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!

Hopefully the squad will be there!

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 🙂


Something is being set up.

Cones are going out.

Tmac doing some run throughs.

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.

  • 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?
