Headed in this morning as 200m from home.

Not much to report early. Gus & H are out there and are looking good. Dunny has a heavily strapped knee. And during their first jog around the ground,

Jesse was at the back of the pack and not smiling.

Should I be worried???

Hard to tell. One of Demonland's rules is that if a player is smiling, he doesn't care enough or feel the pain of Melbourne supporters and should be traded. On the other hand, if he's not smiling that

Hard to tell. One of Demonland's rules is that if a player is smiling, he doesn't care enough or feel the pain of Melbourne supporters and should be traded. On the other hand, if he's not smiling that means he's unhappy and likely to leave at the end of the year.

I suggest you watch them train from behind.

Should have worn my glasses today, hard to make out who everyone is as some players wearing different numbers.

H & Grimes training strongly during match simulation drills. Gus still mainly training alone, currently doing goal kicking practice. And i haven't spotted Watts, but that could be my eye sight.

I would hope he takes training seriously... very seriously... If he was just drafted & didn't smile at the camera in his first ever club photograph in the Red & Blue jumper: then YES, I would be worried, very worried...

Chris Dawes doing a little ruck work with Greg Stafford. A sign we may only have 1 ruck this week?

Good.

It also shows that the club will go with Gawn as the number 1 ruck this week... i hope

Would have to surely, he wasn't spectacular against WC but was sensational against Geelong. That number on his back is a clear sign where the club see him, hopefully he repays the faith.

Really glad to here Gus is up and about, this match on Saturday is made for him and Viney.

Spotted Vanders right towards the end, so he must have been one of the players in a high vis vest, which is why i couldn't make him out without my glasses.

No sign of Watts, but was a good session with Gus,H, Grimes & Vanders all getting through. A lot of work on quick ball movement/transition from the defensive 50.

Went to the Casey Demons breakfast there this morning where both Roos & Plapp spoke. Plapp mentioned they could have up to 16 Melbourne listed players playing this weekend. Makes sense given the above named all getting through this morning.

Jeez are people [censored] for real!? Watts has arguably had his best 4 games of his career and people want him dropped because of a little bit of rain? FMD wake up people seriously the guy is one of our most classiest and best ball user along with Vince and theres no better hands to have the ball in when its wet then these guys.

Also last i looked footy is played outdoors.

Some posters do make me laugh! I have been Watts biggest critic but he has been awsome the last couple of weeks.

Want him dropped? You're putting words in my mouth mate. I said I don't mind if he's injured, given the conditions.

Given the conditions, I don't mind if Watts is out.

Where have you mentioned injuries.

Get a grip about Hogan..all smiles here... https://www.facebook.com/MELBOURNEfc/photos/a.10151939167012317.1073741839.285839797316/10153520912502317/?type=1&theater

Have we lost our man on the ground at Casey? Any updates on Vanders/Watts/Gus

Yes sorry. My two year old was getting to frightened of checker the mascot, so had to head home.

As mentioned H and Grimes did the whole session and after spending tbe first half of the session doing his own work, Gus joined the main group for the 2nd half and got through without issue.

Vanders i only spotted at the beginning and end of the session, but i forgot my glasses today, so i'd say he got through without issue.

Never saw Watts at any stage and there was a bit of banter between Viney & Harmes, so very strong chance we'll see him saturday.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
