    Patrons were told that contact with the players would be limited to non-existent and that players wouldn't be signing, taking selfies or having a chat. Some players at the end were skirting the boundary giving high fives. I was concerned that this would expose players to COVID but now I'm afraid I may have been exposed to Gastro. Fingers crossed.

    Maybe “fingers washed” then fingers crossed after that 😁

    Nice to see JVR train with the senior group.  I don't think he'll be picked for the finals,  but he's got a good build for a 1st year lad.  

    They interviewed Richo near the goals and asked about tmac, was quick to also mention JVR was a good option for them to have if he is called upon ... was in the best again last week ... he might be ahead given limited prep for tmac

    The boys all moved well despite knee bandages on Gus, Kozzie and Trent.

    No knee bandages on BBB, Max or Salo, which is really good news.

    Here's a few pics from the session.

    ADMIN EDIT:

    Pics have been move to this posts.

    Joel Smith Training with the defenders.

    I wonder if they are considering Joel as the med sub as he's able to play back or forward and could, at a pinch and with his pace and agility, slot in on a wing.

    Pictures incoming? Please... 

    Had every intention El D, but not only did I not take pics, I didn’t clap eyes on a single player. Not one! Not even from a distance. Snag duty came first. 😁

    Hopefully, your selfless sacrifice will be rewarded with a victory tomorrow night.

    JVR, J. Smith, Salem, Dunstan, Bedford in the squad.

    Williams was again the most vocal out there, making sure they were taking the session seriously. 

    The warm up, then grouped into the four corners, short kicks to coach with some run and handball receive. Another drill finishing with hitting the yellow target. They split into their line squads and did their stuff. Mids practising clearances, forwards working the marking bag and backs shuffling the ball around.

    In the 3/4 paced, no cotact sims against the coaches (they started with possession, Yze, bog), we had plenty of structure, voice, spread and then finding a corridor off the backline, and finishing with a goal.

    Finished the session with some goal kicking.

    No Hibbs. 

    Rehab had Woewodin and Moniz-wakefield,  Moniz-wakefield later joined the seconds in their run.

    I couldn't see a coffee truck, there were, activities for the kids and merchandise they were giving away, small flags, plastic cups and key rings with pictures of players on them. Just saw the text from WCW, apparently sausages.

    Great crowd, I thought the players were a bit overwhelmed, would have preferred to have a few more spectators at their previous sessions so as to make it feel normal. Could work the other as well, and get them fired up, though I prefer the stability and controlling the environment, plus, gives us a bit more of a connection.

    I have more really good shots, but the site won't let me upload any more because it would exceed the "max total size of 302.47 kb". Is there any way to get around this?

    I have the same problem, sometimes under 1kb. If you edit and resize maybe they may fit. At the moment my upload capacity is 786 B.

    Amazes me that some can upload HD photos. Can those who do it, share, how?

    I messaged the mods and they said nothing could be done.

    It is why I can't send photos of training. Even after editing and resizing there is often not enough upload bytes available.

    Hey Kev, perhaps you should delete  old pics you’ve posted and that are no longer needed. You just go to your account, click on ‘my attachments’ and select the pics you don’t need, and delete.

    Use https://imgur.com/ and post the links here.

    Does that mean, download the app, put the files on that app, then what?

    Use "other media", and insert into post from that url, or go to add files from that app.

    Can you give me more instructions, please .

    WCW said to clear the attachments in my account, that worked. No need to use imgur now. @demonlad

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
