Was there mention that while the AO is on theres no training at Goschs?

Is this right @Ghostwriter? I thought Jan 22nd was a family day and was going to take the little man along. Any info would be appreciated…

    The 22nd of January is part of the school holidays open session series. I know in the past there’s been no training at Gosch’s during the AO but the session on the 22nd at Gosch’s is locked in. We’ve already ordered what’s needed in terms of sausage sizzle stuff and BBQ hire and since that’s done through the Club, there’s no doubt it’s going ahead.

    Definitely bring the little man along 🤗

    I realise this probably doesn't fit in this thread.  But, it was too good to not post somewhere, so I'm sticking it here.  (Sorry!)  Dennis has a point when we all get a bit fired up watching the game on the telly!  😎

    When we first heard about the open session being scheduled for the 14th of February some DA were saying that because it’s Valentine’s Day they might not be available coz plans with their other half etc.

    I jokingly replied, ”I’ll definitely be available because the MFC is my one and only true love.” I expected to get these reaction emojis 😂🤣 but instead I got these ❤️ 💖 which goes to show I’m not the nuffiest in the DA. 😝🙁

    Scroll forward 50 years and that's a laptop in front of Henry, with [insert football media outlet of choice] opened...

    😂  With a rather large airfare attached. I'm currently home, enjoying the warmth and brightness of a Melbourne summer.

    Anyone know where clayton and christian came in the time trail?

    You can't hide your fitness in those

    Times in the time trials are subjective to each footballer. It’s about each player aiming for their best under the circumstances that have prevailed in the pre season and their ability in running u der this pressure. 

    Some players aren’t best times in the group but are still very good for them ie Maysie. and the fitness Chiefs know the scorer with each footballer.

    We all know that but they are mids and need to be doing ok still ... maybe not 1st but certainly not in the last 3rd amongst the talls and newbies

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
