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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
