Have we decided we're far too good for the comp and no longer need to train? I haven't seen a report since Saturday.

I need another hit.

I've split this post into it's own thread.

The official site only has this Saturday's Open Casey training listed.

The last Open session was last Saturday's Maroochydore session. Presumably there has been a session since then.

What's the deal?

    I think they get a few days off after the trip north. How many? I don't know!

    I’m concerned Petracca is going to come back out of shape from this mini break.

    Exactly. I've heard he's trying to break the record for the most Maltesers and Maxibons in a single preseason.

    As it stands, I guess we wait until Saturday for the next report. Just have to deal with the shakes and fidgeting until then.

    Apparently he downed 37 beers on the flight home, and stopped over in Munich for Octoberfest

    They had a very early morning training session before they left QLD, Wednesday off and country visits today, then training on Saturday, probably do indoor work tomorrow and then maybe another outdoor on Monday

    I'm going in the draft - the amount of time off these guys get in unbelievable.

    Chook, the only draft you'll be involved in will be the one you yourself will create after having a curry.

    Take the week off.

    Fair bit of water to go under the bridge between now and the next "public session" thinking-face_1f914.png

    Perhaps the other sessions are closed sessions. Getting close to the start of the season perhaps they want to keep some things from prying eyes on the open to the public training oval.

    I think Chook was meaning Draught, as in the Carlton variety...

    Any training dates for the week of 11th Feb to 15th Feb as I will be down in Melbourne for the week? I'd love to catch a session and give any report I can.

    Absence, makes the heart grow fonder.

    You could bet on it - that would be a smart decision given our 'acquired' new depth and playing options.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
