The Melbourne Football Club has gone bush to a magnificent part of Central Victoria. 

The boys were photographed today at various locations around Yea - at Sacred Heart Primary School and at Yea High School.

Tomorrow, it’s off to Mansfield for Open Training at the Mansfield Recreation Reserve (9am - 10am) followed by a Player Signing Session (10am - 10.15am).

    The main focus of this morning's training was transition speed. Ball movement was the main focus. There was very little contested work except for a one-on-one marking drill and a two-man ball contest.

    Player 1 would mark the ball and immediately look left and right to handball to player 2 running by. Player 2 would then kick 20-30m, either laterally or straight ahead, to player 3. The kicking and handball skills were outstanding given the speed the players were travelling and the slippery conditions of the ground. Chocco took this drill and was quiet for the whole duration—a give-away that he was most pleased. Having said this, the players were not yet fatigued, as it was in the first half hour of training.

    Next, there was a lot of running around the centre square, then running between 50m mark to 50m mark. Standouts were Sharp and Brown. Clarry and Tracc at the back. Aiden J in the middle and not out of place.

    Last major exercise was a transition drill from one end of the ground to the other with players at high speed connecting with handball and kicking. While it was performed at a high level, it was obvious the players were more fatigued and targets were missed. Not many mind you.

    Player watch:

    Jefferson - is a very confident man now and looks imposing. Didn't put a foot wrong in the drills.

    Fullerton - impressed with his ground ball skills.

    McAdam - on the rowing machine. Not sure whether he is injured or is just underdone still.

    Fritsch - running laps. appears to be quad related.

    Rivers - no sign of him.

    Langford - similar height to JVR. We are going to love him. 

    Mentha - struggling with fitness which is understandable. Does have some size about him.

    Kentfield - foot skills a bit iffy.

    Johnson - does everything pretty well without being exceptional. He is pretty fit.

    Clarry - certainly does not look like an athlete, but great to see him out there and happy.

    Lever, Spargo, Lindsay, Campbell - rehab.

    Finished training with the team signing autographs and having photos taken with over 100 kids. They were off then to Bright.

    Kossie looks to have changed shape, and that's good. I hope they are working on endurance running with him. Good start.

    Yes, they were. That said, Tracc's an interesting one.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
