    The great 2015 gazebo heist.

    Club survives Norm Smith, Barassi, Mergers, Prendergast, Neeld, Tanking.

    Finally brought undone by gazebo expenditure.

    Self reflection is important.

    Best get a diary.

    I'm sure there will be a few changes for the weekend. Interested to see if Hogan trains - I'm assuming if it's light duties, laps etc then he will be rested for the weekend. As Moonshadow said it might be a good chance for Fitzy to step up and show that he can fill a spot, although I still hold my doubts about that.

    Irony.

    Here is my first ever training report....I only stayed for a hour so I'll just comment on what I saw and my opinion...

    - It was windy so disposals by all were average at times, BUT yes the usual butchers were at it again.

    - I love H's intensity.

    - Gartlett, Frost and H are great pickups, we look more dangerous with them in our team.

    - I know this may offend, but on what I've seen to date with Hogan he is not our superstar this year. He is just a kid still learning. He will bring a contest and another option up forward but will not star, for this year at least.

    - Dawes looked good today, took clean marks and looks very fit.

    - Someone may be able to clarify but it appeared Vince was involved in the sessions early, then went off to do his rehab training.

    - It looked like Howe was in the golf cart for the whole time, I hope everything is ok.

    - McCartney was running a few drills when squad split up into 3 and was providing great instructions and feedback. He'll be perfect for the development of the younger guys.

    I went along to training (it's still going) and can confirm Hogan seems to be doing all the drills and appears fine.

    Great to see Jack Trengove walking some laps at the start. Slight limp happening there!

    Vince joined in the drills at the start then pulled out as the intensity and simulation style rose. White also.

    This was my first training session for the year and for me there was a noticeable skill improvement but the usual suspects (whilst some have improved) were still ratty.

    Size wise, players didn't look bigger than last year - maybe more toned. Watts looks like a high jumper in physique.

    Impressive:

    The usuals (Jones, Tyson etc)

    Prince

    Frost

    vanDemon

    nice kick on White and King

    I like the look of Brayshaw. One of his kicks didn't make the distance. Is he not a great long kick?

    Pleasantly surprised:

    Jordie

    Didn't see Howe but he might've been there.

    I was looking to see if the Toump looked any quicker and decided - maybe a little!

    PS Like Wormburner above, I watched the McCartney drill and agree - he's a great find for Melbourne and he'll do wonders for development

    Thanks for the reports guys. I am in Hong Kong for the next week but look forward to an in depth appraisal of our match at Ballarat.

    Did Newton participate fully in training today following his head knock against Freo?

    The other thing from today which I thought was quite bizarre, I saw Saty on the sidelines on other side of the field taking photos then he walked off and hid behind a tree ...

    Don't know and don't want to know what was going on there.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
