I've spoken to him a few times at training. Jordie has a sore achilles. He is running well now but still in the rehab group. These things sometimes take a long time to go away. I doubt that he will be playing NAB Cup. I have not seen him do any ball work either before and after Xmas. Just laps laps laps.

Achilles is it, thanks Theo.

    I agree with this. It is true that Jurrah's touch is natural and will come quickly and aerobic capacity is key for Jurrah but pre-season is about learning and repeat applications of the learning until it comes second nature. What is the old saying" you should play like you train". It doesnt always apply. However last year we constantly moaned that there was no one in the forward to kick to - players running to the wrong spots. Repetition of training drills is important so doing things as per instruction are second nature. Anyone who does not participate is disadvantaged.

    I strongly agree with all that nutbean, but last year we also constantly moaned that LJ didn't have the engine to do the repeat chases and run-downs etc. that are expected of modern-day AFL footballers. His aerobic capacity should be improved with all the running he has done this pre-season, so hopefully this will be a case of an ill wind ...........

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
