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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
