Wondering if anyone had heard when this was likely to occur.

I'd heard someone say Monday Feb 20th, however Feb 20 is a Thursday. January 20th is a monday, but that seems far to soon.

Wondering if anyone else had heard anything?

Why would Monday week be too soon? At least it falls before our first NAB Challenge Cup match against Richmond on Friday 14 February and allows Roos to get some feedback on personnel and structures before we play against other Clubs. Personally I would opt for the earlier time which gives us a fortnight or so to fine tune or rethink prior to taking on the Tigers.

Just mean it's to soon in the sense that they normally advertise it somewhat on the website. And so far zero....

on a similar note, does anyone have any insight as to what to expect at training on various days? I went on Monday and was slightly disappointed that there was maybe 40 minutes ball work and then heaps and heaps of running

does anyone know if there is a type of schedule in which certain sessions focus more on ball drills?

I doubt there's a public available schedule, but I do recall Roos saying that the first week of training in the new year would be about continuing the running they have been doing pre-Christmas and during the Christmas break and that on Friday the 10th there would be a time trial. If they performed well in that they could then tick off the running / fitness side of things and start to focus more on the game plan.

So perhaps from next week onwards there will be more ball work.

Roos talked about an early practice match in the interview on Dee TV, but didn't mention a date i don't think. I hope it is before end of Jan because i have leave late Jan and would love to watch it.

Be careful what you wish for binman!

You beat me to it, though knowing our luck it will be a draw :-(

Good question DD. I'm none the wiser. First nab challenge game on Feb 14 you'd think either Wednesday or Friday next week would be ideal for some practice match type activities. Given it's still so long from our first nab challenge until round 1 I wouldn't expect a full scale practice match but more an invitation to watch some match simulation.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
