    Clarrie’s not here, nothing to worry about, it’s just that these sessions are tailored to the individuals and Claz is “Off Legs” today which is sports medicine speak for not running.

    I told JVR he might need his big boy pants for Monday. He said he hasn’t been told yet either way. I said it makes sense to have him selected this week. He said (take a deep breath, PF) “Jeffo’s kicked 10 goals in the past two weeks, it will probably be him.”

    Probably just a coincidence but Jeffo’s not here today.

    With the soccer balls and sherrins in the same picture, I immediately pictured them combining to become pear-shaped, to reflect the Alice Springs game. Actually, pear-shaped balls might correct our goal kicking problems.

    No Rick Lever, no Melky.

    AMW looking good and looking very happy. Doing one-on-ones with a trainer.

    Spargs running along the boundary, in great spirits.

    The flushing run from those who played at Alice, and a light training for the Casey MFC and Laurie. They were separated into the two groups.

    Cold and some of the squad appeared to feel that. Arms crossed, body with slight contractions. (Harden-up Gen Z).

    Goody got round to a few of the players for long chats.

    Lever, Kossie, Viney, Johnson, Oliver, Melky, not in attendance.

    The Alice's did a warm then got into 3 laps of the paddock, some soccer then they had a choice, leave or personal drills. Four went to gather ground-balls, four to goal kicking and the rest followed Max back to AAMI.

    Goal practice included, Lindsay, Tracc, Chandler and Sharp.

    The seconds had a bit more fun, Chaplin had them in a competitive partnership drill. Then, into some sims with Whitford, 5 defenders, the 12 offenders.

    JVR forward by himself and leading towards goal in a few. Then Cambell and Jeffo on either flank leading up the ground. Plenty of looking for the inside corridor and angles into the forward 50.

    They then went onto some goal kicking, with William's overseeing.

    Marty looks ready to go.

    Spargo doing a mountain of running in rehab and his own program.

    AMW with a trainer and working on his running gait over 5 meters.

    McAdam down at training but didn't participate.

    Last on the track was Billings and Brown, working with Williams on their goal kicking.

    No GT striped balls in use.

    Thanks once again Ghostwriter, Kev Martin and all posters and special comments, I imagine that they would have been a bit flat today, not helped by the terrible news of Jack Viney breaking his hand whilst training in Alice Springs over the weekend. I heard Milkshake on radio he said that all they will do this week is goal kicking practise and then on face book Neita said he’s going to get Swarta and the real Whizz together to teach our boys how to kick, if only.😁👍

    They were quite talkative and relaxed.

    Appeared as though they have moved on from the Alice game.

    Long morning of review and an address from Daniher seemed to have helped them get set for the Woodens.

    The others presumably thought that they were ok with goal kicking.

    As I said on the goal kicking thread, unless there are very serious changes in attitude and outcomes, membership for 2025 will decline steeply.

    I think most wanted to get out of the cold.

    I could see that Lindsay wanted to work and create the best system to kick straight, focused and serious.

    So, the junior on the list felt it was important, but the seniors didn’t. 🤬🤬🤬😡😡

    I'd like to imagine that the main trainings, Thursday and Saturday at Casey would be where the standards are set. The flush runs still seem to be about comraderie.

    • 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.
