    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.

    Looks like an in club easter party for players, down at Gosch's. 

    It may start at 12. Easter eggs all over half the paddock, with plenty of the players and staff's,  family around.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.

      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.
