Captain’s run - or as I like to call it - sch!ttts n giggles - is at Gosch’s this morning. Well, I hope it is since I’m almost there.

If there’s nobody else from DL here and therefore no training report, ima just take a lot of pics and vids so as I don’t have to stress about who’s here and who’s in rehab etc. I trust that’ll suffice 😃

 

All good. They’re setting up now. And I’m equipped with my two essentials…

Well done WCW considering how cold and wet it is. Much appreciated and due to some hand surgery I am limited car wise.  Many can live vicariously at track watch through your eyes. 

I hope you know what the selected team is before it is announced. I hope they don't sign a non-disclosure agreement.

 

Given Casey plays this arvo, everyone training this morning will be in the team plus an emergency or 2. Just let us know who is or isn’t there from last weeks 23 please. 


How come when you play on a Monday there seems to be no timeframe for naming a team? Given the games' tomorrow I thought they would have had to announce a team by late yesterday... 

Did Richo kick WCW out of Gosch’s? 
 

They seemed happy and relaxed. Choco (firmly) advising Disco and Petty on their marking. Was that Kynan Brown with a fresh haircut? 👀

Noticeable absentee: Luker 🤔 

 

Not the best vids since it’s hard to hold an umbrella and film at the same time. Hopefully I captured everyone who was there (figuratively, not literally 🙃).

Players, again

Players, yet again

You guessed it… 

Apologies in advance if I’ve posted one of these twice, double the apologies if thrice. 🤭

Pfft I’d like to see him try. I’d have Richo laid out cold before he could yell out “Security!”

Kynan’s haircut is soooo two weeks ago 🙄

While I was taking this pic Salo said, “There she is.” Idk if that’s a good or a bad thing 😅

Was fritta there and was anyone holding an umbrella for him so he doesn't get his hair wet?

He wore a Big Freeze beanie the whole time. Even I had trouble recognising him 😂

This is the best training report we've had on Demonland.  I can pretend I'm there while remaining cosy in my bed in Sydney!

Also, thanks for foregoing the dryness and warmth of your own home to get to Gosch's!

Was JVR training? I cant spot him in the vids? I can see Howes and Laurie anyone else who did not play last week have a run?

I can’t feel my fingers and my toes are well on their way to following suit. I’m staring down the barrel of hypothermia but don’t worry about me, DP. You just pull your doona over your shoulder and enjoy having sensation in your extremities 👍🏽

Thank you for your sacrifice!!  But you've just dodged one painful end, so please try and dodge hypothermia! Maybe ask Clarry for some tips on how to regain feeling in your fingers?

JvR definitely trained. He looked perfectly fine, not hampered in any way at all. I’d be shocked if he isn’t in the side for tomorrow

Clarrie clearly had other things on his mind. I asked him how are you and he said, “starving!” 😁

Speaking of a painful end, I just sat in a puddle on a bench. Not drops of water… an actual puddle. And now my ‘end’ is threatening to join the Let’s Deprive Her Of All Feeling list. The things one does for one’s Club 😑

Maybe you can borrow a hoodie from one of the boys... shouldn't do much for your 'end' but may reignite some feeling elsewhere 😂😂

Bloody hell it looks cold! I’m at the airport about to fly down, I haven’t packed for the conditions…..

Oh they’d be toasty warm inside AAMI Park right now, I’d say. Training wrapped up ages ago. Meanwhile I just got on the wrong train at Flinders Street thus prolonging my numbness. Was distracted by texting with another DL-er who [censored]-canned my track watching skills (or lack thereof) so I’ll tell him publicly what I told him privately… GFYS. 🤣

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
