So what indoor training facilities do we have? Is it just weights, or is there an open area for footy drills? 

Indoor pool as well.

    There is an open end of the weights area, where they could practice skills

    They have treadmills, if somebody needs running

    Could be the day for educating and exercising the mind

    That could be difficult for some Saty.

    Quickly read it and fired a shot, so what, i never waited for anyone else to throw the first punch.

    As Jack Dyer said, "you retaliate first".

    It makes me wonder about the human race when you see things like this Saty. Are they so addict to exercise that they cannot understand the danger today?

    I have managed to beat my addiction to exercise.

    We have smoky conditions today, however, the health consequences of changing weather patterns and natural disasters are long-term.

    We face a new paradigm that will force all of us to think and behave differently. 

    Similar to terrorism and 9/11, our behaviour and actions will need to change. 

    Some people and organisations get it (perhaps the AFL), others don't (TA).. 

    Good decision by MFC.

    They might be in the shelter sheds having 5 or 6 darts to replicate outdoor training conditions...  Max the captain for this exercise....

    I will be very surprised if there is outdoor training today. 

    OD, what about holding the breath, underwater.?   would that work.?

    I live in North East Victoria and have been breathing nothing but smoke for the last 3 weeks, you get used to it.

    Although at one point I couldn't see the end of 50m long pig shed so I guess you wouldn't see a footy coming.

    Pity really. I was hoping to see one of those smokeys from Casey turning up.

    Probably like playing at Victoria park in the 70s

    This was Melbourne this morning on the Plume Ap which measures air purity around the world.

    Usually, it registers well below 50 and on a really fresh day, under 20. 

    The city that routinely registers the worst numbers is New Delhi - it’s measurements from this morning are in the next panel below.

    Most derailed thread. Ever.

    Just to get back on topic, it seems training was not "postponed" at all. Rather it was moved indoors. And away from Saty's prying camera, they were prepared to do some competitive work with "shirts on" versus "shirts off". 

    I'm tipping if the club announces a Gosch's paddock training day with half the team with their shirts off, there'll be a larger crowd of spectators in attendance than normal.

    FMD...

    This thread needs serious trimming.

    Round 1 cannot come quick enough.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
