Anyone who’s heading over to Gosch’s this morning should keep in mind that this ISN’T an open training session. It may be cancelled or relocated without notice (this even applies to open sessions) so please don’t be mad at me if this happens. By all means be mad, just not at me. 😃

    I understand a portable "Great Wall of China" has been erected around the perimeter to keep snoops out! Seriously how can you police not an open session at Gosch's ???

    Yeah nah, not looking promising. The truck’s not here, the marquee’s not up. Maybe they’re starting later, who knows 🤷‍♀️ 
     

    If there’s no session here, me and my Gosch’s crew might head over to the other oval and see if Collingwood are training. If so, anyone got any message they’d like passed on to any Collingwood player? And by passed on I mean rudely screamed at.

    I don’t think a verbal message is needed, just drop off a truck load of pickle juice. They will get it.

    Ghosty   given your "closeness" to players and trainers and stuff,  Can't you get on the players general email training notification sms list.

    Like is not as if you are going to broadcast it to all the other clubs training spies,  then you get the info direct when the players get it.  Enjoy your day this afternoon.

    Good chance they are in at the meeting,  studying the GWS game in detail, getting the roles established. 

    We will have a strategic advantage over their early physical preparation. 

    They will hit the paddock post lunch.

    I apologize for speaking before Ghostwriter has had a chance to respond, but I don’t think she should be asked to do stuff that would compromise the trust the entire football department has for her. We benefit from her great relationship with players already. Let’s leave it at that.

    I have the phone numbers of the property manager and one of his volunteers, which is way more useful than the players and even the coaches. They know stuff-all about when/where sessions are right up until the night before. I’ve actually had players ask me where their next session is. True story. 😂

    As for today, this was a last minute change. The property guys let me know at 9:15am which was when the session was to begin. That’s nice of them but would’ve been great to have known before I got there 😭

    Didn't some irate Richmond supporter years ago get a truckload of manure dropped outside Richmond headquarters? It wouldn't be original but it'd be a heartfelt message I'm sending the Filth.

    Back here at Gosch’s. They’re already out on the park. They’re playing soccer, red vs blue. They’re serious but having a blast  

    Kolt and Luker kick-to-kick under the watchful eye of Chocco, except not watchful for the past 15 minutes while he was chatting to me. 😅

    Marty is practicing tackling with Keith the physio. 
     

    LOL Claz just kicked a goal and the celebration was wild, just like in real soccer games. I’m not 100% sure but he dropped to his knees and I think he kissed the turf.

    Practising goal kicking and what a shame no Koz for the first few rounds.

    Jeffo slotting them. As is Roo. And Claz. 
     

    wow. Shortest session ever. They’re slowly going back to the rooms already

    What’s Kozzy’s body language like ? Noticed he unfollowed the club on instagram again, wondering if he seems a bit checked out or not, particularly with two of his closest mates AMW and Shane out for the year as well

    I knew he had unfollowed the Dees a while ago. Did he re-follow them again only to unfollow them a second time?

    Interestingly he follows these two clubs.

    Praying the Dogga rumours are true so we don’t get absolutely fleeced when he requests a trade this off season 🙏

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
