I know you have to ask the council for a permit to train on the ground but seeing as our youngsters wouldnt have played on there except for maybe un 18's I would think the smart thing to do was have a light skills session or even a walk around the ground to see how different it is to the G.

Everyone knows the boundaries are different and when kicking you dont kick down the wings near the boundary but thats what we were doing. I just hope that Cameron or Chris sounded it out to have a session on there. I know we did it one year.

    You'd hope so, Ch 10 news on Friday said we were staying the night there. Maybe that was the problem, I think that is unnecessary.

    Another 3K+ down the drain by staying overnight in Geelong. We did the same thing last year and got belted. I rememmber last year one player interviewed on radio said he would rather spend the night at home in his own bed.

    Yeah, they also mentioned on SEN pre match that we'd trained on the ground.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
