Braved the Antarctic conditions

Kent left early, calf tightness (I asked)...not confident.

Spencer very light session after no show Wednesday, assured me he is fine.

Terlich will play.

Jamar said a very interesting thing, asked him when he would be available, answer "when I can get around the ground, you get found out".

No shows Hogan, Michie, Barry, Tapscott.

JKH switched on, one of the last off the ground, just wants to play.

Nev Jetta pleased to be upgraded, just wants to bring his good form to AFL if he gets a chance.

Asked Chip for 3 goals, big smile, so playing with confidence.

And a perfect end to the session Cross and McKenzie last off the ground, after practicing picking up a wet ball off the ground for 15 minutes, asked both in their opinion whether G Ablett Jnr was best player of last 10 years, both said yes, Cross said 6 or 7 and Judd before that, I asked apart from the skill what was so good about him.

Cross "his core strength, and he is speedy, you can't catch the little bastard" ... loved it, so not competitive at all.

    Thanks for the report TV star.

    Rode my bike down to the Lexus centre to look at the new statue of Louey and watched the Pies train for a while. I counted about 6 or 8 supporters watching. Then rode up to see the Dees and noted there were 20 or more gathered before training had even got started. Amazing what a win does for supporter's morale!

    Unfortunately decided to skidaddle once the southerly buster came in and the rain started so didn't see any action.

    deplorable conduct viscount. didn't want your lycra wet eh?

    i'll have to remove you from my potential trench companion list

    a good drenching might have gone some way to washing the "filth" off you

    Yes DC poor form I admit but SWMBO was with me and she gave me an ultimatum, if we stayed any longer I would have to go with her tomorrow to watch the Hawks train out at Waverley Park! That's when I really got on my bike!

    Must have been a tough Pies session, after training went to Cheeky Monkey on Swan St for breakfast (can recommend), Fasolo, Witts, Thomas and one other tucking in including chips and tomato sauce

    I dragged the missus down to watch the Dees train (she lives across the road) and she wasn't happy when the rain came in.

    Dawes trained really strong and I was impressed by the size of Aidan Riley. The boy's thighs are thicker than my waist! Also Frawley training with the forwards.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
