This is going to be a tough one for track watchers because according to the mfc site, “the session on Friday, 15 February has been moved behind closed doors.”

The question is whether there are any Demonlanders who are our flies on walls.

Otherwise, the next open session at Gosch's Paddock will be held on Wednesday, 20 February (9.30am)

    I wonder if behind closed doors means inside/another venue away from prying eyes or don't come and spy on our super secret game plan being practiced on an open field.

    Interesting. Monday 18th was also previously listed as an open session but has now been replaced by Wednesday 20th.

    Good, might be fine tuning our plan of attack for the big scratch match next week. Give the enemy nothing.

    What is has meant in last couple of years is an enclosed venue, obviously games are coming close, we want to do some setups

    On that note,  it was amusing to see a Norths guy wandering around on Tuesdsy checking all the faces under caps or hoodies

    Now that's a bannable offence. ?

    Not if he asks them questions about themselves, provides his views, gets Pendles, Sidebottom and Beams shirty about being asked and stirs up the Pies faithful on their Colliwobbles Board! ?

    For that he would get the Medal of Bravery (BM).

    We can't ban Saty for going to watch Collingwood train. He went along, stood by the fence watching their match simulation and bingo, right in front of him De Goey goes down with a leg injury. He should go and watch Collingwood every day of the week. He's their un lucky charm !!

    Well training at Casey is about as closed door as you can get! I mean does anyone actually live out there?

    Certainly a long way for you to ride from Fitzroyalty on your fixy Lekker, Earl

    If you watch the clip, I may be in background, it was about 15 metres away

    What happened @Satyriconhome?

    Impact injury or collision or something else?

    Nah, the normal innocuous training injury, just seemed to get the landing wrong in a marking contest, had looked really good uptil then

    A mate just told me that he reckons .... '....closed doors to teach all the backs how to smack Cox, all the mids how to smack Grundy, and all forwards how to outnumber and confuse the Filth defenders under the new positioning rules...' And that was just the pre=season 'friendly' match.

    I hope they didn't waste too much time on Grundy, he might not be playing, wasn't there yesterday

    Thanks for that, Saty. The descent of an ease of approaching trepidation at any gradient is a welcome thing. If he does play, Gawny need not bother to upset him, I am sure Preuss will flatten him at some point in a contest.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
