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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
