Maysie was here this morning. He’s in really good spirits. I told him how happy we are about the appeal and he said he’s not sure (of a win) either way but we’ll ‘go hard’ and see how it goes.

Spaz stoked to be over the concussion thing.

    I literally didn’t watch a nanosecond of training since little Bellanie was so distracting. It was players’ family day today and when that little girl is around I’m cactus. Koz brought her over and she immediately looked for my hands since she remembers I’ve always got variations of red and blue nails. Currently they’re glitter red and blue… Bellanie approves. Up until recently she didn’t say Dada, in fact she said everything but Dada. I told Koz to be patient and it will happen. Today Ardu said that she and Bellanie went home (Darwin) for a week and Bellanie clearly missed Koz because since they’ve been home she says Dada all the time. I showed her a pic of Koz on my phone and her reaction was priceless. She smiled from ear to ear and said ‘Dada.’ Bless.

    Another important training report article…

    Tracc doesn’t mind the Colgate ad. despite Heeney taking a hanger over him. He said they filmed for hours and it was cool. He didn’t know until he saw the ad. that the footage they used was the Heeney speccy but he doesn’t have a problem with it.

    Cold, blustery day with a few Wallabies' fans in attendance. Casey out first, including Jeffo, Culley and Adams. We'll know the carryover emergency when Casey starts tomorrow at 11.05 am.

    Not much to report really - as Ghosty mentioned, amongst the injured players May was present. Just another short Captain's Run.

    Henderson present, but not selected for Casey tomorrow...

    I didn’t see Sesto there, HW. Did you? I read on the injury report he’s out for four weeks, the injury being “Face”

    Don't think Sestan was there. Yes. had surgery - incident at training. Hopefully he can come back for Casey - and they make finals. Casey should win tomorrow, bye next week, then Lions away and Box Hill at home - tough finishing games....

    Thanks Ghostwriter and Harvey Wallbanger, glad it has been a quiet family day Captains Run, I am hoping that they have freshened the boys up for this game. Glad to hear that Mayzie attended and in good spirits let’s hope that sanity prevails. Bad luck for Ollie Seston he was playing well before injured. Thanks again hope both teams play well and kick straight tomorrow. Dees by 23, Casey by 57 running away.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
