    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
