    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.

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
