I know there was training today, channel 2 news showed some . In particular. Tracca limping. Leg strapped ,  and frittata and Spargo walking laps.    Not much else

    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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
