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 m

Fritta and Viney update. I was at Gosch's, Saturday morning, beautiful down there. A group of under 15's playing a half field game. 8 Blokes have a training drill. Storm having a captain's r

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 family around.

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

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.

I got an email from the club inviting me. Thank you for registering for our 10+ year members exclusive training viewing.

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.

First I heard about an invite to training for long term members was just now. And I have 25 plus,   Maybe it was selective !

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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
