You mean Kev has been hijacking closed training sessions ?

Gate crashing is more like it.

The DL's needed something and was happy to oblige, plus "was just walking by".

Disappointed in the club only indicating one, perhaps it is because they feel they have to organise stuff for the patrons.

They really could just post their schedule and leave the other stuff, such as the "coffee" and entertainment alone. We really would purely like to observe the club at "it", and to feel more part of the team.

Otherwise we end up discussing "coffee".

    Maybe they have match sims/training/rest days  etc on different schedules if we play in a semi or go straight thru to a prelim.

    Just guessing.

    From there it goes to the quality of the powder and how good the coffee is after a black run.

    Yeah nah, no burnt sausages. I won’t be on cooking detail, so it’s all good. 😎

    A poster in another thread suggested he had info that Petracca may have injured a calf at today's training, did you notice that at all Saty ?

    Four days left to prepare for the fifth. Geez, it would be good to spank the Swans. So many times this past week I have heard several astute commentators (ok, so there are only a few) refer quite openly to '...the juggernaut that is Melbourne...' relative to all other finalists. I hope they are correct. It is going to be a bewdy - keep the faith, folks.

    Anyone know how Salem is going?

    Fairly important bloke to have up and going especially in finals. His physicality and one-on-one ability can be underrated...

    Yeah that is a a bit disappointing. Would have been good to know as I'm not likely to be able to make any sessions during the week. Hopefully if we get the week off there will be some kind of hit out on the weekend off.

    The training on the 25th would have been the best one to watch.

    Then the Sunday run for those who have work work responsibilities,  would have been useful. 

    So we get a captains run, hopefully we can gee them up, and give them a sense to some parts of what they will be playing for, grass roots and heart.

    Hoping to hear more from them for the next build ups, otherwise I'll be guessing and gate crashing.

    Just peered across at Gosch's Paddock from the train (unfortunately have to work) and could see some trucks + set up happening.  Have fun those who can make it!  Report back please!

    Just a reminder: open training this morning at Gosch’s. We’re setting up and there’s already a lot people here. The atmosphere is great! Excited Dees diehards - red and blue everywhere!!!

    And don’t forget to buy a snag in bread at the ridiculously cheap price of $2.50. Or a snag in bread and can of soft drink for $4.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
