Who’s the fella at Trac’s feet? Stick him on the opposite wing to Langers………………he looks like he’d love chasing the ball

    My guess is for Wednesday, I'll drop by, and hope a morning run is on at Gosch's. 

    Nothing on the training page from the MFC site.

    Are you sure it's him?

    He was kicking towards the left wing apparently so we can be pretty sure

    Any further updates? I’m thinking of going and want to take the kids. Don’t think I can handle turning up to an empty Gosch’s paddock and then having to deal with 3 kids under 8

    Bit of a gamble, with having to disappoint the kids.

    I will post tomorrow morning just before 9.30am if they are out on Gosch's. 

    They could be at Casey or may delay their start of the 2023 campaign till Friday or next week.

    The channel 7 report stated they'll return to training next week

    No team training!

    One demon out on Gosch's at the moment.

    Mr.May, doing sprints with intervals.

    Melbourne Storm are in full force, on the oval next to AAMI.

    Brayshaw has just arrived.

    Do you live at Gosch’s paddock?

    Under a tree by any chance?

    Or just within binocular distance?

    You are a star on your training reports, greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again Kev. Only Bayley and Christian were training. They were fantastic with my boys having a kick to kick with them. Had a nice chat about the round ball game with Christian who is a mad Arsenal fan.

    I reckon it was Salem, because today's Petracca's birthday and I'd reckon he's out celebrating.

    Perhaps they are out at Casey, or the volunteer was wrong.

    I'll have a wonder down to Gosch's, Monday.

    Obviously they train over the summer break, each player has an extensive list of training targets they must complete

    Gee , they get alot of free time for professionals. 2 months post MFC season and 3 weeks for christmas.

    Nice.

     

    Reckon it’s a good thing that they have plenty of time off between seasons. Reckon a lot of the guys spent most of last off-season fully focussed on the responsibility and burden of being reigning premiers.

    Come back fresh physically, but mentally too. Our intensity in 2022 was nowhere near the sustained levels that it was in 2021.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
