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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    Goody was there at the start but sneezed and he walked off oddly. 

    Yep, clearly an issue, the main symptom is the need to scratch you thigh with your left hand vigorously which he had been carrying recently

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
