    What about the unknown player he buried into the turf?

    That would be today's mystery.  (Maybe, Andy, you could run a little book on the side and have a prize for the member who guesses the name of the poor soul buried by the Trac...)

    I am not very good at reporting the drills, find it boring

    Suffice to say most of the drills were similar to those described on Monday

    They did do yet another weird one where they rolled on the ground and another player jumped over them , then laid on tbe ground etc etc  will post a pic, used to do this as part of battle training in the Army 40 years ago

    Oliver annoys me, minding his own business waiting to join in drill, a loose ball bounces behind him,  one handed flicks it over his head, catches and handballs to a player running past all in one motion

    Had a good chat to a guy leaning on the fence, seemed very knowledgeable, it was Jeff Gieschen

    Stand out again Petracca

    There is definite desire to bring more physicality to our game, hence all the solid contact drills

    There is also an emphasis on burst speed, in  the handball driill they are being encouraged to run and also chase of course

    Early days but Trac, Salem, Oliver and Brayshaw ssemed to have increased their leg speed, maybe told to

    Jordon is with the mids if they break up into recognisable grouos

    So I want to take my son this Friday.

    Reading a few reports looks like I should get there around 9 am ? He is only four so I don't want to be hanging around for over an hour of nothing is happening. How long does training usually run for?

    Don’t take the following as gospel.

    The club lists training as starting at 10:30am.

     Our trackwatchers are reporting training starting at 9 and sometimes going for 3 hours. 

     Not sure why the club is saying 10:30am.

    When he was appointed coach at Richmond the slogan was unleash the giesch 

    Ah!  That makes sense!  (Gotta admit my "I'll bite" line was a tad clever retort...!)

    Barrie is almost 77 years old.  Fair effort to be still turning up for work, even in your own business.

    What would you expect from the greatest HFF of all time?!!

    Jordon is with the mids if they break up into recognizable groups

    Also in the handball drill , they must hit the target person on the full, and also the player with ball, must not be able to be touched by a defender.If any of these happens, the ball is turned over to the other side.

    The object of the drill is to handball a goal, and the teams are evenly paired.

    This drill and others are so much more intense than LY.

    Even the match simulation was even numbers per team, and again a mistake meant a side losing the ball

    in another area, others were been showed how to tackle better, by starting lower down when tacking.

    It's good to watch isn't it

    If we can begin to translate this to match day

    Asked the players, they find it really hard work but they are enjoying it

    Interesting. I recall in recent times we were running drills with attackers outnumbering the defence?

    This more intense drilling after 3-4 months should have a Positive affect in games

    It is also a way of getting our players fit

    You can see the players are puffing at the end of the drill

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
