Of course though I'm sure if you asked the players they would prefer to train across the road from the G instead of in the middle of nowhere at least once or twice a week.

I used to attend training at Gosch's during the year. Particularly during pre season. Have I missed it? Yes. But wether we get back there now or November does not worry me.

    I suspect the Captain prefers Casey. In fact, anyone who lives on the Mornington Peninsula may feel that way. It would be a significantly shorter trip for them than travelling to Gosch's.

    Training at Gosch's with a couple of Demon supporter mates followed by a boozy counter lunch.

    Always a good day!

    When is the next one Bbo?

    Had a wander around Gosch's this morning, nobody there.

    My guess is, friday morning captains run!

    Why? Casey is fine!

    Casey is great OD.

    Just want to be back in the precinct though and see them lighting it up on an occasional drive past Gosch's during the week 🙂

    The oval has been raised by a little less than 1/2 a meter. 

    There is a slight camber, with the peak in the middle.

    A camera is up on the net post at both goals.

    Plenty of flood lights on 4 poles.

    Beautiful looking surface.

     No trees missing

     

    Lever is out there, as is Weids, Tomlinson, Bedford 

    Exercises seem to be about getting them thinking

    They are making plenty of noise

    Looks like they're doing the captains run?

    A running commentary on the session would be appreciated thanks Kevy... 😁

    There into the lines.

    Mids working on no look kicks from the clearance, then the connection from back to forward. Going 3/4 pace

    Forwards working off the marking bag, and the back 6 doing some lead up and outs.

     

    Now its some competitive sims, all out there, white, yellow, orange and red. Coaches included. No tackling. 

    The sims broke into a smaller group and got a bit more serious, only for 5 mins, still no tackling

     

    Goal kicking now. Push ups for misses, for the entire group

     

    Our number 50, has done nothing other than walk around. Bit of a worry.

    Had a talk to Buddy the MFC assistant. 

    Tells me they love the surface as do the women 

     

    Beautiful morning, storm is training and Victory are just setting up.

     

    The boys are up and about

    All over now, short and sweet.

     

    The not picked group are out there now.

    Looks like Joel is in the main group.

    Had a look today. Brown/Weid/Fritsch/Melksham and Jackson in a forward group to begin, marking on jumping bag, leading/goal kicking. Petty/May/Lever/Tomlinson/Rivers/Hibberd in defensive group. Lever mostly used as designated kicker during drills

    Rest of side were doing stoppage/ ball movement work at this stage

    Team then moved into match sim, notably Brown stood watching from the side, seems to be some issue

    Only omission from the main group in the 26 was Dunstan, who ran out with the secondary group afterwards.

    Petracca/Fritsch trying to get a lot of set shots in

    Clarry in a glove and handballing with the left

    I dropped by briefly and couldn’t sight Fritsch, so good to hear he was out there!

    Didn't have his number on, and wore a beanie, so he was a little hard to spot at a glance

    Fritter must've had a big beanie on to hold in that do!

    Thanks Kev and others who are providing training reports. 

    I fully expect some outrage somewhere that we're not tackling at training, though!

    I think because of the short week and it being the captains run, they went easier.

    Probably also protecting Oliver, and as a guess Tracc.

    Tracc was seriously practising his set shots. Most were on target, with a beautiful flight.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
