Can confirm there is training on at Gotsch's paddock.  It is the AFLW side.  Girls looking fit, into some running and light ball work early.

    Bugger, this was my chance to go and report.

    Of course it was! We believe you. Luckily there are plenty more opportunities for you to attend and I tell you this: you’d wanna submit a kickarze report, and in a timely fashion. I trust we understand one another.

    Maybe, they have an intra club the next day at Casey?

    I think they also have a run at Casey on Thursday, after the 3 day break.

    This is what I was told too, Kev. So, it’s pretty much the same format only the Casey session is tomorrow instead of today, thus enabling the boys to have what will be their last break for a while.

    Looks like the lads trained today at Casey.

    Very disappointed in @Roost it far for not complaining about the lack of training reports. Come on mate, try harder!

    😁

    In all seriousness though, anyone go?

    The boys did train at Casey this morning, from about 9:30am until at least midday. It was closed (of course) and apart from a small group of teenage boys who hung around for a while my friend was the only spectator.

    In stark contrast to yesterday’s S&Gs love-fest, today’s session was serious af. Very intense, no mucking around whatsoever. I don’t have her notes (not sure if she made any) but we spoke briefly on the phone and she made a point of saying she doesn’t think The Bison will get a guernsey this Sunday based on the fact that for the entire match sim he was wearing the “B team” vest, a grey vest, but it could’ve been pink and purple polka dots coz clearly she’s colour blind, amirite @Beetle 😂

    Training tomorrow is also at Casey, a similar session to today’s or so she was told by the property volunteer.

    Obviously Casey is where the real stuff happens and two such sessions in as many days says we’re deadly serious. imho anyways.

    ⏰ 1:45pm - 2:15pm

    📍 Gosch's Paddock

    🏃‍♂️ Session type: Light recovery

    Looks like the recovery session will be in the afternoon, and only 30 minutes. 

    My guess is that they will have more time reviewing the previous match.

    The Captain's run is for 30 minutes.

    Does that mean they will spend more time setting the structures and roles for the next days game?

    Looks like all serious sessions will be at Casey, and may include consecutive days.

    Interesting training changes.

    They have said they are giving back some time to the players ... wonder if thus training schedule is part of it

    Perhaps you are right. The recovery sessions new time may gives them the morning, post match, off.

    Yeah I think the pattern will remain as recovery sessions and Captain’s Runs, both being short and light sessions at Gosch’s; and the lengthy, intense sessions at Casey. Depending on what day of the week we play, consecutive days at Casey will happen, which is something that didn’t happen before now. They also have days where they’re in the gym for the whole session, as well as gym sessions following the light training at Gosch’s on some days. Some even have an ice bath immediately following training when it used to be just jumping in the shower. Another new implementation Is… Zooper Doopers after training! 😂

    Was wondering when you’d rear your demanding little head.

    My dear (but disproportionately superstitious) friend is there but has asked me (begged me, in fact) to not post anything she says. She fully believes in the power of mozzing. True story. Soz. 🤷‍♀️

    This popped up.

    "Please note: The light recovery sessions and pre-game captain's run sessions which take place at Gosch's Paddock, are now on individualised player schedules. The sessions are short in duration, and not all players will be out on Gosch's Paddock."

    A few probably don't want to kick a soccer ball around, and may have felt there was better use of their time.

    It will be interesting to see if that, and to what extent, that happens.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
