta in to present Kolt with his jumper. Both #39 and both WA boys.

Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin and Demon Dynasty were once again on hand at this morning's Captain's Run at Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from training. KEV MARTIN'S CAPTAIN'S RUN OBSERVATIONS No-one in rehab this morning, a Captain's run, 26 players. Laurie, Tomlinson, Tholstrup, Chandler, Woey, and Kossie are out there. Rehabbers are out now. Marty, McAdam, Melky, Bowey, Sestan. As a guess for in and outs, I would say, out Laurie, Tomlinson, and Woey as they were mainly in the yellow vest in the structural sims. <--- Admin Edit: This was the first inkling we had that Kolt would be debuting Tholstrup was doing plenty off the half-forward. Chandler was running hard, giving the knee a test, no problems. There are group, maybe 20, from the area around Alice Springs (Ntaria). One of them will toss the coin at the game. The indigenous players all made some time for them. All in the MFC colours of their own club. The MFC also handed them some scarves. MFC Casey players are out now. All rehabbers have joined them, Marty, McAdam, Melky, Bowey, Sestan. Sestan has some left shoulder strapping. McAdam doing well. Accelerating with power and some beautiful shimmies and cutting lines in a handball comp/drill. No, not Marty. Trainers call him out, he wanted to be in the drills, but no. Also, not Bowey. Though they both play in the structural sims. White caps are Sestan and Turner, (no tackling). Hunter doing some instructions when the sims breaks. The squad is looking classy, rarely any errors. McAdam is looking the goods, (in the sim), running hard defensively and when attacking. Schache is playing well. Jefferson gets lost at times, needs more work on his decisions and intention. When he has space, he kills it with skills. Andy Moniz-Wakefield is in the backline. DEMON DYNASTY'S CAPTAIN'S RUN OBSERVATIONS No McAdam or Hunter Marty Hore set to go for Anzac eve Rehab just joined.... McAdam, Bowsa, Marty & Melk Sestan's also joined rehab now Hunter & Moniz-Wakefield coming on with the Casey crew Kolt ✅️ <--- Admin Edit: This was the second inkling we had that Kolt would be debuting <--- Admin Edit: And this confirmed it. Moniz-Wakefield a minor calf setback but apparently now good to go with Casey this week McAdam right to go post the bye. Possibly via Casey? The boys were in great spirits today. Big voices and energy all round. Some concerned faces and banter between Clarry and a few trainers towards the end but wouldn't read too much into that for now.

You never heard of night driving glasses?

Almost a bannable offence but he's premiership player so I'll let it slide.

Big Cox got special dispensation to wear them.
