I ventured down a bit before 9.30am and missed the start of training.  They were doing the usual drills and some short kicking.  As reported Hunter and Jefferson were doing repeat run throughs which s

I’m down from Sydney and dropped into training with the family. It was good to meet Kev Martin and WCW for a bit of a chat.    Overall it was a solid session with plenty of intensity in the mat

It's a wet morning, ball is like soap to a few. Rehab had Jefferson and Hunter working with a trainer, ball work and fitness drills. Farris-White mainly running laps. Melksham and BBB in the shed

It’s a bit unusual isn’t it, we need to be on our toes Vs Bluebaggers don’t wNt to let them think they have our measure they have recruited well over the past few years.!!

They may have decided to train at a different location away from the prying eyes of the media.

They could still do some media/socials of what they are up to, seeing we are all a bit in shock and going quiet isn't the best way to move on.

No training at Gosch's this morning. 

Interestingly, some of the scheduled sessions ( https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times ), are later in the morning 11.45 am. Not all are captain's run.

Perhaps they are going to work a bit more on intention/purpose/review prior to hitting the paddock.

Pretty strange we've not heard anything or seen any social media posts??

Perhaps these are super secret tactical sessions.

I doubt there is anything nefarious going on.

With that being said a couple of photos wouldn't give away anything.

At they very least they should be able to give some updates as to the progress of players on the injury list.

Once again it seems as though (a) this club doesn't care about its members or (b) the club is staffed by amateurs.

Are there any food outlets or toilet facilities at Gosch’s? Want to take the little guy to training and I just know he’ll want food and definitely need the bathroom. Also are some of the players available for a happy snap and autograph?

Will the Dee's stay in Adelaide for the week between games just a thought?

In Round 3 we play Port Adelaide on Saturday night 30th March and then play Adelaide the following week in Gather Round on the Thursday night (4th April) off a 5 day break to the Crows 6 day break with a trip back from Perth.

You'd have to think we will stay in Adelaide given the short turn around. We would be crazy not to with all that traveling back and forth especially with the 5 day break in between.

Our match the next week in Round 5 is also a Thursday night (11th April) against Brisbane before we get a bye leading into a Wednesday night ANZAC eve game on 24th April.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
