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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
