Matt Demon

Connolly has completely different role this year, I'm not exactly sure what his title is but he has nothing to do with the football department anymore.

They still train at Goschs on the off days, I see them out when I drive past. I stop and have a look sometimes and have never been told to move on

Mitch Clark looks like he's added some muscle, he looks a lot more solid through the chest and arms. He was looking pretty powerful today on the lead.

From what I have seen at training Bleasey has been playing forward but high up the ground. I don't think he'll be playing as crumbing pocket type. He seems to be pushing up to the contest then bursting forward. I hope that makes sense?

Jesus Christ just take a chill pill people. It's xmas, go and put your feet up, have a few beers and spend some time with your loved ones instead of worrying about a football club securing a 2nd major sponsor. I'm sure we'll hear more early next year...

I spoke to Tappy briefly and he said he had to have some surgery to clean up his hip that he had previously injured. He hopes to be In full training early Jan.

Looks like the Docklands move Is gaining momentum. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/demons-plan-docklands-hub/story-e6frf9jf-1226215605385

Lol Oriental Tea House?

I'm sure the new sponsor will be announced soon. I asked at the Demon shop when the new jumpers will be In and the guy said they're just waiting to finalise sponsors, we should have them in by Xmas. That was two weeks ago!

Move on...

Some highlights of James Sellar playing SANFL this year. He's second on the highlights after Bernie Vince.

He's been running laps at half pace for 3 weeks now.

Interesting on the MFC website BP compares him to Dustin Martin. Strong at the clearances, kicks goals, big body.

Couch did train and he moves well and does well In the running drills, It's hard to say If somebodys any good from watching them run and do a bit of kick to kick. He seems to have a strong work ethic which Is always a good sign. Kelvin Lawrence Is In the rehab group but hasn't started running yet, I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with him. I spoke with Mitch Clark last week and he's not far off the main group, said he loves Melbourne the club & the city. I've been to most sessions and I have to say Tommy Mac impresses me the most, he will play a lot this year and from what I can see he will play forward, he has a massive engine and anybody that saw him at Casey last year will know he can take a contested grab. Don't be surprised to see Watts on a wing or even stints In the midfield..

I went to the Demon shop and asked about new jumpers. The guy said they should be available just before Xmas, they're just finalising sponsorships.

He was at the 1st day of pre season a few weeks back and looked to be keeping up In all the running drills he took part In. He may of also of grown a bit because he and Nathan Jones were standing along side each other and they looked exactly the same height to me. What's Jones's height? 179-180?

I'd rather have Valenti back at the club.

I was at training today and Neeld & Todd Viney joined in the clearance/ stoppages drill. They were getting stuck into a few of the younger guys. Gysberts got hit with some big hits from Viney while Neeld was getting stuck into him off the ball.

I dropped in for 15 min and thought the same thing. He is a massive unit! Jamar couldn't stay with him either in those sprints. Tommy Mac impressed me again. He's obviously got a huge tank.

Thanks RB! I was starting to stress.

Forgiving of others that required priority! You telling me he can't get one seat on a plane in 5 days? What a load of crap!

Apparently couldn't make the first training session due to the Qantas issues. He wasn't at training on Wednesday and as far as I no he wasn't part of the 3km time trial. What's going on?

I can honestly say I've never once given any thought to it.
