Methinks No. 31 is referring to Eddie Everywhere, not our Ed. Speaking of our Ed, he’s perfectly entitled to attend his sister’s wedding o/s, especially when players miss a game for the birth of their child. 

Was a reference to Ed Curnow (Charlie's older brother), when the Blues were in their mid season slump last year Ed hosted a night for the senior players at his farm near Torquay. Aparently it involved some frank conversations and a midnight jump into his dam for a swim. After that Carlton went on a 9 game winning streak and deep into September from 15th spot on the ladder.

Maybe the Dees also need a short retreat for a reset ... 🤔

    Reckon there's been a dusting off of a round table and a good Powwow a happening somewhere.

    There's no way SG would leave that result on the table and festering.  Some honest open discussions / reviews had today me thinks.

    Expect to see a number of changes this week.  That was an unacceptable performance.

    I’d forgotten about that. And it came after six or seven consecutive losses, right?
    Maybe a midnight jump into a dam IS in order, providing everyone can swim that is. Got enough injuries without a drowning or two depleting us further. 😁

    There were about 16 MFC AfLW training.

    Some first drills involved capture of ribbon. They moved the ball with the emphasis on forward structure. Goal kicking, then 5 minutes of play each way. They bibbed up. Hore in control, setting standards. Coach Stinnear matched up to Taylor, teaching her about the body work and positioning needed as a defender. Ivey was amazing, great talent, good forward craft and has the ability to hit goals. Purcell went through some physio test, then joined the team for the sims. Powerful movements and skills. Mithin was full of leadership qualities and looking fit and strong, Lampard and Bannan showing skills and experience. Goldrick ready to go. Fitzsimon quick mover, Zanker clean hands and getting some goals off, 1 step. The standards were very good, they trained quite extensively.

    Turner was down with a trainer. Successfully ran a few laps at pace, was in footy boots, seemed to have ticked a box.

    He refuses to wear one, much to his parents’ and girlfriend’s chagrin. I think it’s coz it makes him gag 🤷‍♀️ 

    I reckon it’s because it poses potential hair ramifications

    Thanks Kev greatly appreciated great that our AFLW Team is back on the park and training so well. Looks like our AFL Team have gone to ground somewhere other than Gosh’s or Casey Fields. Nothing on the MFC site, hope they are all fit and well for our match against Saints.!!

    Where did we actually train this week . Did the team get secreted away to some commando camp to get the mindset corrected ?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
