  1. It's basic cardio training, and as often as not done indoors in a gym, e.g. circuit training. I wouldn't presume they haven't been doing it, just not perhaps as part of on-field training sessions.
  2. This is a joke, right? (Getting harder to tell on Demonland).

    "MELBOURNE has locked in a meeting with delisted Magpie Sam Murray next week as plans for its list transformation continue. The Demons have long been among the keenest parties in Murray since Collingwood informed him he wouldn't score a contract for 2020."
  4. Shows once again how little we on the outside know of what's really going on inside the club, and of what's behind decisions that are being made.
  5. Good luck with that.
  6. Because medical diagnosis, even at the best of times, is a series of calculated guesses. As is treatment, where the best we have is "this usually works". Have you never had a doctor say "take these morning and night for a week and if it doesn't improve, come back and see me"?
  7. “St Kilda is also rumoured to be interest in recruiting the delisted Docker, with SEN reporting the Saints and Demons split the costs to fly Bennell over from Perth."
  8. All for it, of course, who wouldn't be, but we're basically looking at a combination of Kolodjashnij and VDB, with a dose of the Trengoves thrown in. If he can get back would be phenomenal, but it's a big if. No-one's been able to get him going for the last 3 years, so I'd be wary of the "we've finally worked out what's wrong" talk.
  9. Bennell discussion - such as it is - at around 20:00. "long process" yadda yadda.
  10. Getting him is the least of the battles. It's getting him on the park that's going to be the tricky part.
  11. We do have 3 of his ex-teammates in May, Kolodjashnij and more recently, Langdon, while Nev Jetta has played with him in some of the representative matches. Presumably the club are doing their homework.

  13. You're ignoring: - the huge range of factors that contribute to a team underperforming - how they might have performed had he NOT been there. (which could have been even worse). Much of which is covered by: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcome_bias
  14. Another Demonland myth.

    Players will still get injured, and as with any medical condition, those injuries will not always respond to standard treatments in standard ways. Also, most of the treatment for the more serious and long-term injuries is managed off-site through specialists, with the club doctors only overseeing. It's the same for all clubs. Players are all basically seeing the same specialists.

    The medicos who contributed to making those decisions (Zain and Lallenac) are still there, and in the same roles. Maybe the club and FD know a bit more than you about injuries and treatments.

    "Head Doctor Zee Arain and club doctor Laura Lallenec will remain at the Dees."

  19. Looking at the points, Pick 3 = Pick 6 + 37. 3 for 6 + 1st 2020, even low first, would put us well in front.
  20. Though probably not much to do with Goodwin at all. It's why we have a football department and recruiting team.
  21. bing181 replied to Demon Forever's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    So did I. Lucky that with picks coming back the other way that's not what it cost.

    Stop kidding yourself, we were lucky to get what we did. No-one wanted him, even us.
  23. bing181 replied to Demon Forever's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Or not.
  24. Might need to find a set of steak knives to go with that.
