    I need too get the laundry done could you pick that up and do it.  You seem to have enough time to  do things that are important.  Both the training and the laundry are important.  
     

    thanks in anticipation

    Dragged my sad n sorry arze off the couch to come here. Really should be at home but I’m meeting my *Gosch’s girls here, didn’t wanna let ‘em down.

    *three delightful teenage girls whom I met at Gosch’s in the off-season and who are too shy to ask the players for selfies/autographs therefore need someone with more front than Myer to do it for them and that’s where I come into the picture. 😁

    Here’s my comment about training…they trained.

    That’s pretty much all I’ve got because I saw Kev there and asked him to do a training report. 😁

    I did watch a loooong session of some of the boys taking shots at goal. Two words: Chin Chandler. Nailing shots from the boundary on ridiculous angles, a joy to behold. You don’t need to watch Chin kicking for goal because as soon as it leaves his boot he knows if it’s going through in which case he’s silent. But if it’s not going through be lets loose with a very loud “OH [censored]!!!” 😂

    Back in the day we had some deelightful teenage girls in the CS wanting to meat players.  Non too shy if I remember 

    maybe these girls are grand daughters of those same girls.   Do any of them resemble old melb players ?

    I met a lovely couple from WA at Gosch’s. It’s their daughter’s eighth birthday and to celebrate they’ve come over for training today and the match tomorrow. Demonland readers but not posters. Just wanted to let you guys know it was awesome to meet you and I apologise for running off suddenly but there were players to annoy. 😝 Enjoy the match tomorrow!

    Misty feel about the morning. 

    Backs first out with Petty and TMac interacting with them.

    Suggest Hunter the sub. Woey was doing plenty of plays.

    Setting themselves with slings along the boundary connecting the backs to mids.

    From the mid-stoppages to central corridor, the spread out the back.

    Kossie is in his own zone.

    All good MD. Hard to take a large screen TV on the train anyways.

    Unrelated: Soz about leaving your undies drawer in a mess. And you really should open a bank account… it’s much safer.

    I wouldn’t mention it since it seems some people believe it shouldn’t have happened. ☹️

    Everyone left when the players finished up but I stayed and watched the Casey boys for a bit. Not because I’m a dedicated fan but because my Gosch’s girls are crushing hard on Kolt and wanted to stay and watch him. I thought a Rooey fix would’ve been enough for them, but clearly not. Oh, to be 17 again.

    Have the leaves finished falling yet at GP?

    Many thanks

    PS Out of interest does the oval suffer from dog droppings or is someone on pre training pooper scooper duty

    Oh if only you had been around when I was going to training and was 17 and too shy to talk to the players.  I spent hours not talking to Sean Wight whilst sitting on the picket fence at the G with him after he did his knee (wish I'd talked to him, he always waved to me if he saw me thereafter, think he remains my favourite ever player, even more than Robbie).  Then we moved to the Junction Oval from the G and that was the pits.  Russell Richards and the Febey twins would give me a lift up to the city since they were driving to Seymour and the walk back to St Kilda station was unpleasant.

    These days I've got the guts go to talk to people, cos they are people, but I'm also old and married.  And in another country, which makes going to training difficult.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
