I love this. It’s only a small thing, but the Demon by proxy thing is such a great way of creating human connectedness out of a cruddy situation, in a time we really need it. Great stuff.

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

And Fairy Nuff, too!

Did you mate find out anymore re: Gus and the gastro? 

Was told by Pert & Richo who addressed the crowd that it was a corky and precautionary. Take what you want from that I guess. 

Goody & Yze ate the same dodgy food. Isolating from rest of group as a precaution.

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

Nothing to add to that report. Very light session for the cameras.  Unfortunately not signing or any contact allowed with supporters, despite them being out in the community. typical AFL.

It was Tommo's first session of joining in with the starter soccer game at training and looked like he was moving really well in his set drills. 

Pert also spoke to the crows, said they had sold 10,000 of the road to the GF (waiting on mine to arrive) and cleared Melbourne of blue t-shirts. 

My friend should be on AFL tonight and possibly the cover of The West tomorrow, after being interviewed by both.

Maybe, although I suspect it's more likely a requirement from the WA Chief Health Officer. Either way, I'm quite comfortable with our players staying away from any potential infection sites. Unfortunately, that includes staying away from fans.

10k?! Woof! That’s a cool 500k, minus cost of goods sold, printed cheap tee (please let them be American Apparel or AS colour) $20 max. Does that make up for one of our most games?

Does anyone know the details of tomorrow praccy game? Location and time?

Promise I’ll provide a detailed report if someone is able to provide the above intel. 

I doubt it will be an open session and as much as I'd love a report I'd prefer the Doggies not get a sniff.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
