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

    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!”

    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 😂😂

    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. 🤣

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
