    Do you know if Max King is injured DeeSpencer or just having a light day? I'm hoping he will come on this year

    Cheers

    I'm assuming if he is with Dawes and Lumumba he isn't 100%

    Legend DeeSpencer!

    If you get a chance, would love to hear your thoughts on these things:

    - How far off from actual footy training do you think Trengove is?

    - Who's being vocal out there?

    - What Oliver's disposal is looking like and if he's training mostly with the mids or forwards?

    Even if you can't get to those, looking forward to hearing your observations.

    Boys are doing a drill that goes short kick to a f flank, square to chf, kick to a lead from the square.

    All kicks encouraged to be fast. 1 step, kick says the coach. 

    Dunn and Gawn the most vocal. 

    White stands out in his ability to spear a pass from this 1/3 of the team. 

    Tyson kicking with more penetration. 

    Oliver kicks the ball well when balanced, massages it a bit when under pressure. Not the best or worst

    I know that Dawes' marking skills are often <indescribable> but I recently watched a few matches (which we won, I'm not a masochist) and he took some really good critical marks.  Let's not overdo the mockery.

    Oliver and Mi King have joined rehab. 

    Petracca done for the day. No signs of Bewton. 

    Hogan, Frost and T Mc doing marking drills. 

    Smith also in the rehab shirt. 

    2 different hard and fast handball drills happening. All about quick decisions under pressure and getting in to space

    might get along soonish myself to have a gander but can you  'opinionate' perhaps as to how switched on they look.  Are the drills working. ? Do people really seem to get the idea of moving and gettting there promptly.

    What Im trying to get at here is sometimes drills are  a false guide..its how you go when its mixed up a bit.  Macca was suggesting that the 'elements' are now being transferred across into real  meaningful and purposeful match simulation., that the 'habits ' are sticking.

    Have you noticed this  ?  

    cheers

    In between drills the main group pair off for sprints around the centre square. 

    Modern version of go do a 400.

    Vanders flying to match pace with Hunt. 

    Looks like some full ground blue v green with a 3rd group waiting for some match simulation

    Are the Dawes jokes missing the mark?

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
