-Goody not there

-They’re doing a strategies training drill. Max hasn’t kicked and is slow
-Max marked and kicked left foot small pass
-Training with energy and loud speaking 
-Sestan running boundary

    Is he a chance to miss this week?

    Was getting treatment during the Freo game and looked completely out of sorts by his standards.

    Big thanks WCW & Sis greatly appreciated. Wonder what is happening with Jed Adams? Hope Rick isn’t to bad and that Goody comes good soon.

    Is she the same one who got a blister, playing twister, when her friend kissed her, which really p-sed her?

    Apparently Goody pretty sick ? 

    Yep, it started when he watched the replay of the first half against Freo.

    Symptoms - nausea, loss of hope, dizziness, mood swings

    Any other news from training?

    Just what’s in the OP. Without that there’d be nothing since my buddy was the only spectator - @picket fence has clearly pulled up stumps on track-watching - and she’s not even on Demonland. She takes notes for her (real, ie. biological) sister who lives in QLD and I nag her to send them to me. 

    You’re welcome 😉 

     

    Oh, there was one other thing: she said that early in the session the media were asked to leave, and it was then that the serious training began.

    That way you never lose. Amirite?

     

     I actually play Twister every Thursday night, except it’s officially called banner-making. Lots of bending and stretching just like a massive game of Twister.

    Except unlike your good self, B-dog, we wear clothes. But there are rules: no shoes or bare feet, only socks (Demons socks are optional but we all wear them coz nuffies). No dresses or skirts, pants or shorts only coz aforementioned bending and stretching.

    The remedy - giving the Giants a good ol’ fashioned hiding. ❤️💙

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
