True ,  but it certainly didnt work for the Eagles. LOL .Some of their senior players literally had rolls of fat under those tight sleevless tops they wear when they were walking up the race.

I would change the AFL dress code. All the players are running around half naked. Ffs put some clothes on.

Players in the 1890's looked much better.

    Obviously too much Christmas pudding. Skin fold tests to go ballistic next week.

    The volunteer told me that Friday is for training at Casey.

    So I assume the schedule for preseason training is: Monday and Wednesday at Gosch's 9.30am and Friday's at Casey.

    Interesting that in his interview Tmac pointed out his senior player highlight so far is Melksham, saying he is very fit and firing to go. 

    Would like to see Melky have a good year

    Melksham was one of the reasons we had such a good year in 2018. Damn good player when in form. If Spargo Melk & Sparrow have good years along with the rest of MFC we're a big shot for the flag.

    Its all there in place, were not asking for much. No miracles req.

    I think Melksham's form fell because his home life changed with the birth of his children and thus his sleep patterns suffered.

    Hi Dees friends, I'm a Canberra fan coming to Melbourne for the next week. Wondering where I can find out when Dees training sessions are on (& where)? Many thanks in advance, go Red Legs 💙❤

    The best advice is to check the link below (at the time of writing it has not been updated) or phone the club. 

    At the moment there is no clear pattern of which days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) are at Gosch’s or Casey. Due to the tennis it might be more likely that they are training at Casey but then again they trained at Gosch’s yesterday.

    Whilst that link shows training times  for 18 Jan. the MFC website no longer has a link to future training sessions. The website seems to have changed this week with the drop-down info on training times no longer shown. I hope I'm wrong but the website has clearly changed this week.

    It's there, it's under the "Teams" tab.

    I just briefly spoke to Clayton Oliver at the tennis, I'm spewing I didn't ask wear tomorrow's training session is. I'm keen to get along if it's a Gosch's as I'm staying in the city. Damn I missed my opportunity, sorry guys.

    I also have a training question. 

    For the first time in a few years I am coming back to Australia to visit family shortly. I will not, however be in Melbourne. I will be staying just north of Brisbane and wondered if the Mighty, recent premiership winning Dees are spending a week at Maroochydore. If they are I will get along to a training session and try my hand at a rreport.

    Any one got any idea?

    Think those camps have been canned.

    A magnificent day weather wise for training...

    A few snakes basking on the warm tracks perhaps

    On a separate note one wonders how long it will be until some bright spark at the AFL (we can make money out of anything) comes up with a plan for charging fees to attend training. Going to "spring training" in baseball is big business.

    Williams said they have fixed cameras and the drone at Casey.  Do they have the same at Gosh's

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
