Training at the Gabba

Took the family in to the open training at the Gabba today and had a great time!

The team did a lot of drills, handballing, kicking and shots on goal.

They split up for a little bit and did some area drills. The defenders did a drill with four of them... three running towards the goal - middle one picks up the ball, hand passes to the guy to his left, who handpasses to the guy running across from the right who handpasses to the guy running away from the goals who kicked it out to the mids.

Most of the kicks were pretty accurate and the entire team was very vocal for the whole session - you could clearly hear them from the other side of the Gabba!

The team then came over and signed whatever was available and handed out posters and stickers and such.

Had a chat with Max Gawn for a few - says he used to eat 16 weetbix when he was growing up, but has cut back to 8!

The team was all in great spirits and am looking forward to a great game tomorrow!

    I got along as well.

    Looks like Max and the Russian playing deep forward will be integral to our structure. Watts involved with backline drill. All 22 named were present plus Nicholson as the only emergency.

    Just a light run. Boys in good spirits. Max is a legend. All the players great with the kids after the session.

    He probably realised that he will need to start playing like Cox if he is going to be able to pay his food bills! wow

    Probably because Jack didn't get close to it last week. It's not your fault LD. ;)

    • 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.
