    Squad is out,  first on is Daisy.

    Lots of noise then the whistle brings them to the line.

    Last in is Katy Hore.

    Duffy only helping, Colvin one on one kicking, and Fitzsimons rehabbing. Fitz has now joined the squad. Perhaps just a test.

    Finished the warm ups with a competitive relay.

    They want to win! 

    They split in half. One half play a two team frisbee game and the others kicking drills, then they swap.

    They are now playing a half field game, one team is the coaches and assistance in the bibs.

    Seems mainly about finding a connection with the forwards.

    Into two squads again. This time playing more back-line transition through the centre to a forwad. While the other one drills starting on the wing.

    Roffey and a few administrators also in attendance.

    They finished up with a chat and some social games, like paper/scissors/rock, in the centre of Gosch's Boisterous, happy and in it together. 

    Oops not quite finished,  they go into their lines (forward, back, mids) and do more drills. Perhaps not exact  with lines as they are a bit mixed.

    Shelley Heath was not with the main squad.

    Hoping she is fine. Was moving well when doing some one on one with Stinear.

    The impression I got from tonight's training was how supportive they are of each other, their competitive nature, with a strong will to win, even the little stuff.

    I liked how Libby Birch and Tayla Harris compete and then discuss skills with each other.

    Karen Paxman, with her warrior bandage works hard and trains with enthusiasm and ego.

    Daisy does so much talking and giving to others.

    Hanks, Purcell and Mithen run very hard, always backing up and finding their way to the next contest.

    Bannan does well below her kness and creates turnovers with pressure, always hunting the ball.

    Zanker works hard up and down the field, making space and causing her defender to struggle as she leads back into the goal kicking area. 

    Goldy and Mackin have a very professional approach, intention to get better.  

     After most had left the field, they drilled Fitzsimons roving from the ruck of Lauren at stoppage to snap goals.

     I also noticed Brown working one on one with a coach. She has a beautiful kick, and hands (taking a mark).

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
