    In good news Salem and Fritsch completed the whole session.  They both moved and trained very well.

    Viney off to the side with mainly agility and lap running at a good pace.

    It was a light craft session.

    Mids/rucks doing centre bounce stoppage work.

    Inside 50 delivery was extensively practised with defenders v forwards.  There's an emphasis on either hitting up one of multiple leading targets OR taking a longer option with a deeper kick where the forward has got themself in good position behind the defender.

    There was some 3/4 ground match simulation that wasn't too intense or too long.

    I didn't notice Woewodin, but I might have missed him.

    May did not train.

    I didn’t notice any smiles on the training gallery on 27th March did anyone get to Gosh’s on Monday or intend attending todays session so we know who is in rehab. This weeks list came as a bit of a surprise as it appears Will Verral and to a lesser degree Christian Salem won’t see to much action this year.!!

    Didn't get to Gosch's Monday or today. 

    I heard on some type of media that they trained on Tuesday and intend to have the main training Thursday. Whether it is at Casey or Gosch's anyone's guess.

    Nothing on the website about open trainings.

    A light session makes sense, I think they caught 'the red eye' back from WA on Sunday night.

    Not TMac. He was interviewed after the game and asked if he was catching the red eye said no will be staying the night and getting a good night's sleep before leaving the next day 🤣

    Four players at the Easter party. 

    Lever, walking around without any limp or restrictions. 

    BBB and Viney, and then Melksham, whose kid led the rest to those chocky's. Sign him up, has competitiveness written all over him. A kid, with number 5 on his back came a close second.

    Good atmosphere, 30 kids, some admin, trainers, partners, and a table of nibbles.

    The players left fairly quickly, probably to get into the days footy preparation and routine.

    Noticed the media, who were at the Dee's training today, carried stories about us tonight.

    They won't get over to Casey at the main training (too far to travel), and will cover other clubs.

    The sports news stories about us later in the week, have used some stock video this season. A good chance they will use today's footage when/if presenting a story about us, later.

    Means we have less outside scrutiny, keep 'em (and us) guessing

    If demonlander's hear of training sessions, could you please post about it.

    I know today was about the club celebrating those with 10+ years of continual membership, but!

    School holidays and stuff, others wouldn't have interfered. 

    Given how many attended today, maybe >200, and nothing about it on this social network site, I am disappointed. 

    Did the email suggest you shouldn't inform others, or do those with the email feel special?  Good to develop division amongst the supporters. 

    Covid interfered with my sequence of membership (trapped outside of Oz). I have supported the club since I was 12, making 50 years of loyal support (though not always a member). I am sure there are plenty on here who feel the same way.

    Why not be informative?

    @Tim, @DemonWheels, @old dee, @old55, @layzie, @pitmaster, @Bimbo, @sisso, @tiers, @Demons1858, @Demonland, @Hawk the Demon.

    Does anyone have an answer to why you didn't nform this site and myself about the training today?

    At the moment, I feel taken for granted. I need support, otherwise I will not post and you can get reports from another.

    I turned up today with guess work and uncertainty. That could have been totally different, a little heads up would be appreciated.

    Its a shame you missed out 'kev'.

    We love your work and that you tirelessly turn up at Gosch's just in case there is a session.  I suspect most of DL's feel the same

    Your training reports are one of my favourite parts of DL.

    Thank you.

    The email came on April 6 along with other MFC emails.

    I missed it at first as Inbox was inundated with various other emails.

    My gut feel is it was for 10+ years 'consecutive" members only.

    If so that would be pretty sad i reckon

    I have at least 35+ years of memberships (plus all the other side gigs like sponsoring a win / raffles / merch etc) in total so far outside of barracking time of 50+

    I'd have at least 6 to 8 years of DA memberships now as well (no mention of this day in their emails either).

    No doubt others would have even more than that (non-consecutive).

    Hope this doesn't stop you from attending and reporting Kevie. 

    Your training reports are hugely appreciate from interstate supports such as myself.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
