I find it amazing that from watching these sessions (& kudos to you) that you come up with these assumptions. We have a high performance team who would analyse these players to the “nth degree “ and I don’t believe one bit that any training would be taken lightly. My interest in reading these reports are how the players look mentally ..how connected .,what are the vibes like. I’d be extremely surprised if you could tell us anything relating to game plan etc ..& I mean that in a nice way otherwise every club would know exactly what we’re doing …

Fair points but 'reading the vibe' is fraught with danger.

I've seen them super chatty, running on top of the turf and some looking like they'd run through a brick shizen house at some Gosch's runs only to then go out and get smacked a few days later by 50+.

And then the opposite can occur. A number appearing dour, long faces, serious chats with trainers, coach etc. The vibe and happiness seemingly zapped out of many. Choco harping on about a particular aspect of their kicking etc etc.

Then they come out and deliver a solid win.

Personally i take zero notice of anything that's reported re "vibes" from a player or the various playing groups (forwards / followers / backs etc).

So many diff personalities within the group also. You're gonna see some up and about no matter what. While others might just be the serious / dour type that just wants to get on with business. And then there's the in betweeners etc.

Clearly!? So can your scribe detail the specifics of the drills in question? focus, personel, directions, equipment used, pedagogies, close skill sequence, outcomes?

Hard to detail any of the above from behind locked gates and when most of the drills are done on the other side of the ground.

Here’s an idea though: howsabout YOU get your caboose down to Casey and report back here on specifics of the drills in question, focus, personnel, directions, equipment used, pedagogies, close skill sequence, outcomes, etc. 👍🏽

Don't think I can be bothered any more, given locked gates, but ALL of my DETAILED reports feature specific elements of required content as per usual.

fans who have endured at least half a season of poor kicking in front of goal.

A massive understatement there - how about 4 seasons.

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
