    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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
