Might be a silly question, but seeing as Goschs is a public park, what's stopping him from going for a run there accidentally at the same time as our training sessions?

Insurance for one.  He won't be covered by the AFL's health and indemnity insurance until he's officially allowed to train in December.  That means any injury he sustains if he tries to train with the club prior to that is on Medicare.  I don't doubt that the club has already discussed his fitness program with him for the interim, but he can't do any official work with us until he's on the books.

My god that is true DC. Had a little interruption to things and have not had a single malt in 10 weeks. Banana consumption is down as well.

I'd imagine even a smallish AFL club could cover any medical bill arising from training out of its own funds.  Surely he just needs to be given written instructions on what training to do elsewhere, memorise it, and then borrow the EFC shredder.

He's only just recently had surgery again so would think he wouldn't be doing much training now even if he could anyway.

There is likeable logic in this.

My cheque will be in return mail.

 

Will definitely be interesting to see what they have him doing his first day of training with the club. Good to hear he's got a positive attitude, one step at a time.

12 steps at a time maybe!


Harley’s in town. Currently sitting across from him in the corporate boxes at the basketball. He’s sitting in between May and Jetta.

Waters all round for those interested.

Hope that puts to bed the rumour that Bennell and May don’t get on.

Can definitely put that to bed. When not looking at their phones, the two of them have been chatting and laughing the whole game.

Had not heard that, I'm aware May and Martin don't get on but not May and Bennell

Yeah I wasn’t aware either but can confirm they are getting along like a house on fire.

I'm pretty sure Redleg has got them mixed up here. 

I think someone may have mentioned here that Bennell is staying with May for a few weeks before he starts training with us. On his first day here he was hanging out with May.

There have been a few Insta stories with May and Bennell hanging out. Pretty sure they are pretty good mates

Yes I have. That is my second mix up today.

I guess I shouldn’t be drinking so much on the cruise I am on.

Good to see we've graduated from training the house down, to straight up burning them down.

Further to the point, what’s stopping any of US going and training with our favourite football team?

Drinking seems legit. But you probably shouldn't be Demonlanding so much if you're on a cruise.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
