Looks like a captains run at Gosch's. 

They have two food/coffee trucks and the people are mingling, as we wait for the players to arrive.

    Kev, I understand security have been alerted owing to the presence of one fanatical, but rather deranged supporter. As a word of warning, do not at any time stand between this supporter and Langers - you are likely to get mauled.

    Good on you, Kev. I've just read the team selection thread which raises the possibility that Pickett may miss due to a knee concern. You know what we need you to look for...

    Kossie is with them.

    As is, Tomlinson, Laurie, JVR and Harmes.

    Drills seemed to be focusing on, shimmy, quick direction changes and handballing.

    Match sims (opponents being the coaches), was about backline structure and working the intercept, then using short kicks to spread, create overlap and to get the ball deep to the forwards. 

    I thought Jackson will be used more as a forward given the line squads.

    Forwards working on getting front and centre.

    Good atmosphere, felt like plenty of seriousness mixed with joviality. Their voice was loud and determined. 

    BBB didn't have strapping on and did not participate in the long runs. He practiced plenty of goal kicking with supervision.

    An old coach, Macca visited them,  long talks with Goody and a few of the players were happy to see him. 

    The informal goal kicking had too many trying the miracle kick, (inside out banana) from the boundary. I guess they had 'fun'.

    Was at training, as were a lot of the player sponsors. 
     

    I know it’s only training but everything seemed very low effort, not much concentration and intensity. 
     

    JVR has one of the worst kicking techniques I’ve seen looks so stiff, not sure I watched him kick one. Tracc’s kicking for goal was very good as was melksham.

    Pretty normal stuff then the day before the game. I’d be concerned if it was a high intensity training session.

    Yeah understand that, just didn’t seem serious enough in my opinion given the position we are in. Lots of players moving really slow and sore.

    Binman hoping harmes comes in.

     

    Me too. i reckon we need to really think about using Harmes in the tagging role for the rest of the year. the interesting thing is when he's tagging his output generally is very very similar to when he's not, so why not shut out a good player?

    We're carrying a lot of that this year, especially compared to our run last year, it seems.

    Yes, I believe it builds ‘resilience’ according to some nonsense that got regurgitated on here.

    Describes many of us supporters as well I'm afraid. Post bye season has been a leveller to say the least

    That was a big Burgess motto and it worked great last year, but feels like maybe this year the injuries/soreness have been worse and maybe it's not had the same effect.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
