I've come across some info suggesting there will be an open training session at Bellerive Oval 330pm.

I haven't been able to confirm through any of the normal sources. Anyone know anything about it?

    There definitely is a Captain’s Run at Bellerive today. It’s an open session and it begins at either 3pm or 3:30pm. The North cheer squad told us this but aren’t sure about the starting time, so getting there at 3pm is probs wisest.

    Didn't make it to training, but did bump into a few Dees supporters at a wine tasting on the Derwent.  Our supporters also seemed in force at Salamanca markets this morning!  I can report on general good spirits!

    Now that's just asking for a hangover.

    Fear not, we were only popping in to buy a pinot noir after enjoying a bottle over lunch at the winery restaurant.  Extreme cheering still on the schedule for tomorrow amongst the rest of the Demon Army!

    So we did adventure around to Bellerive at 330 and watched the boys run around for about an hour. When we arrived the Nort side were just finishing up. They would have had 20 supporters vs our 400.

    It was a bit of the standard drills with emphasis on the turnover, contest and transition parts of the game. Goody was very vocal and driving a lot of the drills. At one stage he was shouting at the backs regarding their positioning and I really noticed how May is really pressing high and Lever is patrolling across the last line. I think this use to be Petty's role but Lever is the obvious choice now as he reads the play so well. In a one hour session I was pleasantly surprised about the emphasis placed on goal kicking. For those who have suggested Bowey should be used more forward I can say he is  certainly practicing that part of his game. I can see it being something we will develop and it might be a plan C at some stage that will surprise many.

    The best thing I can say about this one hour is; they looked sharp, focused and relaxed, all at the same time. That might not seem to make sense but they looked super confident and the laughter and fun they showed at the end said more to me than anything.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
