    Given the injury intel input from Demonlanders Jake appears destined as LTI listed. Nominations to fill the void? Like for like or is Xavier ‘T’ sainted with an early opportunity?

    Will Noah Yze miraculously get a late chance to float his boat?

    Or Paddy Cross cross from Casey Demons? A proven career pathway nowhere.

    Mitch Kirkwood-Scott?

    A door will open

    No its quiet different. Jack had stress fracture of his navicular bone.

    My wife had a lis franc & I can tell you Jake won't play at all this year.

    Agree. Any suggestions he'll return in any real capacity in season 26 is dare I say, exaggerated hope. Sadly just what is 😞

    True but a big blow for Jake after getting injured in rd 0 v Sydney a few years ago Took him a long time to get going after that

    Not for a moment suggesting otherwise but just stepping back and considering, indeed only what the club is forced to evaluate...a replacement. We have some. That's all

    Not to take anything away from the poor lads devastating injury ( wishing you a full and speedy recovery Jake ) but sweet lady irony throws up curious opportunities.

    Bowey got his chance because ........ someone else was injured.

    Someone else will get theirs now.

    If there's a silver lining.... that's it.

    Happenstance can be a cruel playwright .

    This might sound kinda corny.... Max ,Disco and Ed were running tests along the boundary ( well so were McAdam, Maysie, Mathews lol )

    On one occasion as Max was awaiting his go I threw out the question to him.. "So Max, are you looking forward to next season? " .. now I know its a dime a dozen question from a 'random' but his reply was instant and I think totally genuine....

    With a big smile, huge glint in his eyes and and a thumbs up thrusted my way ... YES !!!

    So there you have it ...all bodes well for 26

    Can't wait actually.... been a long while tbh.

    There was an industrious vibe out there... a bit of fun ... but definitely a sense of purpose.

    We aren't playing 26 to make up the numbers... no by any stretch of the imagination. We're going to play some good footy ( maybe patches of average too ) but there were , even now, indicators that Kingy and Co are first excising the things that didn't work and slowly adding things that should.

    Lovely morning at the Paddock and nice to meet @Ghostwriter @old dee @beelzebub and a few others in person.

    The team vibe was good and seemed a lot happier than the few times I was there last year.

    Maysie was doing some resistance training by running with the big elastic band because he said he was a bit tight and sore after the other day.

    I didn't start long due to the short attention span of a junior demon with me, but quite a few of the players signed the sherrin and posed for a picture.

    On what I saw today Kolt would not be a walk up start, at one point and I am not certain it was him but he got rev up for not completing a task with required effort. Perhaps it is me but to me he doesn't seem to have part to his game that worries backmen. Play him fairly closely and his contribution is low.

    Doubt I will get a game

    We can forget him for 2026.

    That was Roo being admonished.

    Kolt was among a sizeable number who struggled ( imo ) to split the sticks during that drill..... amazing really as I would have thought that was exactly the outcome desired..

    Struck me some were more switched on than others. And and aside to being in the groove I'll suggest also being aware all those that watch and adjudicate are taking note... now !!

    Loved to have been a fly on the wall when Kingy probably had a bit of an around the table debrief with assistants.

    And it's "in fine fettle". But I'm just thrilled to hear that phrase and to be able to read about my team's training. The internet is such a double-edged sword. BTW does Luker regret his parents' name choice? I guess if there's one of those quizzes and it's for players with unique first names he goes in. That's not all bad.

    'tis a variant for sure ...

    Used by the musically inclined who know no better 🤔🙄🤣

    Oh, I was by no means disputing what you said. I just wanted to make a point of saying that the spray Rooey copped was followed by a more gentle explanation, if you will. I think this is great coaching.

    I dont doubt it. 😉

    What i took away from today is very few magnets are already on the board 😉

    No one should take anything for granted.

    And thats how it should be.

    I liked the looks of Moose... Luker was in seemingly fine fiddle. Roo looked out of sorts at times.

    Just my take

    But after training Kingy and Roo walked back to AAMI together and Kingy had his hand on Roo’s back and was talking to him in a gentle tone.

    Roo wants to pay attention.

    In the one on one drill Kingy was running, a defender versed a forward... the drill was not ( apparently) deemed finished til either the ball was kicked for score, or defender kicked it back to ( couldn’t tell )

    Roos 2nd ( 3rd all but non existent) efforts were , well, lax. He was let known in no uncertain terms 😉

    Just sayin' what was in front of me .

    Others seemed... umm... more keen.

    Question to everyone is this actually true? Did Robbie Flower have mongrel? If it's exactly the same as competitiveness I guess I agree. I just want to see players giving their all. Is that the same?

    No, not Tulip. He had bucket loads of courage. He could however get a bit of a niggle on 😉

    A very determined lad was Robbie.

    He willed us through some dark days.
