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!

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. 

I would like to thank WalkingCivalWar as the food from the BBQ was beautiful.

You’re so welcome! I hope till b!ttch was nice and courteous to you 😉 

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

Although not a good day to be on BBQ duty!  Woolies run needed!  :-)

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

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: 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.

    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?
