I don't know how to link but on the AFL site there are a lot of great photos of today's training.

    There are a bunch of facebook.

    Those who think Trengove was looking a bit on the heavy side, there's a decent photo of him and I think he just looks to be filling out nicely.

    Howie has some good size about him too and I think he'll fit out quickly.

    Cook looks like Watts when he came to the club.

    Skinny kid, needs a good feed.

    Troy Davis has the body to be playing round 1 by the looks of it.

    Can we paste the pics in here or will that peeve Mr Slattery?

    Actually it is hard to tell from these pics... anyone ever seen Davis in the flesh?

    Dropped in briefly to watch training this morning with the idea of viewing the new blokes more than anything else. I was most impressed with Lucas Cook, who despite his light frame, contested well in the drills. Troy Davis and Tom McDonald are probably a bit overwhelmed at now being part of an AFL squad and I would suggest it might take them a while to acclimatize. Jeremy Howe was part of the rehab group so I was most disappointed that he wasn't flying around taking speccies at training.  :) 

    There were quite a few players in the rehab group and, of course, Aussie was missing.

    I had to leave early so I couldn't ask any questions but a mate of mine told me that went to a lunch in the city where Barry Prendergast was a guest speaker and he did a fantastic presentation on how his team went about assessing prospective recruits for a draft. Given the selections he was working with, he said he was delighted with the outcome. He also went into previous drafts and how he researched players such as Rohan Bail whose selection my friend thinks he might be one of his proudest achievements. Also asked if Max Gawn was capable of getting an AFL game in 2011. Only if he can manage to build up his upper body to meet the demands of modern ruckwork.

    Does anyone know when training moves to Casey Fields?

    On Friday 10th Dec there is a training session at Casey.

    It is also a bit of a Christmas Party. There is a BBQ and some stuff for kids.

    I believe that even Santa will be there!!

    They did the same last year and it was pretty good. Good chance to see the players for those that live down this way.

    Maybe call the club in the morning though. Cause we cant really have closed sessions at AAMI. Unless they are inside of course.

    Trengove is going to have a big year if his shape shift is any guide.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
