    The Junction oval was special... everyone milling around not really sure what to do except cheer every player as they came out.

    We're all not so innocent anymore perhaps.

    Mind you they were late afternoon in those days and gave everyone a perfect excuse to get out of work early !!

    The Junction Oval was rocking on the Thursday before the 2000 GF.

    I've been twice this year, both times before games I couldn't make it to (one interstate), and we won both games

    Now I'm not saying I had a lot to do with those wins.... but every little bit counts

    I can't make it to Perth, so I will be there Wednesday!

    Go Dees!!! ?

    Would kill to be there.

    Something nice did just happen though, my team leader was just heading out to a site and called me to say he was driving down Punt Rd past our training. Said he could see Max lining up for goal and then I could hear him yell out the window "Go Maxy!". Was a nice gesture, not bad for a Swans fan!

    Just got back. Boys looked sharp. Lots of drills around quick ball movement (unsurprisingly), good talking. Crowd of around 400-500. Very upbeat with coffee carts ice cream trucks etc. Everyone looked pumped but not overawed. Just like there was a job to to do.

    Bernie looked to be training with the mids. Oscar Baker walking laps - has done his hammy again :( Same spot as last time. Corey Maynard  not training. Will be ready to go for the first pre-season session.

    Maxy training the house down. Trac slotting all his goals (!)

    Cheers

    There’s an open training session this morning for Pies and Tigers.

    Great session, suns out and guns out

    Boys looked fast, real focus on quick movement

    Maxy was awesome, and the mids all looked good

    Pretty well unscathed, although Bugg off early after some treatment, looks gorn. No one of note started in recovery group at all

    By my estimate I think closer to 800 or maybe more watching on. All the players hanging around signing and selfies - just great for the fans, and boys lapping it up

    Go dees!! ?

    From AFL Website:

    • After missing Monday's session to monitor his training loads, Gawn joined teammates out on Gosch's Paddock for the club's main session. 
    • Both Neville Jetta and Alex Neal-Bullen, who also missed Monday's session, trained fully and look certain to face the Eagles in Saturday's preliminary final in Perth. 
    • During the warm-up component of training, Gawn took the main ruck taps and worked with midfielders Angus Brayshaw, Jack Viney, Clayton Oliver and Bernie Vince, who is pushing for a recall. 
    • Although the Demons are not expected to change a winning line-up, Vince and defender Joel Smith are considered to be possible inclusions. 
    • Oscar McDonald got some work done on his lower back and youngster Charlie Spargo got his finger assessed and taped, but both returned to training without further concern. 
    • McDonald rejoined training and seemingly moved well, but it was then decided by the club's fitness he should leave the session to avoid any further discomfort.  It seemed a precaution as much as anything, but one to keep an eye on later in the week.

    Up to 1000 fans lined the boundary to watch the players train, with merchandise tents, face painting booths, food trucks and a sausage sizzle all taking place for the supporters attending.

    So, looks like they will go with Gawn in the ruck this week, and not Filipovic...

    Good call I think.

    Another little tidbit

    JKHs session was excellent, really sharp and running hard and fast

    My view is that JKH will be the spare small, and J Smith the spare tall

    Can't see Vince or Hunt being considered seriously and can't see the justification for another change

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
