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

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
