    Looks like they're down at Casey this morning based on an MFC Facebook post

    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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
