They have invited 10 year members down to Gosch's. Nothing on website training pages.

Apparently by email, crowd is building, no players yet, probably 11 am start.

I'll report when I get back home.

Addit:11.10 players still not out.

    Dang it. I forgot about this. Looking forward to your report Kev.

    Rehab group update would be appreciated as well as whether Max is back training in full.

    Rehab, Verral, K.Turner, Viney, and Salem.

    All the rest in full training.

    Gawn, Hibbo, J. Smith, Farris-White, Lever, BBB.

    Sorry have to leave.

    Hopefully someone else here can give a full report.

    Didn't stick around for training but was there for a few words from Kate Roffey and Alan Richardson, left after the squad had been warming up for 20 mins or so.

    According to Richardson, at this stage it looks like Gawn will be playing this week (was very close last week) but they'll give him a few sessions this week and won't make the call until closer to game day.

    Richardson sounded less positive about Lever's chances for this week, wasn't a definitive 'no' but basically suggested he's not in Gawn's position of being over the ankle concerns he's got. Sounds like he might need another week. (Keen to hear what training he does).

    Salem still 4 weeks away at least.

    Brown was close last week but just been experiencing back soreness. Looked pretty good to me in the warmups (Keen to also hear what training he does).

    Roffey thanked all members and pushed for all those in attendance to get their Melbourne supporting non-member friends and acquaintances to sign up too, so get on board Demonlanders if you haven't already!

    Only one speaker, so it was a bit difficult to hear clearly.

    Roffey, said, preaching to the converted and that they want 75000 members.

    By the way Gawny trained in Adelaide he had pencilled Anzac Eve in.

    Just hope he has a rest against Norf.

    Just left what must have been the lowest intensity training I think I have been to anywhere anytime. Probably get more serious later in the week. Gawn was leading the field in run throughs from end to end. But didn't take part in much else from what I saw. Lever looked fine to me but it wasn't exactly a tough session. Brown looked 100% as did most others. In Summary don't take much from today. After being at the hanger on Sunday and the paddock today it is  like champagne and river water. Thank god it wasn't raining.

    Was Sparrow out there? Some reports of a possible delayed concussion after the Merrett tackle.

    Look at the bright side, at least no Essendon supporters around you 😁

    The previous trainings for the start of the week have that I have been to, have all been a kinda stretch and run through, without much else. They last about 40 minutes. 

    Today's, the players appeared low key, not much joy, exuberance or talking. Which was unusual, but understandable given the weekends game.

    Alan Richardson had a Q&A, plenty of questions about what happened in Adelaide. Couldn't hear his response.

    First time at training since finals 1987.

    It wasnt much harder than D Grade Ammo's in the mid 70's, missing the compulsory 2 laps jogging and kick to kick before start.

    Seemed a good sized crowd there.

    I didnt notice that much noise on the field.  Just appeared to be a professional group going about their business.

    Spargo was not there that I could see.

    The players are great with the fans, especially the kids.  I was too embarrased to ask for a selfie but hope greatness will rub off on me during the work week.

    The highlight for me was Hunter kicking a couple of dropkick goals from near the boundary.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
