    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!

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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
