    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.

    radar shows spitting only for a few minutes right now then clear for rest of training.

    have fun!

    The miracle goal kick I want to see is the one that goes straight.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.
