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.

    I'll give this post an 81/2.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
