Looks very light on. Reminds me of the warm up before a game, probably even less intense. Everyone is looking pretty relaxed (watching on Fox)

That's usually what a captain's run is day before the match.

Grand Final Open Training: 

  • Weather is going to be perfect for footy, maybe a touch windy in the first quarter but will be crisp for most of the game
  • Most of the crowd will be Dees fans (many here have jumped on board given our history)
  • Harmes looked like a kid in a candy shop, he’s super excited
  • Salem was taking it very easy with the drills
  • Langdons kicking is still pretty hit and miss
  • Chandler is a great kick and really like his craft. He didn’t miss a shot or target.
  • Tomlinson was watching on looking quite flat and I felt for him. Poor guy.
  • May was kicking from 40+ out. No worries at all with him and his back. 
  • Bowey didn’t miss a target all session. He’s building very nicely. 
  • Troy Chaplin is in a moon boot. Not sure why haha. 
  • Tracc was doing his own thing for most of it just taking set shots
  • The small forwards (Sparks, Nibbler, Harmes, Kozzi) we’re doing a lot of frontal pressure work and then hitting up Tmac, BB and Fritta
  • Backs were doing marking drills and short 15m, 45 degree chip kicks then long to Gawn
  • Lever did extras with Chocco in a quick ball throw at his head and he’d get his hands out front to mark
  • Viney did extras with Chocco too. Ground ball gets and tackles. I’m tipping him for a massive game tomorrow.

Obviously a very light session but conditions are looking excellent and I’m growing more and more confident.

Feeling for you all in VIC.  

1 more sleep. 

Let’s go Dees 🔴🔵

Talks about stiff Melksham is to not be in the team and says how well he played in rounds 16-17-18 including the draw against hawthorn.

All games Melksham didn't play 🤣

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
