From a video on the website looks like they had the 3km time trial today.

Anyone know any results?

Unsurprisingly looks like tmac came in first.

    Just looking at the video:

    McDonald

    Grimes

    Bugg

    A tall slim figure that could be Oscar Mc

    Stretch

    Melksham

    3 defenders - Garland, Dunn, Jetta coming in together.

    Harmes

    Wouldn't have been fun in this wind.

    Unless someone happened to be there I don't think we'll ever know detailed results from this one.

    Hope that Harmes is building his tank. His aggression around the stoppages was terrific last season but his fitness wasn't quite there.

    If he can build his endurance I think he could be a key player for us. Has terrific strength for a player his age. Shows when taking contested marks or getting his arms free in stoppages. Great tackler too. One to watch

    Apparently, he just edged out Jordie Gysberts in the last 20 metres.

    Thats unfair Jordie had just done ten push ups.

    Jordie Gysberts was actually first but he found it impossible to break through the tape at the finishing line.

    I take it no-one was there...?

    Probably can't type with one finger either.

    Interesting nice to see Bugg up there early and Grimes (something to prove this year?)

    I went along at about 10:30am and the drills weren't very intense, so it must've been after the run.

    There were 3 groups rotating between 3 drills - being set shot goal kicking, 1v1 marking contests and a ball-up ruck contests with 2 teams of mids. Not much to report really, I wasn't there that long.

    Players missing were: Jones, Vince, Hogan, Petracca, Brayshaw, Lumumba, Trengove, Tyson, Newton, Pederson, O McDonald, Neal-Bullen, Kennedy, Garlett, Spencer, Terlich, M Jones, King.

    A few observations were:

    • Viney is just scary... just so ripped.
    • Most were pretty up-beat, a lot of talk and encouragement from Watts.
    • Joel Smith has a serious leap. In the contested marking drill they used bags at one stage. One was basically to take a speccy on, using the knee. Well, all the others got a knee up on the bag and took the grap. Smith basically stood on top of it. Jumped on to it and used his feet!
    • Stretch did quite a few good things in the 3v3 mids roving from the ruck, congratulated by the coaches.
    • White has a thumping kick.
    • Melksham was looking alright, did some good things.

    That's about it I'm afraid... not much happened really!

    Col will be right up there, when he gets an injury-free preseason.

    Thanks, Ruffles! You saved the day!! Without you, there would have been NO report at all -- and thus a pointless thread! Well done!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
