Never thought i would miss footy so much.

I am even happy to get a completely biased, "rose coloured glasses" training report at the moment.

Still doubt we will play more than a few games this year, if any.

    So, are we calling it an interrupted pre-season in case we do return?

    Mr Andrews said the state of emergency was now due to expire at midnight on May 11. It had been due to expire on April 13.

    So, May 12th at best, for the next training report, lads.

    Hope you’re all ok

    MFC is a workplace and can continue while social distancing is practiced.

    Read recently that one of the big EPL clubs are practising in groups of four passing etc. They have separate fields and separate change rooms for each group. Of course these clubs have mega facilities that allow such activity.

    I wonder which of the AFL clubs will be the first to try this type of training. As Gosch's paddock is an open field I cannot see it working there but Casey which has two adjoining ovals is a possibility.

    Is there any truth in the rumour the the AFL are considering rule changes.? To get the game going.?

     

    That they might think that due to OH&S,    they have to Ban tackling,  pushing,  shoving,  jumping on another's back,  bumping,  kissing - Jako,  and definitely NO touching.!  NO RUCKMEN.

    You can run with ball,  dribble along ground,  kick ball in the air,  hit ball with head,  handpass ball,  catch ball,  and shepherd from 1.5Mtrs.   ?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
