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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
