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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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.
