OPEN TRAINING

Pretty excited about this. I'm off work all week this week so this will be the first open session I will be able to actually attend. Should be a big one.

    Cant take a trick with training this year, haven't made one session. I had organized to have Friday off in anticipation of a morning session but I have to be on a plane to Brisbane by 4.30!! So I miss again.

    Training on their rock hard oval. It's a trap. I hope we don't show.

    Watch for O.mcd  T.mcd and Frosty. All were super competitive and strong in marking and spoiling contests in Maroochydore.

    Frosty 2nd effort work was great.

    BUT THEIR DISPOSAL IS STILL POOR. NOT AFL STANDARD. Need Salem, Hibberd, Vince, Wagner etc across the back half to transition the footy.

    ????...the oval is in excellent nick, better than Gosch's I had a look the other day, Goschs has been cutting up badly, Macca and a couple of others have been doing divot replacement after training

    Gosch's is nice and soft. The Pies oval is hard. Hard grounds are ACL risks.

    It says training but is this in fact the intra club practice match?

    Great. I'm there. I have put an appointment in my work calender. Great ground to watch footy actually though not down at fence level as there is a fair old rise in the centre of the ground

    Interesting, I've heard otherwise from a source who spoke directly to Goody up at Maroochydore.

    Apparently it'll be more of a match simulation with some rotating groups rather than a pure four quarter intra-club. Source said Goody isn't a huge fan of intra clubs.

    Makes sense given it's being advertised as a 'training day'.

    Know any details? It wouldn't surprise me if they just did a 4 quarter training session like the on in QLD ramping up from smaller group match simulation in to a full team scratch match depending for the 2nd half. 

    With 3 practice games I'm not sure teams need full intraclubs these days. I'd be doing it for the fitness benefits of stepping up from training to games but not as some kind of amazing development exercise.

    Yeah that makes sense, but this late in the pre-season there isn't much difference between match sim and an intra club game anyway. 

    But whatever it is, it'll still be a great session to watch.

    Is this the Pies training ground?

    why train there instead of Gosche paddock?

    Under-13 Cricket gets in the way of everything at this time of year

    You're forgiven for your flippancy due to your late arrival on Demonland. But you have to understand in the dim dark days of just a few years ago the intra club was considered a highlight because it was the one game of the year where we could claim a victory...or, at least, not suffer an enormous loss.

    To take advantage of the facilities. There is a bar. it is a proper footy ground and much better for a crowd

    Daisy, I'm a bit old fashioned with some acronyms.  Does CCTV have something to do with Collingwood Television?  If so, I just can't get my head around what the 2nd "C" stands for.  Can you help me out? :ph34r:

    • 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.
