There strange belief that training is somehow designed or done with any fan or supporter in mind is so baffling to me. Your favourite band don't give you daily updates when writing and recording new music, they don't stream live recording sessions and rehearsals. The rehearsing and filming of the movies and tv shows you watch aren't made readily available to the public. Training time is for the players and the club. Keen eyes choosing to wander by and observe is entirely their prerogative, but there seems to be a real loss of the purpose of training and that it's not designed for public consumption or sharing. It's a time for professionals to hone their craft and simulate situations they may face in games etc. If it needs to be moved at the last minute as its deemed that's the best course of action to help win games, then that has to be ok. There should be no expectations from supporters that training is aimed at or particularly takes them into consideration. Training galleries have been consistent and uploaded almost immediately twice a week for almost the entirety of pre season. Digital channels have utilized short, sharp, tiktok style clips which is what those most engaged with technology currently know and expect. I know summer is long, and everyone's aching for footy, but the things people find to complain about are getting very very petty. The club's media stuff is fine. It's better than some clubs, worse than others, but this idea that it's the worst in the league is laughable.

The demons media is abysmal..: how difficult is it to do an interview with the coaches or management??? How difficult is it to do an interview with most of the playing list? Part of the role of a football club is in promotion. You are selling memberships. I’m not expecting a stream of the full training session but publish something a bit more detailed than a 4 sec short film

I'm definitely not going to say we are the best, but are far from the worst.

We get photo galleries pretty much every training session and a lot of short clips and stories on Insta.

I agree it would be good to see some more video clips. 

I assume they probably have someone very new in the role, so they may be learning on the job so will give the benefit of the doubt.

Agree, I think too many are basing their thoughts of the website alone.

The socials: Facebook, Instagram, Snap Chat, Twitter and Tic Tok have regular content on it.  And weather people like it or not, this is the future (and very much current) way of posting information.

Fact is we are looking to be top 4, and they will only show what they want to show.  Whilst I would love to see internal trial footage, I'm happy for them to hold the cards close to their chest at this point of pre-season.

Agree.  And there is also an excellent photo of the back of Mr Eds head.

Been poor for many years now, Ben Gibson tried hard, but, I feel was not given the support he should have endured….

I think he did a good enough job. But you're right, the lack of support around him was minimal unfortunately.

Agree, a very good job under difficult circumstances - with both Men’s and women’s as well as Gus and Gawny…will be heavily missed especially during season

Agree. 

The season hasn't even started and I already feel that we're feeling the affects of his departure. 

Still no sign of Fritta in the recent pics and flicks?

Does anyone know if any sessions are happening at Gosch's Wednesday or Thursday? (I know the practice game is Friday but unable to attend most likely).

I'm in Melbourne for a few days so would love to see the boys in person, the first time since the Grand Final :)

Training is at Gosch’s tomorrow at 9:30am.

But of course that’s subject to change.

It’s a shame you can’t make it to the practice match on Friday, but there’s the Family Day on Saturday if you’re still in Melbourne!

Not only can you see the boys live, but you can meet them and get autographs, watch BBB’s head transformation, and the highlight of the day… you can indulge in the delicious fare the Demon Army will have on offer. Who doesn’t love a sausage in bread of a Saturday morning?! And you think you’ve had the best cakes ever at some point in your life?! Think again! Our cakes (the cupcakes in particular) are next level delicious. We’ll also be selling merch, so… jump on it!!!

#ShamelessPlugMuch? 😁

Top effort WCW keep up the great work.!!!

He's a gem, did the best with what he had to work with. Will do well in his next endeavour.

Where is Goodwin?

Is he still our coach. LOL

I havent heard from him since about Nov draft.

Given his frank discussions after the 2021 GF about experiencing burnout at times during his coaching career, good chance the club and himself are keeping his media and public roles to an absolute minimum during the off-season allowing him to focus on the players and coaching.

We aren’t asking for a mini series on his life. Is it too much to ask for a 5 minute interview? 


Goodwin knows that talk is cheap I think we will see him after the practice matches and we are leading into the real season. I know that I cringe whenever I see other coaches being interviewed during pre-season it feels scripted I would rather hear from Williams and Line coaches or the players. But that’s just me. Lol.!!!

Geeze I can't wait for the real stuff to start, no more bickering about training being moved and the club didn't inform anyone, training base arguments or AGM politics it will just get back to straight forward selections arguments, game day disagreements and bitching about the umpires 🤭😜🤣

No posting on MFC websites of any training photos today.

Was there anything on the social pages?

I would guess they have had a couple of days off, so as to freshen up before they get ready for the Big Show.

Chances are they will train down at Gosch's Wednesday 8th, 9.30am. Nothing has been posted on the website yet.

KV I think that Hunter mentioned that he has a couple of days off and was heading to King Island to play golf?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
