For all who are interested, there will be a Club Sponsored BBQ at Gosch's Paddock on the 18th December to celebrate the last training for 2015.

Training is expected to start at 9.30am and finish at 12 or 12.30.

This is a great opportunity to bring the kids to watch training, have a coffee and relax. Hopefully the kids will wear their guernseys and make it a fun day.

Any queries either post here or contact the Club on 1300 336 667

Obviously a hot morning at training; I went down and had a bit of a look around.  Without going into detail a few things of interest to me were... Jack Trengove looks in great shape and was

The thing that excites me most about 2016 is just the upside in some of the players that weren't at their best or missed last year Dom Tyson, imo at his best is a genuine A grader, if he gets bac

Headed to training with my 5 y/o daughter who loved meeting Jack Watt's and getting a photo with Jonesy.  Both of those are her favourites, and Jack in particular knows how to win the kids over.

excellent the club is hearing the fans.   they're listening.   & they're acting.

 

I can't make it as I'm a 2Hr-45min drive away from training,  Or 40min drive from the station, before a 1.75Hr train ride.

 

but am I really glad to here the changes ringing in,  for my beloved dees.

Sounds a better alternative than heading down to the gym (a footy hit to get me through the Xmas break)!

As a member who moved interstate 7 years ago, this sort of stuff really tugs at the "return home" strings!

My 7 year old lad is even more passionate than myself when it comes to our beloved Dees and if it wasn't for us both also being local Norwood members, I don't know how much longer I could resist the urge...

Great work by the club and hopefully plenty of folk get down and cheer the lads on...

Note - At least we get to go to a pre-season game at Elizabeth Oval :) 

I have asked Santa for a bullet proof vest and first aid kit for Christmas! :unsure:

What are the chances of them changing it to a Saturday if I ask nicely? 

Based on some of last season's results, there's probably more chance of the team turning up on a Friday than on a Saturday. :o

The Club has confirmed that the training session on the 18th will now commence at 9.45am and end at 11.30am.

Sausages will be sizzling and coffee brewing before training starts.

Hopefully everyone is aware of the parking limitations around Gosch's Paddock.

 

Awesome. Definitely take the kids along to this, they can't wait for the season to start!

Pretty sure the train station would be the best bet for parking for me if I could get there. 

This is such a big event that I intend to forgo public transport and walk from home.

This is a great initiative by the club which is really looking after its supporters.

I wish I could be there but alas, I'll be flying to Puerto Rico for a Caribbean tour.

I'll also be going to Trinidad and Tobago looking for some West Indian cricketers (there certainly aren't any here) and then on to French Guiana and Devil's Island (the second spiritual home of the Demons after the G).

Wishing you all the compliments of the season and looking forward to reports and photos of the final training session of the year.

And it's onwards and upwards in 2016.

WJ if you really want to go there I can stand in for you in the Caribbean!

Not sure they'll even need to bother with BBQs. For those who are going, I admire your commitment (and please drink plenty of water, wear a hat and remember that Satyr might look like Santa...but he's much, much more than that.)

Can't go but would like to hear reports on what the guys are up to and how many snags & coffees Garlo hate and drank as he doesn't have to pay for them!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
