    You are not Robinson Crusoe on that one binman

    It affects most Dees supporters at this time of the year to some extent

    No, I need him at big footy for when I get banned in here.

    Did Trenners get back into it for the intraclub? Plus any reports on Vince or Michie getting the ball.

    Tyson didn't impress me too much in the circle work drill on Wednesday. He almost seemed bored with it. So glad he got involved in the match simulation.

    Sounds like the plan is to be pretty fresh for the Richmond game but that's fine with me. It'll be early Feb, way too early to get carried away.

    Trengove was pretty quiet in the intraclub, Vince probably could've done better, started at the stoppages but I saw him fumble. I'm not sure how Michie went in the game, but he seemed really confident running and kicking during the drills, vocal too

    You intend to get banned?

    Very glad to hear Dean Kent took part in the match sim.

    The way people have been talking it seemed he would be out long term and hasn't trained all summer.

    I guess they were wrong.

    Great report! Not only did I feel like I was there. I feel like we won a final. Got my adrenaline pumping. I'll have a drink of reality later but not before enjoying the positives.

    This thread has got me pumped - great reports, thanks. Love this time of year - last season is just a bitter memory and I'm fully recharged with optimism again.

    Wasn't last seasons training threads also positive and we look good doing this and that?

    Then round 1 come around and the rest is well history.

    Hopefully it's a diff result this season and I will feel more relaxed once I c us being competitive for 4 quarters.

    tasman, top notch mate. Rog, thanks for passing on but it would appear your middle man duties are over.

    Trenners was fine. Just a bit of a rub and away he went.

    Vince got a centre clearance but then undid all his good work with a poor kick IIRC. Michie didn't see too much of.

    Tas, with Watts at centre bounces did he crack in or skirt the pack?

    Also was Dawes at CHF or FF?

    Watts did crack in to the centre bounces but in general play he skirted the packs.

    Dawes was pretty much CHF in the drills today. Don't remember if he played the mini-game or not.

    I was at a few training sessions last year and we weren't that good. Only bloke who thought we were really super amazing fantastic good was Neeld and that infamous 'training the house down' quote. Not going to lie but through these reports my rep will be on the line come the opening month of the season.

    how long before the inevitable " WE GOT THIS" thread starts

    Relax...

    Seriously though even being at Docklands, Saints (who will be competing heavily for the spoon this year) minus Dal Santo, McEvoy and Milne should be a good first up hit out for us.

    And Montagna, he is suspended. And milera (sp) Asada said he was naughty.

    • 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.
