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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
