Anyone know for definite if the open training session for the training camp up at Maroochydore is on the 3rd of February? 

Depends if the players want to do it on this day

    Yes I think the team needs a good rest after such a telling final series.

    Hold on that's right they missed finals by the smallest of margins.

    Get out and [censored] the weak pea hearted bastards.

    I sense a theme, and it’s already getting tired after just two posts.

    It was tired before Christmas, hardtack.  Every time something like this comes up we'll have the usual 'hilarious' comments about the cancelled camp, not going hard enough etc.

    After putting us through 10 years of garbage and then finish 2017 off not only the last games performance but a player lead cancellation of a camp that focused in on mental toughness, we get the right to take little swipes like.

    No it's a small taste of what will come their way this season.

    I don't care about whether they did the camp or not but it showed abysmal connection between the coach and the playing group. This was another stuff up by a club that seems to move from one mini stuff up to another (need we mention the finals tickets email !!)

    The players were back at training today and, clearly, everyone involved has moved on.  

    You guys should do the same.  Blaming anything that occurs this year on that camp is something a 5 year old might do.  It's a reflection on much of our supporter base these days, though - they can't let go of the past and look forward.  We expect the playing group to do it, so maybe we should do the same.

    We could win the GF and there’d still be the usual suspects on here complaining because we didn’t win by 10 goals.

    No we wouldn't as players would be meeting our expectations.  Some supporters want us to be successful and not accept anything less others are just passive and are still accepting hype

    I want the club to be successful... I just see no point in dwelling on the past. What’s done is done, so look ahead.  I don’t accept the hype at all.

    let go of the past... the latest stuff up was three weeks ago......still rather current I would have thought.

    The MFC needs to be held to a standard and 2017 was not a good example in so many ways.

    We improved in 2017 and all expect bigger improvement in 2018. Dwelling on what has happened is nothing but unproductive.

    The 'hype' is the negative media believers who have no inner knowledge of the club and don't go to training but accept whatever rubbish the media whip up as being a true reflection of where the club is at.

    If you seriously think that any Melbourne supporter doesn't want the club to be successful, or that the players aren't aware of what's required by the FD, god help you.

    Players, coaches, staff etc all seemed to have moved on.  Bigger fish to fry.

    We ALL want success for this club, but what does holding on to a meaningless camp do for that success?  Nothing.

    No I think a every supporter wants and hopes the club is successful but there is as difference from wanting to expecting.  The mindset of good clubs is they expect to be successful and not hope

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
