    According to Pert and Richo talking to the crowd Gus copped a corky 2 days ago and isn't training.

    I heard he left Monday training hobbling and someone said it could be a knee. 
    Didn’t want to say anything until the club did. 
    Phew 😮‍💨

    Gee, I hope it's not the same bug that some Geelong players are reported to have had prior to the Prelim.

    Not the best looking turf. I'm not suggesting it's dangerous, or anything like that, but I had visions of us training on immaculate grass. And are they irridescent mini-goal posts on the RHS of the picture? Quality.

    Not much to report, they’ve broken up into 3?groups and rotated through drills.

    Drills were based on transition footy, ground ball work and close congestion work. Pretty basic stuff with a focus on tomorrow being a full hit out
     
    What looked like the mids group worked on transition from corridor turnovers when they were together. Defenders in that drill worked on transition from ground ball gets and intercepts. Forwards were very much working on ground ball wins finding space and converting.

    All groups worked on one on one contests focused on breaking the initial tackle and also working your opponent off the footy.

    There was also a drill working on short kicks on the 45 and quick ball movement between the arcs and on a wing 

    All finished now, more just turning the body over. Gus is out there walking around great to see Tomo involved in warm up and he did rehab after that.

    Pert, Lever and Gus answering questions while the rest have shots on goal

    While it's not great Gus couldn't train, you couldn't have asked for a better player to have chatting to the crowd.

    On Instagram it looks like he doesn’t have any strapping on any part of his leg so I assume they’re being very precautionary.

    On another note, we don’t ever have to worry about any of our boys jumping codes to the round ball game.

    They played 2 soccer games as part of their warm up, talk about looking out of place. Good bit of fun for the group and sets a good tone for enthusiasm of nothing else

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
