I won’t be able to report on training today since I’m chained to the Demon Army tent from now until an hour after it finishes. I won’t see a single boot lace let alone any players. Probs won’t matter anyways since today’s session is more S&Gs than a captain’s run.

Hopefully another DL-er or two will be here to report

COME INDULGE IN OUR FINE FARE!

Added incentive: freebies! Harvest Snap chips, YoPRO and more!

    OK don’t feel bad if you’re not here enjoying a snag in bread coz we are FLAT OUT. Despite the freezing cold weather and a loss on the weekend there’s hundreds of people here: Dees fans are made of tough stuff.

    Players are about to come out and the excited little Dees are a beautiful sight to behold.

    The pleasing thing from trading is that Melksham was doing full training and was moving well.

    That's great news.

    Perhaps a return to Casey this week for limited minutes, full VFL game the weekend after and then a return for the Freo game??

    Sounds promising. I am enjoying this season, not our best but a great opportunity to win game at a time, sneak into the eight and win a final or two. Feels more like seasons of old. It will be touch and go but I hope to enjoy each game.

    Salem and Bowser did some training, but were mainly in rehab group. Jack Viney was in rehab group as well. Petty was in rehab group, but did run several laps of the oval, and was moving well. There is still 6 days to game, which may be needed for some of this group.

    Hey Ditcha, I’m not any good at guessing crowd numbers but I asked a property steward and a couple of randoms and they said there was about 2000 fans there. Would you agree?

    Yes, I would agree that there was about 2000 fans. It was great to see on a cold day.

    I can confirm it is, as I try to work from home with 2 crazies asking me "what are we doing today??"

    2,000 is an amazing turn out

    Apologies if someone has already mentioned it, but was training at Gosch's Paddock?

    Yes.

    Just got home from Gosch's, thanks to all the Dees Army volunteers - my 2 monsters had a great time.

    Youngest kept trying to keep up with Petty while he was running laps.

    Was good to watch the training session, some of the end to end drills really exposed how poor some of our field kicking is.  Kolt had some howlers but knew it and looks the type to work on it.

    I didn't realise how good Jeffersons wing spand is.  Unbelievable.  He could tie his laces standing up.

    Had a brief chat with him and he reckons he isn't too far off.  Not sure if that's just his thoughts or the clubs, but positive to hear the enthusiasm.

    Had a chat with Jed Adams too, suggested he move into the midfield and he liked that.  We agreed he'd win the Brownlow if it happened ;)

    Lovely to meet you at the snag tent. Snags were delicious 😋

    I was very impressed with the calibre of the young men who obliged my grandson’s requests for autographs and photos. Caleb Windsor was absolutely gobsmacked that my grandson had his number on the back of his jumper

    i was also impressed with the bbq sausage team. Btw was it WCW who was accepting the payments for the aforementioned delicacies?

    Melksham was training unhindered so I’d expect he’d be playing for Casey this weekend.

    Form your observations is Petty any chance of getting up this weekend?

    As maligned as he's been this year, he's turned a bit of a corner the last 2 weeks.

    Very hard to say based on what I saw today aside from him being able to outrun a very energetic 9 year old

    D Rev was that Jed Adams or Judd McVee.😁😁

    Completely off-topic but can I say that I love the Harvest Snap pea mascot at games. The mascot race at the Saints game was absolutely hilarious. I want that costume to wear to parties.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
