Was there training on today?

I came on to ask the same question. 

Most clubs are into a regular training program which would involve three main sessions a week. I know Carlton trained today.

    They trained at Casey this morning. I wasn’t there but my buddy was, and her text message was short and sweet:

    “Went to training today and wow just wow- I have never seen them like this! It was full-on. Serious training no holding back. Only me and 2 other spectators. 
    The rehab group were on the back oval- but all were running, moving and kicking  really well as far as I could see. 
    The boys are so fit! I can’t wait to see them actually out on the ground.”

    Our players train every weekday except for Thursdays. They also train on Saturday mornings.

    … which is not conspicuous at all, but which will likely be publicised closer to the day. It will be at Casey. Starting time yet to be announced.

    Hoping to get a good turnout at open training tomorrow at Casey. 

    A great opportunity for little Dees (and not so little Dees) to get autographs/selfies with the boys. There’ll be face-painting, handball comps, a coffee van and the pièce de résistance… the Demon Army *Sausage Sizzle! A snag in bread (with or without onions) is the **breakfast of champions and it won’t cost you an arm a leg. Profits go to the purchase of new props, for example we’re gonna need giant heads for some of those young ‘uns who are qualifying for a giant head a-head of time (see what I did there 😁).

    So if you’re undecided about attending, please choose to come and get up-close and personal with our awesome players!

     

    * Capital ‘S’ in Sausage Sizzle because yes,  it’s that special.

    ** apologies to Mr Vonnegut.

    Dear Ghosty, ordinarily I would have been there, but busy cranking the waves and cranking the fish at Port Fairy, hopefully you will think of me as you turn the snags and feed the multitudes. P.F

    I’ll think of you, but not while I’m turning the snags coz I won’t be turning the snags because apparently snags burnt beyond recognition aren’t appetising I’m till-b!ttchh so I’ll think of you while I’m handing our first customer $97 in change for a snag in bread, paid with a $100 note. This happens more often than you’d think. 😭

    Enjoy cranking the waves and fish, whatever the hell that means.

    Well that's a damn shame.

    We're not exactly blessed in the small forward department in the early rounds.

    Ordinarily I’d try to find out what’s up but I’m anchored to the DA tent. Hopefully we’ll find out soon from Selwyn’s report.

    If it’s a long term injury I’d say that’s a big chance

    I noticed Joel Selwood was watching on upstairs with Alan Richardson, I thought that was interesting given reports a couple of months ago we were trying to get him to the club.

    • 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.
