No, I didn’t make the seven-hour round trip to Casey Fields, but my sister from another mister who lives close to Cranbourne went to watch today’s session. These are her notes…


Up and about. Serious session 

 Very loud. More talking/yelling than ever.

37 13 1 24 31 3 22 6 2 17 4 15 32 20 42 35 41 3 30 10 39 36 in attendance.

Intense keepings-off handball

Others doing jack in the pack (one kicking to a pack of six).

Milky out there.

Bowser limping off - but now back on.

Seems to be only the number 1 team out there. 23 players for a game.

Count down for kicks- only got 3 seconds to offload by FOOT

Milky playing

No Pup no AMW no Woey

The vfl boys weren’t there- actually the car park was full so maybe they were there but the 1sts needed the ground -vfl- boys might have been doing weights.

I don’t remember seeing Viney out there

Love Kolt - he has TEAM written all over him

 

And that’s all she wrote folks 😁

    Good that they keep working on their forward craft!

    No Viney no Salo?

    She doesn’t remember seeing Jack. But it’s difficult at Casey since you’re viewing from afar (from behind a fence) and Richo chose not to open the gate today.

    Re Salo, I left out one of her notes…

    Ps Salo trained and no Lachie Hunter

    And yesterday he was training in sandals or berkenshires or whatever you call them.

    Clearly an issue there but I'm sure he'll be there on Friday.

    Birkenstocks 😂

    And yeah, one footy boot, one Birkenstock. He assured me it’s very minor soreness and he’ll definitely be right for Friday. As I’ve said before though, the senior players are guarded in what they tell a fan. Sometimes they straight up lie, which is fine and totes understandable. The kids, however… they’ve yet to learn. They spill their guts. You don’t even need to ask any questions. You just need to say “Hi (insert wet behind the ears greenhorn’s name)! How are you?” and they sing like a canary. 🤣

    No 11 in those numbers…Max absent? 
    Salo and Pup numbers are there. 

    Max was there. She can be forgiven for leaving someone out, surely, and why not the Top Dog? 😅

    Salo she included as he was definitely there and was training well. She didn’t see Pup but has mentioned that he’s in a pic in the gallery.

    Viney may have a tenderfoot and Oliver may need a new hand, but I hope none of the players has a greenhorn.

    Maybe Max was going incognito.   Very easy for him to hide.  🙄

    Viney showing his age. The younger/cool kids would wear crocs covered in Jibbitz rather than Birkenstocks.

    Google are reporting a massive spike in online searches for "What are Jibbitz?".

    Is that how you use to pick the lads  up or still do?

    Yeah nah, my picking up lads days are over. 😃 That’s the beauty of being older than these boys. No one ever thinks I’m hitting on them. 😂They are relaxed and very candid. They’re comfortable talking about anything and everything. I’m like a mum to them. The other day as I walked towards Kolt he held his arms out (for a hug) and I said, “Here’s my boy.” This is exactly how I greet my own sons.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
