The club website says today's open training session is at the "new time" of 3pm.

Hmmmmmm. Interesting. We play in the afternoon: we train in the afternoon.

Might this be a tweak of Neil Craig's or an adjustment to winter's depths?

Can serious training watchers reveal if there have been other 3pm start ups under the previous regime?

    Hmmn, this could be good, maybe they are trying to re-engage the supporters, & looking to see if the supporters will come to training to engage with the players, & with the club again.

    I've asked the club about this many times and even suggested it here and always been shot down about it. I've noticed lately others have been asking about it on the weekly teams chat also. Makes sense to me. Train at the same time of day you play. Seems simple.

    Yup

    and maybe we will even do some footy related stuff in the preseason instead of constant long distance running

    Neeld bragged about his 'elite training principles', while the rest of the comp laughed at how badly we train.

    • 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.
