The other thing from today which I thought was quite bizarre, I saw Saty on the sidelines on other side of the field taking photos then he walked off and hid behind a tree ...

Don't know and don't want to know what was going on there.

He saw Nev Jetta hit a bullet like pass and went behind a tree. You can make your own assumptions from there...

Was it a bright sunny day? Probably finding some shade so he can check the images on the camera's screen.

All eyes possibly on Hogan , though id be content with a "good solid year" as opposed the heroic saviour scenario. Its actually Dawes im thinking might be due a really good season.

Great reporting btw..cheers

- I know this may offend, but on what I've seen to date with Hogan he is not our superstar this year. He is just a kid still learning. He will bring a contest and another option up forward but will not star, for this year at least.

Finally, some sanity.

On the Hogan topic, there was a priceless moment at the end of one of the drills where Hoges happened to have the ball on the 50. Watts and the few of the boys started to get into him saying the sirens gone and we're 5 points down....

He nailed it easily!

He trained fully today ?

I know he was inside Monday I was talking to Mahoney about it. Do you think they will risk him v Bulldogs?

He's named in the squad.

Don't encourage him Nut, he'll think he is funny, at least mine is in my trousers and not on my shoulders

Was sheltering from the wind actually, at my age you have to be careful about rheumatism and arthritis

Missing from today Howe and Kent (who I notice is not named, got nothing when I asked)

Jack Trengove was out waling laps, big smile for my photo for Twitter, said everything is still tracking fine

Got a big thumbs up from Jesse Hogan, did nearly the whole session, did not look troubled at all, laughed when I told him not to miss any sessions as it caused a pandemic of concern

The leadership group pulled all the players into a group during one of the ball movement drills, it was shithouse, coaches stood aside, words were said and after that it improved

Nathan Jones killed Angus Brayshaw in the goal kicking comp AGAIN, told him it was starting to verge on workplace bullyiing

Any questions feel free

Without meaning to tempt fate, I think that it's a miracle that we have so many participating in full training at this time of the year. At least that's one true indicator of where we are at and it gives cause for hope.

I also thought that McCartney's session was illuminating and positive. At one point, he was giving specific instructions to Tommy Mc after a play and, in spite of Tom not wanting to make eye contact, BM laboured the point until he got the acknowledgement he was after. Sometimes a player can think that he doesn't need coaching...he is wrong.

Really looking forward to the game this week. Hope everyone is aware that they can get a free AFL live pass to watch it on their phone or tablet....works well.

Any news on Vince Saty? I know he joined some training but just wonder if there is any other news.

No it's not, it's just the third year of Misson and Co, he promised

He did bits and pieces and then worked his arse off on far side of the paddock running with Shannon Byrnes, not far away I reckon

As for Howe, again not a medical or fitness expert, Howie said the issue was only identified with scans rather than him knowing he had damaged his hammy and something about it being inside, a sort of not normal hamstring injury, think this is leading to the ultra caution, if somebody would like to be a bit more enlightening feel free

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
