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: 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.
