    Hey Jaded, the rumour mill is saying that we might all receive a long awaited gift 6 days later.   Not a birthday present, but reward for our  eternal patience  ? .   The post script also says that it might only be an 'interim' present, with more coming our way in the following weeks. ??

    42 empty rooms in Bali this week.

    Might be a good time to check for specials.

    Dropped by Gosches this morning, the boys were doing some light training, ball movement drills, then goal kicking practice from all angles. Max is very good from the boundary lines both sides. I didn’t see Frost kick a goal from any angle, better stay down back. 

    Counted 19 players training, no Kent, Tyson or VDB? No Hannan, no JSmith, no Viney today, he trained yesterday. 

    TMac moving well, not sure why VDB was missing. Thought a couple of fully fit next in line backup players might have been training with the 19. 

    Melbourne Victory training next door, good to see Honda cruising around the pitch, looks very good with a ball at his feet. 

    Oh and Vince was running laps even though he announced his retirement?

     Thanks Earl.

    As a guess, those missing may play for Casey. Vanders for more game fitness, Tyson because he has cohesion with them, Joel to see if he is ready. Kent, Hannan and Viney probably being managed.

    Gosch's is great when all the professional  teams are out there. Storm or the Reds as well next to the Victory. Usually the MFC only one's with spectators. Though Honda of late has had a few down there to watch him.

    I will miss this if we move our training somewhere else. Creates a good atmosphere.

    Vince will retire at the end of our season. Probably thinks he could get a game in the GF or prelim, if there are injuries or is needed. So will continue with his program

    Oops, forgot Dom broke ulna had operation, so he is being managed. VandenBerg possibly being managed as well. I remember him light duties/tested at thursday training before last game.

    I thought it odd that Viney trained on his own the day before and didn’t at least do some limited drills with the squad on Thursday just to reacquaint himself with Max and the mids and ball movement etc. makes me wonder if he will be ready for Friday Night?

    Any Demonlanders thinking of heading down? Weather seems to be ok at the moment, hopefully it will be a decent turnout.

    ....and it’s officially September. Anyone slapping themselves in the face?

    If he’s going to play on Friday night then I would suggest that Jack Viney should be at training today.

    What did they call it when it was diagnosed? Something like a minor hot spot on the toe?

    From what I heard on the radio pre gws game the wed session with Crossy was going to be super tough and push him. They would then rest him the day after, but I also would be surprised if he had scans after just to make sure everything was clear the day after.

    Thanks in advance for the intrepid landers that get on down and report back.

    Particularly keen to know how Viney goes.

    Cheers ?

    Across the river next to the gardens has decent parking, then just a short stroll over the bridge to Gosches

    Viney, Vanders and Tyson doing some runs in what looks like the rehab group at this stage. 

    Can’t spot Hannan anywhere at the moment.

    How's Tyson looking mate? i.e. what's his program looking like

    Also Hannan is playing for Casey today so that would explain his absence!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
