I wonder if the Monday afternoon sessions will continue or if they're just a preseason thing?

I'm guessing it's a preseason thing, they also mentioned that they are now resuming "in season" training.

Five people and a dog there today. One wonders where all the tragics are on the eve of our first hit out? Trengrove looked particularly smart and l can see him regaining his spot in our starting 22 earlier rather than later (but possibly not for the NAB Challenge). Kennedy also looks like he can play and nice to see Petracca moving well (although he confirmed that he also is not a starter in the nab).   Hogan was Hogan and will star on Saturday! Good session with skill levels improving as the session developed. No injuries and the boys all seem raring to go. Go Dees!

Also Nathan seemed to be training well today so I don't know why he wouldn't play, especially when Roos stated that we would be fielding our best side?

I reckon the Coach(es) will be focused on refining and deciding on the final half dozen spots in our starting 22 for round 1. Jones and Bernie would be best playing the last two NABs with this NAB game focused on seeing which of the new Kids grabs their spot...

Did Trenners do the full main group session?

He seemed to and was moving comfortably. He stood out, particularly on skills.

I guess that speaks volumes for the adage that class is permanent.  Sounds like from a skills perspective he is living up to a #2 draft pick

Was one of the five who went today, and ironically went on the motorbike, although I left the family and the dog behind. Missed most of the early match sims so didn't see Trenners train. From what I saw a pretty light session. Couple of things I noticed. The sheer size of Petracca is impressive, especially across the shoulders. Gawn has become the Heart and the Soul of this group. At the end of the session he was whooping and hollering, "We got a game on this Saturday boys". Revving up the whole group. Took some happy snaps http://imgur.com/a/ac5UL

(From my very distant vantage point, Max Gawn comes across as a ripping bloke)

Tks for the Photos. Good article on Barrass on the MFC website. I couldn't help looking at the size and build of Christian Pettracca  at 186cm. and then remembering the amazing concrete structure that was Barass at his prime at 179cm. Always dangerous to look for comparisons early in a young players career, but it would be lovely having a modern day  tank like player who could grab a game by the neck as Barass so often did.

How does Jack Grimes look younger now than he did five years ago?

Thanks for the photos. I sense a growing belief amongst this group of young men.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
