 I believe the last FiFA game at AAMI is tomorrow.

Could be a a chance that the MFC teams are back into AAMI and on Gosch's soon.

Maybe a captain's run on Saturday morning!

Sorry, I thought it was a Sunday game, game on Saturday night!

Perhaps a captain's run tomorrow, Friday 9.30 am at Gosch's, or The Junction, or Xavier.

Gosch's, would be best for me!

    As I recall the Beaumaris oval was designated to be exactly MCG dimensions.  Some association with MCC / Vic cricket.  I would love them to train there - nice and close to home.

    My kid played there last week, nice ground

    So they actually did do a Junction session this week? Thought it might have been a rumour! 

    Would have loved to wing on down being in the area. For old times sake.

    No-one on Gosch's this morning. 

    It is a rugby ground at the moment.

    I wonder where they are.

    Trying to find “the forward connection”?

    Just realised that they play, Sunday. 

    Good chance they will out on Gosch's tomorrow (Tuesday) at around 11.30 am, for a recovery and review session.

    Then Thursday 9.30 am at Casey, for the main training.

    Maybe a Captain's run, on Saturday morning at Gosch's, 9.30 am.

    You're welcome.

    Helps me get out for those morning walks, via the Yarra and the Botanical. I enjoy that, and the storms young players were having some fullish sims.

    Beautiful day down here in Melbourne. 

     

    I thought, maybe the club has changed up its training routine, as it prepares for a finals assault.

    I will have a sqizz at Gosch's again, Thursday morning.

    They were all over the place, Xavier, Junction and Casey.

    FIFA games are no longer played at AAMI. Last one was on the 8th, I think. I expect/assume that their facilities at AAMI are now available to use.

    And again this highlights our "BASKET CASE" of a search for a permanent home base!

    I reckon we should invite @gOLLy to attend training and give us his insights.

    We could call his report the Good Golly Gosch Goings-on.

    Speculation of training program.

    From the FB page with some photos of being them at Casey for a run today, I would guess that they train again, Saturday morning, Monday morning and the Captain's run Wednesday, at Gosch's for the advertised open training. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times

    AFL Training Sessions

    Open Training
    Wednesday 6 September
    9:00am - 10:30am
    Includes retail, membership, food trucks, face-painting, sponsor giveaways.

    Perhaps at Gosch's Saturday (start 9.00 or 9.30 am), before they head to Boxhill to support the Casey team, (they may do it at Casey though).

    Monday could be their main training, I expect it to be a closed session, out at Casey.

    I saw numerous photos on the club website - but nothing showing Frittata or a moon boot.

    Given that the Pies trained on the "G" today, I expect us to get a run on it tomorrow (Saturday) and not Gosch's.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
