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. 
    Hashtag who needs Bunnings?

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
