A text exchange with my triumvirate of Gosch’s girls…

I’ve taught them well 😂

I think I just witnessed them crossing Punt road to go the servo, you’ve got more teaching to do. Learnings as Goody would say 

 

Some injury updates on our players here.

Petty having a planned 'down week' at training which will hopefully allay some fears.

They went to the shops to buy a Mars Bar to give to Kozzie, apparently it’s his favourite chocolate bar (I have no idea how they know this). They came back with slurpies and chips and forgot to buy the Mars bar. So yes, I’ve got a ways to go with them.

I’m not worried about their food choices, more so their decisions to step out, retreat, run, stop half way, run back and eventually make it across one or Melbourne’s busiest roads. Using the traffic lights would be my suggestion.

I’m on my way to Gosch’s, as are a few other DL-ers, no doubt. It’s not raining so the wussier among us will turn up 😁

I’ll leave training reports up to the others since I’ll be otherwise engaged…

For my illustrious leader and me, today is ‘Wrangle The Dads Day.’ She knits little footy jumpers and puts them on teddy bears for new dads and dads-to-be and we have four to give out today, including this little one…

🥹❤️💙

Edit: she also does the same for mums and mums-to-be. 

Update: we successfully corralled the new dads, Tommo and Maxy and the two dads-to-be, Kozzie and Nibs. All very grateful recipients, especially Nibs coz Nibs. His baby is due in 10 days!

How cool, a  Bubba Nibs and Bubba Kozzie.
 

Mama Nibs’ tracker has Baby Nibs clicking up 22.3km of inside belly turning this week, 121 sucks of the thumb and 76 kicks with 100% efficiency. 
Good work WCW.

Yesterday I was told by one of the trainers that the Casey sessions (Mon and Weds) are open. Also, the fact that the Club has bothered to announce training sessions leads one to think they must be open.

that was a really great report. Both questions and answers, Thanks for those responsible.

good that Richo was able to confirm Dland training reports so congrats for all those posters who keep us up to date or indeed ahead of the game.  

Some observations from my DA buddy who’s at Casey right now…

Maysie and Vines are training with the main group.👍🏽

Schache attack going really well up against Maxy.

Caleb Windsor will play in opening round (that’s a lock-in 😂)

Clarrie has been running all morning. Looking good but still has a ways to go.

The match sim is underway right now, after which the boys have a “HUGE running session” lined up, according to one of the training staff. (They’re gonna just luuuurve that! 😅 especially Maysie who recently told me he f*****g HATES running)

It seems it’s the ‘A’ team vs the ‘B’ team. B team actually holding their own. Caleb is in the A team. Kolt is in the B team. TMac in the A team.

BTW, where are our track-watchers this morning?

Apparently it’s a case of “Windsor… Wow. Just wow.” He and Tracc together = amazing

This is great to hear, been mixed reviews so far. Hopefully it's a sign that he's a quick learner?

Hey Kev, these Casey track-watchers aren’t as diligent as us Gosch’s track-watchers, huh? Not one report, thus far. Sheesh  😒

Do we think Schache is a genuine chance for round 1 as ruck/forward?

I don't mind it personally if he's upped his physicality, as he is super mobile.

We've all wished that at some point. His papers were largely marked when he couldn't get near it against a second string North side.

They'll get there, be nice.

Grateful for any input. 

Thanks for conveying your mates observations.

Yep I definitely saw the positive side last week. He was touted as an outside player and yet his attack on the ball was just as good as any other player. He had the added bonus of being silky smooth, quick and accurate. If there is any knock on him I couldn’t see it.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
