Wandered down to Gosh’s to watch the captains run, the rehabbers were out on the ground. Schache, Woewodin, Kossie (not injured), two Casey players (1, 28) and White (Casey) doing individual work.

The MFC squad then came out as one. Melksham and TMac in the squad. The vibe was low-key. It didn't help that it was cold, and the ground was wet, they didn't really start chirping until well into the drills. Seemed like they're a bit off with timing and the handling the ball. They were happy and relaxed. The morning consisted of about 5 to 6 drills.

They worked on ball movement from off halfback, and off the wing, with delivery into the leading forwards. Interestingly, they had Petty forward for a few entries.

Near the end, the centre mids were practising slowly for the centre stoppages. Grundy patting down to, Oliver, Tracc, Viney, Sparrow and JJ. The rest kicking goals (Petty included) or taking high marks (particularly JVR). Choco was also helping refine JVR's set goal kicking.

May looked fine in drills, no strapping, but did have a slight limp when walking. At the end, he did a full 30-meter sprint and had a talk to 4 support staff (physio and trainers).

After the MFC squad left, the Casey team came out. Laurie and Tomlinson were with them, I didn't see Dunstan.

Go Dees.

Was this publicised anywhere? Was planning to get down but had next to no info apart from "It could be around 10 at Gosch's"

Was about to post this in the pre game thread Kev. Looks like Gus might stay back and JJ to the guts after seeing that little exercise.

Not posted, just guess work, as they usually have a run at Gosch's the day before the gig. Start times are usually 9.30 am.


Petty taking TMAC's place up forward and Hibberd taking Petty's in defence? 🤔 

Unlikely, but Goody has flagged changes ahead of this game, so you never know...

Thanks Kev, never get to go to trainings so not familiar with the usual times etc. I'm not far so will just wander down around then next time.

Great report though, sorry to bomb it with a whinge!

Very intriguing about Petty 

May is hopefully right to go. But Tmac has to be sub.
With May just back from a calf, and JVR on debut, it’s just so risky not taking a tall in who can play ruck, forward or back. 
Whereas if we lose a mid we have a plethora of options to cover them, including Gus, Rivers and ANB.

Not worried in the slightest....

Kev, Petty up forward? this isn't another april fools gag is it?

I was thinking about putting in that Tracc and Clarry nearly came to blows.

The reality is that they share too much brotherly love. Clarry was strapping up a boot and Tracc began smothering him, what a pest, lovely moment.

Haven't been as intrigued about those moments before the bounce for a while. Really need to invest in a good set of binos. 

Thanks Kev and all posters love theses snippets of what is going on and who is or isn’t out there.!!!!

Surely if there was even a smidge of doubt over May then Tomlinson would be at the captains run today.

Go Dees.

Both Trac and May look like they are carrying an injury even when they are 100% fit. They just have a weird gait.

Thommo should still be in the side very damm stiff as he could play a few roles.

May perpetually looks like he has a lower back injury, and Petracca looks like one or both of his hips/knees are stuffed.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
