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! 😂 

The boys are training at Casey right now. Another serious match sim.

Captain’s Run at Gosch’s tomorrow for half an hour beginning at 10am.

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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
