Since it's not the preseason anymore I thought I would start a general thread for Training Times and other training information. If you do attend a training session please start a new thread for those observations.

Have we trained ???


Pics on the club site, but only two pics have a ball in them  😀

Good photos for the Pink Lady Game.

have a look at the one with Petty. Oliver and fritta      All look really comfortable and happy.  Does not look like there is any undercurrent going around the club.

Oliver in particular looks           happy

They trained at Gosch’s on Sunday morning and at Casey on Wednesday. They’re scheduled to train at Gosch’s tomorrow morning (captain’s run) but as is always the case, that’s subject to change.

Open training at Gosch’s  tomorrow:

Included in “Food vendors” but not named, is the Demon Army BBQ. Please come visit our tent and avail yourselves of the sheer deliciousness that is a sausage lovingly cooked then gently laid upon a warm bed of onion (optional) on a slice of fresh bread aka a snag in bread. 😃

Dammit, I arrive in Melbourne on Tuesday night...  It's a 30% chance I'll make the game, but I'm hoping to at least make the banner prep session with the Demon Army!

I’d save you a snag in bread, DP, but I can’t guarantee its deliciousness after four days in my jacket pocket.

See you at banner! 🤗

Rogue apostrophe 😱


Not expecting a big turn out today but we love surprises, especially in the form of lotsa hungry people.

SEE YOU AT GOSCH’S!!!

Alternatively, such a meal might ensure I'll stay in Melbourne for longer than planned... but definitely not achieve visiting the game 😂

Scheduled training at Gosch’s today was cancelled. I was told this on Saturday night but forgot to post it. My apologies to any DL-ers who made the unnecessary trip. 😢

They changed today’s session to an indoor one, not at AAMI, at another venue the name of which escapes me.

 I was told there’s no open training this week (in Melbourne) and as yet no info on a captain’s run on Saturday in Perth, although I’m pretty sure there’ll be one.

Just a little heads up: the captain’s run always goes ahead and thus far has always commenced at the published time.

But Mondays and/or Tuesdays at Gosch’s are sometimes cancelled at the last minute or the start times are changed.

Best to contact the club beforehand. Or don’t and end up watching a couple of dogs running around the oval or the Victory players training on the adjacent oval.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
