Is anyone aware if there's training tomorrow?

I've got the day off and wanted to take the little one in to watch the boys train.

Cheers.

    I think they're trying to keep a lid on things. 

    No training times on the official site.

    Sadly WJ we have had a lid on things for a decade.

    Lets get the lid off it is well and truly over due.

    Were you chasing him?

    He would have if you'd been on a scooter.

    I have orchestrated to be off work tomorrow morning so I will be riding my bike down to Goschs to see what is going on. Let's hope there is some movement as I have failed to get to a session all year.

    Today's training was held in secret in a secret location, today's training was all about the new game plan which has been kept secret,  they feel that they are going to hit the competition,  with a never seen before game plan which is a game changer.

    Earl, I think drinking and falling are natural activities especially when combined. Riding a bike enhances ones ability to fall.

    Hope it's better than the old plan of holding the ball up across half back waiting for the opposition to cover all options, before a 25m backwards kick to a man under pressure in front of goal, or a kick out of bounds on the full.

    Ethan, Salvio Plana patented the training wheel in 1996, now you and I know that they were around long before then, Huffy has claims in 1949. Kirkpatrick Macmillan has claims in 1839. No reference can be found of a Mr God inventing training wheels, however fires, floods, pestilence and Collingwood did get a mention.

    SL, clearly your priorities are all wrong!  A more dedicated Demonlander would have immediately parked his scooter, watched the full event, and filed a full and concise report for the rest of us!

    Your lack of consideration has been duly noted!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
