I read in a tweet from the club that the players aren’t training at Gosch’s this morning. Anyone know their whereabouts?

    Which tweet? 

    None of the last few tweets mention a Friday session or lack there of. 

     The training times link however lists Monday as the next open session. 

     It’s possible that there will be more and more “closed” sessions as the season gets closer. Whether closed means closed on an open public field or closed as in off site from prying eyes is anyone’s guess.

    A bloke I follow tweeted the club to see if they were training at Gosch’s today. They said there was no training at Gosch’s. I’ll see what I can find out.

    Just had confirmation. They are at Casey today.

    Plenty happening at the tennis door the next two weeks and with no trains on two lines and trams on strike at times over the next two weeks Casey is probably the better option.

    If supporters turned up to the closed session at Casey today would they be asked to leave?

    You mean someone will turn up?

    I bet there will be a few closed Casey session between now and Round 1. 

    After postponed training Re smoke.   Today in Gippsland is much better, cleaner air,  so I imagine Casey would also be better than previous days.

    I wasn’t suggesting that they would train at Casey for better air quality. I was presuming that they might be training at Casey to keep away from prying eyes.

    You make it sound like Casey is almost as far away as Gippsland. In fact it's much much further away. It's literally the end of the Earth.

    Yeah, but missed training sessions need to be caught back up on,  or they would have just said cancelled.   Casey would have cleaner air more-so than Gosch's, most days.

    And the secret sessions, as you mention.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
