TRAINING: Monday 15th August 2022

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    Copped a couple of heavy knocks on Sunday.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
