Are fans allowed to watch training in Perth. I would love a report or two. How are we going to fill next week? At this rate it will be a long 10 day wait.

    Both teams are training at the Eagles training ground which according to Adam Simpson is impossible to “close off” so training will be open to anyone who can go. Not me alas !!

    Meanwhile, spotted on a scooter heading west on the Nullarbor is someone who looks a lot like this...

    According to the following website it will take approximately 211 hours or nearly 9 days without breaks to scooter from Melbourne to Perth. 

    He better leave now to make it for the game.

    It’s a bold strategy, I’m happy for them to continue with a practice match but would still really hope the players are told to take it easy on tackles, bumps, and spoils (looking at you Jack!). I would also hope that it isn’t going to be full length, give them enough of a run to feel fit and ready but don’t tire them out. 

    Really wish we didn’t have this bye.

    Ta.

    Grammatically, it a funny turn of phrase to say the Demons 'insist they have a plan to be mentally and physically ready' (a line Tim Watson repeats word for word in the clip)

    Insist? 

    Is someone challenging them on their plan to be mentally and physically ready, or suggesting they don't have one?   

    I wonder if the dogs will also 'insist' they have a plan to be ready.

    We'll have played 1 competitive game in 4 weeks prior to playing the Granny. that puts us at a disadvantage. If Burgo and the brains trust reckon a full throttle practice game is needed to keep everyone primed and in proper nick then so be it.

    They are also training up at Joondalup HBF arena yesterday, so I say they re splitting the venues including going to Optus when allowed.

    Lathlain has two ovals, the old home of the Perth Demons is fenced off so can be closed off, the exterior MCG size oval is the one you can’t close.

    Yesterdays session footage is from Arena Joondalup

    you could equally say 3 games in 4 weeks - 28/8, 10/9, 25/9  = 28 days = 4 weeks

    Under the old final 4 system the side that won the 2nd semi only played 2 games in 4weeks. Pretty sure that team won the majority of grand finals

    There are two primary species of snakes encountered in the Perth metro area. These are Dugites and Tiger Snakes. Both of these species are DANGEROUSLY VENOMOUS, which means envenomation is potentially fatal without medical assistance.

    Great ground Lathlain Park.  The WCE have a Cafe and Balcony area that over looks the oval.  If it is open it would be a great spot to watch training from.

    Craig Kelly (the pollie, not the ex-footballer) probably has a cure for that.

    If Jack goes at anywhere near 100%, any player who doesn't match it is asking to be injured.

    Perhaps our new Perth based members could spare a couple of hours to get along and report in?

    Basically nuts, as with most media "analysis". It seems having no game on the weekends before and after preliminary final is supposed to be a disadvantage. So we plan to have a serious practice match a week beforehand (ie right where a match would normally be), and suddenly we are 'risking injury'? Bah!  A pox on all their houses!

    I don't think that's fair. I will say I miss his input. Given some of this thread, I don't think I am the only one. Hope he is going well and returns when Gosch's is open to the public again.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
