Coffee truck is down here  again.

Just waiting for the players.

Watching the storm go through their paces, they're switched on!

Light duties include: Lever, Spargo, Viney and BBB.

Yesterday's players aren't on the track, Bedford is training as is Rosman, but not Chandler.

They are mainly in runners, and after some jogging around the hats they played a soccer game.

Moniz-wakefield and Tmac in rehab doing plenty of kicking. 

There is no strapping on Kossie knee.

    You're an absolute champion Kev, thanks for all your work - already excited to read this.

    Would love to know what part of the ground Bowey trains in today if we do any match sim or group training.

    Short and sweet again. Plenty of banter and fun.

    There were some executive types who had an introduction to the group before they begun.

    The group appeared relaxed and happy.

    This thread has become a great start to the week! No strapping on Kozzie's knee a massive plus!

    At the moment,

    Mon 11.30 am and  a captains run at 9.30 am the day before game, both at Gosch's. 

    Then a full training midweek down at Casey.

    None of the players from the Sunday VFL game were at training.

    I noticed that after I read more posts but you did specify that Bowey wasn't there so I replied to it.

    Thanks Kev.  My understanding is they're flying up there Thirsday yes?  That would mean a full training run at Casey tomorrow?

    That would be my guess as well.

    If it was today then those from the VFL side couldn't go hard.

    Next week, it could be anyone's guess given the bye, as to which days. Though assume the Monday run will be on.

    Could also be a practice game on the following weekend. 

    Hoping the club keeps us informed.

    @kev martin how is the coffee truck performing?  Hit the spot?

    Looked like it did, but not for me (I don't like something for nothing), nor did I get an invite.

    Fridays was for supporters who sponsor the players. They also had a food truck and were served bagels/rolls with filling.

    Mondays was for the executives, possibly from the New Balance company, the players and staff.

    Do you like your kicks for free?

    You know what I mean.

    Free kicks are good if they are deserved, frustrating if inconsistent.

    Worst are the soft ones when given near goal, for both teams. They can ruin the game.

    We trained at Casey yesterday going by photos on the club site. Main session I'm guessing and we usually hear from a Goody presser, but nothing. Will we have our Captain's run at the Gabba tomorrow after we fly out or before at Gosch's?

    Sorry Kev, I was making a silly joke - a play on words from that stupid dire straits song combiing your comment you don't like something for nothing  and radomly working in free kicks

    As in 'money for nothing and your kicks for free'

    Safe to say, quite a stretch.

    But I agree with you about free kicks btw.

    Given the context was about the coffee cart, I'm a bit disappointed you didn't include expresso love in your post somewhere.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
