Summary for anyone that can't watch the video:

"Nice nice nice. Goooood one. Nice [insert player name]. Nice nice. [sneaky jab at Langdon or Clarry]. Nice nice. Good skills. Nice."

You missed the best part of the video in your summary, praha.

 "Beats Gawn for contested ball, beats Langdon in contested ball, Beats clarry for contested ball".

    must say..the faux training reports are in keeping with season.

    Never thought I'd miss the training the house down versions from our usual followers.

    Tis a strange world

    In the absence of having Demonlanders on the ground I'm using these faux training report threads to document what is happening with any information we get.

    I’m tipping some of the players enjoyed being in isolation and having time away from Petracca.

    If we don't have a report from Saty, I'm not even sure that training has happened. How do we know these reports aren't made up, just like the moon landing?

    no criticism of you and much appreciated. Just missing the objectivity and detail we have become used to in comparison to the puff coverage from the club (mind you I would expect little else)

    Unfortunately I think it will be a long time, perhaps years, until the general public will be allowed to attend training sessions. All sessions will most likely be "closed" sessions even when they return to the publicly open fields at Gosch's Paddock.

    I was wondering if we were the only club whose principal training ground was not capable of being closed off from the public.

    North at Arden street sprung to mind.A long time since I've been down that way.

    The ability to close the oval is perhaps going to be a problem with any redevelopment of Gosch's paddock

    Fans will be able attend training this year.

    Outbreaks will occur but the pattern is clear in Australia (and elsewhere now) that they will be in clusters. And these clusters will all be related to people sharing indoor spaces for more than 30-60 minutes. Like offices.

    Outdoor things like attendng footy training are very low risk. 

    Once the last stages of the current restrictions are lifted in vic (likely mid july) then going to training will be fine (probably will be before then, arguably is now).

    I have little doubt we will be able to go to games before seasons end. So training won't be an issue.

    I'm pretty sure Whitten Oval is open to the public. It was part of the deal whereby the State and Federal Governments agreed to provide funding. Other parts of that deal included providing space for Victoria University, a childcare centre and removing pokies from the old grandstand.

    I still think (my opinion) the clubs (MFC in this instance)  will mark any sessions at Gosch's, even after restrictions have been lifted, as closed sessions. 

    While they can train at Casey where they can bar entrance they will continue to train there. 

    Eventually they will have to go back to Gosch's so that they can utilise the facilities at AAMI Park in tandem with footy training on Gosch's. Once this happens I still believe they will be closed sessions. 

    Unfortunately all our trackwatchers are in the high risk category. We might need to recruit some young bloods.

    It would be nice to swing by Goschs at some stage this year to have a look at the boys but according to Goody in the ‘Ask The Coach’ clip Casey without doubt will remain as the base for the remainder of the season. He says we are too restricted this season with the other clubs such as Storm and Victory at AAMI.

    From a financial point clubs and the AFL can’t have an outbreak and the season shut down again, I think you might be right  Andy.

    Melb will be at Casey all year. Sharing the facility with 3 other sporting teams will see Casey used all season.

    We might also need to undertake some welfare checks to ensure Saty, DeeSpencer, George on the Outer and all the others on whom we depend are OK.

    You're probably right - session will be closed to the public. Despite it being unnecessary. 

    An opportunity for the club to put some good video content up on the website. All they need to do is have have raw footage and it will be watched. Look at ho many views that AFL fella gets (can't recall his name).

    Perhaps i can write some fictional accounts of training. Omac might feature heavily.

    I'm not so sure about that.  The potential losses for any club if one single player comes down with the virus, could be enormous, and I'm not sure any club will want to be taking that risk by allowing supporters to attend training sessions.  And with a vaccine possibly unlikely to be available until late next year (or beyond), then we had better get used to closed training sessions. 

    At least at games, they can control how close to the grounds supporters can be (possibly only allow crowds in the second tier and up in stadiums), and stadium security can also form a barrier between players and potential supporter incursions.  There will definitely be no supporters allowed anywhere near the players race (imagine if the Toigs or Bummers started performing badly and those ferals returned to their old habit of spitting on players).

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
