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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
