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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
