Finished a job early and have to wait until 11:30 for my next meeting near the MCG. Driving up Punt road and noticed the club getting ready for training. Perfect!

Boys just walking out now

    Bombers would be happy with that.

    Yeah just a short sharp skills and runaround session. Today. Most looked fairly clean with disposals and good on the move. 

    Viney probably wasn’t moving around as fast as he could have. 

    Noticed Hunt was doing a lot of leading in the 50 and also lots of snaps at goal practice. 

    Also generally we were practicing a fair bit of end to end quick transition play

    Sounds underwhelming Robbo but a humid morning and it is a day before the game so a tune-up is in order.

    We will need run and sharp skills to beat the blood stained hirds.

    Just a tune-up, Hemingway??  Based on the way the old bus was mis-firing in the first two games, I woulda thought something more akin to a complete engine overhaul might be in order!

    Ho hum Barrie I agree, but it may take far too long for a complete engine overhaul.

    Remember those handwritten signs on the back windows of cars, saying "running in, please pass."

    Yes agreed Brownie. Not sure why we'd have forwards working on their leading. Vertical leaps or turn and running more appropriate.

    Haha yes. Maybe even chasing people hopelessly back out of the forward line.

    If only Jesse was here. He could teach the boys how to make a vain attempt to pull a free kick when completely outnumbered.

    This tactic worked at least once every two games.

    6 x forwards divided by 2 games equals 3 free kicks in front of goal!

    Oh wait. We usually only have one forward in the forward 50 when going forward.

    Same went for a lot of 'great' men - and women. He's also, unfortunately, associated with the Nazis which is total lunacy because he died in 1883 and most people who make this association seem to be unaware that the Nazis appeared in Germany in the 1920's...

    May likely to be out for three games 

    “He’s probably likely to miss the next three games - Essendon, Sydney and St Kilda,” Misson told Melbourne Media.

    “He’s had some good improvement in the backend of this week which we’ve been encouraged by, but it’s about setting him up for a good year.”

    Pretty crappy start if you ask me

    And as most of those people know the Nazi party sprang from absolutely nowhere and had no interest in the themes of a lot of his music or his political and antisemitic writings on music.  Not total lunacy I'm afraid.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
