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!

*might be a bit obscure for the younger members of DS*

Cameron Clayton was a good ruck rover for us back in the day.

I used to deliver his mail in hawthorn: he was a copper.

Fair to say ‘Leb’ was at the back of the line when they were handing out nicknames

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

Oops.

Guess I was (as usual?!) being too clever by half. It wasn't a comment on your post, Moon; I was inviting @Roger Mellie to do an imaginary fun piece like his contribution on page 3!

Apologies again for this misunderstanding 😔

Ruck rover - what a quaint old fashioned term.

...brought into being, so legend has it, by 'our' very own RDB.

An early contribution - of his many - to our great game.

I learned to hate dogs when I was a postie; especially shepherds of the Germanic variety. in late 2019 our daughter 'made' us acquire a 'Family Dog', a Swiss White Shepherd. They are the most beautiful dogs in de whirl...

Funny thing is DubDee that in one of his interviews he acknowledged that he is being called The Duke. So it’s getting around.!!

I think you'll find Webber that crook is a legitimate medical term. I'm surprised you don't know this, given your profession.

Are you referring to a few quacks selling snake oil, aka “supplements”, to gullible ex AFL coaches, who crashed and burned like too many Lancaster and Flying Fortresses?

Personally 3 or 4 just as good might be enough.  Go Dee’s 

I remember being pretty happy the night Frittata kicked 6 though I wasn’t able to see him do it.  Maybe a repeat, Bailey, please.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.  Charles Dickens Tale of Two Cities

Dicko could well have been describing a typical season on Demonland  (and MFCSS)

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

🙋‍♀️ I’m right here, you know.


JK. 😁 I started this thread because there was nobody else reporting from Gosch’s. I make a point each time of prefacing a training report with variations of ‘I couldn’t do a training report to save my [censored] life.’ I’m not the cause of the angst. No, the angst stems from a poster who whinged about the lack of an insightful report, and worse still, the goon who applauded it. And now some old bloke I don’t even know is whining about four pages of ‘outrage,’ yep outrage that wouldn’t have happened HAD THE WHINGER NOT WHINGED AND HIS GOON NOT APPLAUDED IT.

Geez Louise. What a shemozzle. A fiasco. A debacle. Call it what you will, but ima do the exact same thing next week if for no other reason than to get under the skin of the old bloke, the whinger, and his goon. 🥳

For the record, I was there today (from Perth no less), so my experience in doing training reports is even sketchier than WCW! 

was there nice and early and watched 30 odd minutes of Melksham and salo go one on one. 

even to my uneducated eye, Jake must be pretty close, seemed to be going at full speed (salo not so much) and was moving well and kicking them nicely.

The training sessions itself seemed pretty casual, goal kicking practice looked pretty relaxed. Chin seems a great fella who is often supportive of others efforts.

some of the midfield drills looked pretty clean, though one suspects everything looks easier at training. 

everyone seemed in high spirits, and the boys were good natured when my kids chased them down after for some photos and signatures.

much love to Maysie (whom my wife and daughter were quite giddy over), Rick, Maxt, tmac, chin, Caleb and kozzie, and special shout out to Marty Hore who was an absolute champ!

all the best tomorrow boys

I heard that, it was during the SEN interview with Dwayne, and I was surprised because everyone at the Club calls him Leb, including the coaches. He told me no one calls him The Duke. Maybe deep down he’d prefer The Duke. 🤷‍♀️

Well ya kept this quiet! Where were you 11 hours ago? I could’ve used your help when I was floundering. We could’ve avoided “four pages of outrage” to use the words of MoonFace or Moonboot or whatever his name is.

Kidding, of course. It’s great your kids had such a fun time getting autographs and pics. Enjoy the rest of your visit to Melbourne and especially a win tomorrow night! ❤️💙

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.
