PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 8th December 2023


picket fence

Recommended Posts

Don’t know where else to put this. Here’s as good a place as anywhere.

At Gosch’s right now for the Jimmy Family Fun Walk. The rain has kept many away (hashtag weak as [censored] 😁). Snags in bread and drinks at no cost, still gonna have a truckload of leftovers. My chooks will be thrilled: a month of nothing but snags and bread.  But look who did turn up to do the walk…

Rainy day Dees

Everyone’s here except for Chin, *Petts and Kolt.

*or is he here? I spoke to Jed and I still can’t be sure it wasn’t Petts. 🙃

PS girls a no-show. Probs all busy getting hair and makeup and spray tans for tonight’s B&F.

So is this training report glowing because Picket Fence was in a good mood, or is Picket Fence in a good mood because of the training?

That is a great turnout by the Dees players WCW shame it is such a soggy day out today for you all.

Saddest turnout ever. 😭 Not exaggerating, there was more players than regular folks. And by regular folks I mean MFC staff (and a couple of Board members). The players didn’t eat so we were left with heaps of leftovers. We wanted to minimise waste as much as possible so we tucked in. Today I discovered something about myself… I can eat six sausages in bread and still walk upright. So there’s that 😃

Chandler has a family issue in SA.

Salem they're going to progressively load because he had a huge off-season conditioning wise. They've told him to taper it back. 

Hopefully the young fella is ok.

Saw Salo this morning. He said he copped a broken nose at training the other day. That probs isn’t a reason to ease off on training but it wouldn’t be pleasant 😭

The Club only found out a fortnight ago that we’d be involved. Initially it was registered walkers only and it wasn’t really widely advertised because there was a cap on the number of walkers. Last night they decided it was now open to all who wanted to do the walk. Clearly not many knew about it, hence the poor attendance.

Essendon had a training session this morning at their home ground and there was a huge turnout of their supporters despite the rain.

 

Of course they’re there, that’s how they get their annual wash. 😜

I didn’t know it was the first one, T. For sure next year it’ll be bigger. 😊 Although it doesn’t help that it’s in mid-December when people are busy doing Xmas things.

Second that !...WCW you are now hall of fame stuff😇

Seriously picket? She obviously has you all fooled. She’s a deranged fanboy (fan girl?) who gets her jollies from hanging around young athletic men who happen to wear red and blue. All this making banners, cooking sausages and happy snapshots with her “boys” is just a front. I’m actually scared about what she might do next. I am beginning to believe that we might not be seeing Chin again. I think she might have him locked away in her basement. Yeah, she’s not fooling me.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
