    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
