Jack Viney out on Gosch's with Chandler, Turner, Sestan, Kentfield and K.Brown. Small runs and kick to kick. Then headed off to AAMI. Probably to the meeting about the Caulfield announcement

    You were at Gosch's by chance? Surely you are not on watch already Kev :)

    Isn't it just so relaxing  training reports for next year in September,  They will not get a better example than Viney.

    Fantastic stuff, pity our draft lads cannot start with him now as well

    How does training like reported here fit in with the mandatory break of 7 weeks (or whatever it is)?

    Is this like the Monty Python Argument Clinic where John Cleese's character claims he was just arguing in his spare time?

    Yes.  It is not official club training.

    One of the advantages of not making the top eight (and I don’t advocate we should make this a practice) is that the club will have more time to properly prepare for the season to follow.

    Official pre season training still doesn’t start for several weeks.

    An advantage Petracca was big on in his Club interview just posted, albeit framed a bit looking-at-the-upside-ly.

    Can't be underestimated. Max mentioned in an interview that he feels like he hasn't had a real break for 4 years. No accident either that our flag came after a season where we missed finals.

    They all need to stay in good condition. Yesterday I was at my gym working out next to an incredibly tall kid that looked like a young Sam Darcy.

    Then I realised it was Sam, and that I’m old.

    surprised the media didn't run with "Petracca and Oliver noticeably didn't join Jack Viney out on Gosch's"

    27th September 

    A few MFC runners hitting the AIA track, in casual wear.

    Some central running 150m and hard boundary running, 600 to 1K.

    Viney, TMac, Rivers, Sestan, Adams, Turner, McVee, Howes, running in groups with a timed program.

    Oliver not grouped, running with a trainer.

    Thanks Kev - great to hear that there is a mix of younger and older players already on the track at what I presume is an unofficial session? 

    Would love Sestan to take his fitness to another level this off season as he clearly has the skills to make it

    Just as it is no coincidence that 3 of the last 4 premiers have failed to reach the finals yet following year. The AFL is extending the season to absurd lengths and of course the grand finalists start their preseason late, so it is inevitably unsatisfactory.

    Sestan with shirt off has that contoured muscle shape, working hard on endurance and speed.

    What a fantastic turnaround from him given where he was 12 months ago.

    Viney and T Mac as always setting the example

    They both deserve a break with their weary bodies 

    Unbelievable dedication

     

    ps. good to have you back Kev

    What was Olivers intensity of training like. I know he finished his season off with a variety of injuries including a PCL...was he running ok?

    Surely, it's recreational from which they will learn more about the game than if Goodwin was there ... ?

    He’s going to shock the world in the GF sprint (finish midfield, Darcy Wilson should win it easily from Waddle)

    Oliver was half a step behind the trainer, some gasping for air, working hard. Appeared a touch underdone, like he hadn't had a run for awhile.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
