    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.

    have fun!

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
