Apocalypse XXXI
in Melbourne Demons

Yep. Got there a bit late but it was a very good session. Only JKH and Newton in rehab. No sign of Dawes,Spencer and obviously Brayshaw. Hogan looked concerned and frustrated with a knee issue and left the track early. Hopefully nothing sinister.                                    

Petracca is a beast with an aggressive 'Hogan like' attitude! Stayed on with a group of about 15, including a sharp Trengove,with McArtney barking the orders. Christian was the standout.

    Was their briefly.  JKH still in rehab & training one on one with Crossy.  What a luxury to have.  Just shots at goal today (for JKH) with either foot....set shots and on the run. Ben Newton running, running.  No Spencer, Brayshaw sighted.Max King provided the highlight demonstrating his improving foots skills.  He had a low shot for goal on the run but almost missed the ball completely.  Improvement noted in that he didn't trip himself up and fall over.  Received much encouragement (?) from team mates....to take up different sport.  Trengove & Petracca training hard now.

    Many thanks for the reports martin and jimcor.  Did either of you happen to notice whether Hulett joined in the main workout, and if so, how did he go?

    Yes,Hulett was there and looks big and physical. Lumumba joined in most of the main session. Frost looks list up forward,love him to go back. Wagner looks assured and has excellent disposal.Reluctant unusually prominent and vocal.Hogan kept pointing to the medial ligament area dropped out a few times before going off.Oliver in everything.

    If Autocorrect were the coach of our beloved Discomknockerated Football Club then Terlich could become Terrifich in an instant.

    Jesse Hogan gets some treatment on his calf during training. Picture: Michael Klein

    No need to worry it seems: 'Forward star Jesse Hogan was spotted having his left calf worked on several times throughout the lengthy session, which is routine for the 21-year-old, before engaging a club medico to work on his hip on the sideline'.

    On another positive note: 'Young gun Christian Petracca played a part in the entire session - his second full session for the week after an interrupted pre-season thanks to a broken toe suffered while playing backyard basketball'.

    Without that caption, it looks like he's done his knee and is in the hands of the trainers, twisted round in pain... nearly spewed.

    (Maybe send that pic to Freo... he's not worth the risk)

    I'd rather Hoges has nothing sore this time of year, given his history of back problems and the stupid decision to add bulk to his frame. Very glad he's not playing on Sunday.

    Keen to see the skipper on Sunday with full strength in his arms and confidence in his neck. Not sure if he'll play back, in the guts or maybe float a bit around half forward and on the wing, but if Viney, Tyson and Oliver are getting first use from Gawn he might just get to bounce around a bit and get some more outside footy. Under pressure he still bombs it long but he's probably our best low and fast kick to a lead when bursting through the midfield so I want to see a bit more of that. Same with Bernie.

    I think having Jones and Vince on ball will add a significant difference to our clearance rate - particularly effectiveness.

    He's hardly looking like "Plugger", or a beefed up Templeton. I think this so called bulking up has been beaten up a bit and trust the club to know what they are doing with him.

    Watching that reminds me of the time Jonathan Brown grabbed the bloke in a headlock from behind then flipped him to the ground and landed on top of him. He subsequently got off because he couldn't be charged with rough play as play had already stopped.

    I'm not liking this Hogan "non injury" one little bit.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
