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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
