That’s the worst training thread I’ve ever read but I found it rather enjoyable all the same. 

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

    I made it very clear sometime ago that I and many others require solid training reports by early afternoon. So please stop complaining about us complaining. 

    WOW Like WOW

    If you don't like the reports how about you attend training or open your wallet and PAY for someone to report as per your demands.

    Me I am happy with what ever is reported by the track watchers

    Pull your head in.

    Don't worry about Picket, be very worried about Uncle Bitters getting anywhere near you.

    What do they do at these Captain's runs, are they just a light kick, handball and a few shots for goal, more of a stretch? 

    Do the rest train just after?

    I call the Captain’s Run the S&Gs Run. It’s not a serious session. Today’s was particularly relaxed and short (barely half an hour). They pretty much played kick-to-kick for a while, practiced goal kicking for all of five minutes, and did loosely-structured handball drills. To illustrate exactly how nothing it was, one of the trainers asked Caleb why he wasn’t wearing his new boots and he said, “it’s not worth getting them dirty.”

    First training report without @kev martin and look at the angst.

    Thats the problem I see here, we have lost many track watchers and there reports because people here didn't like there reports.

    Sartay ??? used to love his reports, Kev in the same boat. If the reports are canned why would they continue.

    That’s not why Kev isn’t submitting reports. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single occurrence of someone canning his training reports, anyways.

    Yes she absolutely does, and all the time she gives back to the club and Demonland is done free of charge and in her spare time.

    This is up there with the complaint we had about the podcast. Just get on with your life if you don't like the FREE content you are being provided. 

     

    Also @WalkingCivilWar has said many many times before that reporting on the ins and outs of training and specifics is not her forte, and that she is there to provide some light hearted commentary and any inside intel she may get from the players. Last week she told us Bowser will play against Carlton, which was a scoop, and turned out to be spot on. Why people are now complaining about the content of her training reports, is beyond me.
    I love a detailed training report as much as the next person, but equally I love the insights and funny anecdotes that we get as well. There is room for both.

    Sorry I was not having a go at @WalkingCivilWar in any respect at all. I was legitimately asking because she spends so much time doing stuff for the football club and posting on training it’s incredible and I love her training reports there very funny.

    You are amazingly committed to the football team and it’s bloody awesome. And I love your training reports, keep up the great work.

    I think this is the training report when you aren't having a training report, hence a Clayton's training report.

    I liked Claytons.  Thanks WCW!

    Which is fair enough given that Captains Runs are Clayton's training sessions. 

    Not sure what some people are expecting. There's SFA training done in 5 day break weeks.  It's all about recovery.

    Hmmm, after all that, can I say, I love bringing the Demonland faithful, my training reports from Casey, and I admire ANYONE who posts similarly, no disrespect to WCW who I regard as a really passionate and invested Lander, I spose I just wanted some further insights! I also am back working part time after retiring last year( got an offer to good to refuse), and I acknowledge the efforts of any to provide training reports no matter in what context. Thanks .P.F

    All good, Ang. I didn’t think for a second you were having a go, that’s simply not you. And I do appreciate your kind sentiments. For many years I barracked for the mighty Dees alone, including attending matches on my own since I didn’t know any other Melbourne supporters. Now I’m just making up for lost time ❤️💙

    [censored] there's some easily triggered, thin-skinned people on this thread. Four pages of outraged posts!

    Can't imagine it ever being like this on a Collingwood or Geelong site.

    I believe you've dot-point-reported on training at Olympic and Kardinia parks, too, @Roger Mellie? 😉

    Re-posts here would be appreciated 😄

    Helps if you @ the right poster. Also, I was referring to their fan forum sites, not attendance at their training.

    But I guess the outraged defence fogged your reply

    Let me preempt your response and answer that yes, I have attended MFC training numerous times (but not this season) and reported on here

    Over and out

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
