I went by at 9.30 am, no one there.

Good chance they had a run at 11.30.(Monday) on Gosch's, which I couldn't make.

If we win Friday, I'll give it another go and try and catch them with a report next week.

They will probably have their main session down at Casey on Wednesday morning. 

They have an open training Thursday on Gosch's, the same as last week with all the activities. (More info on the MFC website, in the "finals hub" section)

Saw some footage of training on the nightly news. I think it was on Nine. Amusingly, the reporter breathlessly told us that Spargo was still unable to talk due to his larynx injury...while the footage showed him walking laps with Fritsch AND TALKING.

Kev, any chance you could drive a few tractors onto the Casey oval and prevent any sort of serious match simulation hit out tomorrow!?

Yes same as last week from 9 to 11.

Wouldnt call it training though.  Its more for the fans and the boys to fine tune a bit i guess.  They do a little dozy doeing at goal, handball drills etc.

Nonetheless its a fun morning if Melb puts on a decent day weather wise.  Highly recommended

Would like to see them take it on up the middle effectively. They need the practice. 

Maybe just dig around the boundaries and in particular the forward pockets.

Yes to up the middle if the opportunity arises Kev but depends on who's doing the passing.

I don't think Max should be attempting those too often, especially around HB.  Inside 50 maybe a diff matter.

We need to practice taking it on, including Max.

Drag the oppo to the boundary and leave some of us by themselves in the corridors. 

Get them before they transition to the defensive structure. 

Have or create corridors, when we cause turnovers. 

Kick to leads and not regularly to the contested boundary side pack.

I'm sure they do that stuff, but recently we have not been executing it well and our main playing style has been about safety. 

We need practice and continual repetition till we get the timing and positions right, as well as seeing and assessing the risks correctly.

C’mon over to Gosch’s this morning y’all!

We’re firing up the barbie. Snag in bread only sets you back $2.50. And $4 for a snag in bread and a soft drink. Prehistoric prices!

Don’t make me take 72 sausages home to my son again. He’s still not talking to me from last week’s haul. 
Hashtag Sausages every night = Nope

It's pissing down rain at The Manor WCW. What's it like at Gosch's?

Just starting to spit a little now. But it doesn’t look as though it’ll persist. Not windy, which is good. 
Since I’m not Jane Bunn that’ll have to do.

Free or not he whinges about having sausages for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a month. Ungrateful little sh*it.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
