I was told today that the official start for pre season will be in two weeks time.This will no doubt give the FD time to sort out Cam Bruce's contract and complete the list - most probably in the next few days.

    Will training only be at Cassey for the summer?

    This is around a month later than what they did last year, when they started mid-October (Monday 13th). Wonder why ...

    Fair enough, but why not start next Monday (for example) if they wanted to keep the same or similar schedule?

    also as we are sitting in a bit of a better position than last season, i seem to recall october 13th being a really early pre season start. so it is just the coaching staff thinking that we are in a better position than the last few seasons, isnt it?

    I seem to recall from last year that part of the condition of the very early start to pre-season was additional time off over christmas, so perhaps the players will have less time off over christmas this year?

    Who knows, but any of the players involved in the China trip or IR series will have been in training anyway.

    You are so correct on both accounts- the one's able to train did so- naturally the ones injured or recovery is in place didn't.I here that they may go back next year to do some training over there- interesting-Ha

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
