This is what greets one on approach to Gosch’s this morning…

Are we doing speed training?  Practising how to ice a game?  Being put to the acid test?  Bringing ecstasy to training watchers?

The players clearly DGAF…

The big sign announcing it to the world is the opposite of sneaky!

They put several signs out last Thursday week, at the entries to the paddock, even then people were using the field. 

This one must be a left over from those days, or maybe a CYA (cover your A).

You must admit it creates less suspicion than the nuclear testing sign.

The run on a beautiful morning had Casey players on the paddock early. They look very young to me.

Then MFC Casey players joined them, followed by MFC. Half of them in runners, soccer ball is out, some doing slow laps, many kicking the miraculous snaps from the boundary. Tracc working hard on his set shot. Max and Tmac talking to each other with some trainers. 

Lasted for 30 minutes. 

Another very relaxed, unstructured affair, love and the warm fuzzies.

I am not sure what this kind of Captain's run accomplishes. Last season they would work on the game plan, especially walk through the set ups, and some disciplined ball work.

According to the website the players are now "on individualised training schedules". This morning's Captain's Run was very unscripted (no organised activity) - it seems the players just wander about, gentle jogging, goal-kicking, etc... Casey out early again.

Our selected 23, plus the three emergencies, Adams, Laurie and Langdon all present.

 

No sign of May, Melksham, McVee, Kozzie or Windsor.

My queries have been answered.  The players are on the grass.

Superb comedic association there, D/Stoned.

They are staying away from the grass.

Big thanks Ghostwriter, Kev Martin, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters. Good to hear the boys are doing their own thing for Captains run, much rather they save all their energy and aggression for the Roos tomorrow.

ps(how was the mood today and how did Spargs pants look) 😁👍

SpargiPants was coming across from the rooms with about a dozen or so of the boys and I greeted him with, “Hey Charles! Congratulations and good luck with your first game back!” He said, “Thanks.” Then I said, “Now don’t [censored] it up!” The boys all laughed, and while I don’t have photographic evidence to back it up… Charles laughed too! I do have witnesses though, which is good because who’s gonna believe it happened?

Spargipants looked happy. Or, as happy as he can possibly look. He looked relaxed, too. The mood was very upbeat and playful.

The Bison wasn’t down in the dumps at all, despite greeting me with, “I was dropped.”

He said he got good feedback from the coaches and that made him feel better. He said the decisions they make are always explained really well and because of that he’s not too down, and that he can’t wait to go again. 

Was trying to get down this morning to watch but tune was short and limited. 

Glorious day here in Melbourne.

Good that he will get a full run in the midfield for Casey tomorrow. His position is a bit more difficult than Lindsay, as he’s competing with Trac, Oliver and Viney…

You really didn’t miss much. Some were only out there for 10 mins. Marty Hore, for example. He said it wasn’t worth putting his boots on since that took longer to do than the actual “training.” 😅

Dm56 you’ve added a ‘d’ how prescient. “Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs…”

The fox/kayo commentators kept on saying that he's called "the Bull" during the final quarter of the GWS game.  So close to the Bison, but so far...

Glad he's in good spirits!

Which bit, GW?

That you said it? All of of us ☺️

That you got those responses? Most of us 😄

p.s. Belated Happy St Patrick's Day! Slainte!

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
