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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
