All about bonding.

Most of the drills had a competive edge to it.

Golf with a footy, closest to the pin.

 Group handballing, with one more ball than the number of contestants. The one handling two balls was out, last man standing gets the chocolates. 

Snaps for goal off passes, two teams, first one to countdown to zero wins.

Two groups, handles ball then passes to end the set. First to finish wins.

Kind of juvenile, they were all regressed back to teenagers. Plenty of noise and excitement filled the paddock.

And how bloody awesome was it, Kev?!

Seeing them having fun like little kids was heartwarming. I could watch that all day.

They were having a blast but geez they were serious and super competitive. Ricky Lever in particular… he doesn’t like losing and he makes it known. 😂 Jed Adams was also very vocal.

what colour?

One must assume he has a vast array that will either match or enhance the sunglasses for the day.

Sky, light, navy, cobalt or electric? 

I actually asked what shade of blue (not as detailed as you’ve asked 😅) and he said he likes every shade of blue but probably likes the blue of our red and blue the most. 🥹🥹🥹

I would rather my way of being free, play, laughter, and curiosity. 

Drugs (alcohol) can become a crutch that may impose on your happiness, and on others.

Jai’s moonboot is purely precautionary because he has “a very minor foot thing”

His favourite Dees player growing up? Despite the media citing Max and Vines, he actually has never had a single favourite player, rather he loved the midfielders. Even as a little kid he’s always loved the midfielders. 

That's a relief that Jai Culley's moon boot is only precautionary.

Hope he takes it easy and we get to see him kicking huge goals from outside 50 metres on the MCG later in the season.

 

Looking forward to seeing Harvey "The Bison" Langford debut soon too! ❤️💙

This is great! I love Chunk telling them to “ignore the scoreboard.”

Also, Max’s little dance when he stands up in the rooms. Bless his unco little heart 😅

 

I love this inside stuff, their reactions who talks and moves when they are focussed and how they show care for one another, Gold.

Today is about fun. They are so happy and playful. Doing drills and sh!tt stirring at the same time. This drill seems to be about reaction times. There’s double handballs flying around players in a circle.

Now there’s eight players in a circle with four balls being handballed and the idea is you can’t have two balls at once, ie. you have to give off the ball before you receive another. 

Thanks for the reports GW.
Any chance they did goal kicking practice while having fun.

I didn’t see any goal-kicking practice, not serious practice anyways. But today was bookended by a thorough training session at Casey yesterday and an intra-club match tomorrow, so they deserved a fun day today imho.

I couldn’t help but notice that as the boys left the room, Sharpie stayed back to pack up the chairs. Seems a small thing but it’s actually a big thing. It shows his character.

We can all relate to this, right? Well I can, anyways.

AFL injury report is hopeless they had it listed as back on Tuesday

Today someone who I think is in the know told me that sometimes Collingwood “play funny buggers” when informing the AFL of injuries, as in exaggerating an injury so as to keep everyone else guessing. 🤷‍♀️

Clarry’s favourite colour is blue. 

As long as it is matched with red, and not white and certainly not alone !

I noticed that too!  A few boys helped (saw Kozzie in the background) but Sharpie definitely did the most, making that big stack.

They can indeed,  some friends never saw the light,  and hit the whole lot pretty hard. Don’t be let it become a crutch, same applies to demonland. 
 

Those not so sensibile started departing this life, some early but some and regularly from turning 55. Some are still here , hey Mal, know your still here .  Rose are you on DL ?   Who knows what’s around the corner.  Flag 14.      Go dees. Enjoy life,

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

  • 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 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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.

  • 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?
