    After NAB 1 and 2 I thought that, but I think his performance in NAB 3 (which I thought was quite solid) has put him right in the picture to play.  I really didn't think he would be to AFL standard for the first half of the season, but I think things are looking good for him to debut this weekend.

    I think he offers some real creativity and vision off half back, and I have a feeling he is playing the role the coaches give him very well.

    All 3 NAB games and being part of the 18 running through match day scenarios on the eve of the season start?  I think he's very likely.

    It'll be a great half back line this week with Hunt, Oscar McDonald & Wagner

    Not for the players playing on Saturday, they used to have a light run the day before, but not since Roos took over, Casey have a praccy game as well some time over the weekend

    Damn! We can't make it down from Sydney until Thursday afternoon and my son was hoping we could catch a training session :-(

    Thanks DeeSpencer, but what is an "inverted winger"?

    Unfortunately we are without car (flying down), so Casey may be a bridge too far. Will put it to the boy depending on what public transport options are like.

    Thanks for the report Spencer.  The info re: the 18 who were doing some of the main drills was very interesting indeed.  It doesn't mean all of them will get picked, as there were some very handy players who didn't take part, but it gives us a pretty clear idea as to who will be playing come Saturday.

    I'll touch wood as I write this as well, but it's also terrific to see our injury list is pretty small for this time of the year.  Three wins and a small injury list is a great way to roll into Round 1!

    Fantastico!!  Thanks for that info... do you happen to know what the kick off time might be? (I should probably look it up myself I suppose)

    Not sure HT, i was just underscoring what the previous poster had said.  Check the club site I reckon.  Good luck, I will be in B@#$dy Ballarat for the weekend.

    Saty, do you have any idea what time the Casey match at Goschs will kick off?  I did a quick search of the MelbourneFC site and couldn't find anything.

    Thanks for asking...he's started running (but the shock of that gave him a touch of bursitis) and he had his first kick last Thursday...so coming along very nicely. He should be able to resume full training late April or early May.

    Thanks very much for that...I didn't even think to look under training times (thick as two short planks am I)

    Nah, when we're in Melbourne we always walk from the city to Goschs...it's quite a pleasant stroll along the Yarra.

    Could not be happier for him; hope he achieves everything he deserves.

    I was down there for an hour or so.

    Salem is still protecting his finger and not training at 100%, someone would have to be on stand-by, it must have been a fairly serious injury for him to carry it into a second week, and he will need to pass a fitness test later this week.

    Also Oliver had a minor twinge in his lower calf by the end of the session. I would suggest it is very minor but given he is still a kid they may choose to rest him, not sure. They may choose to ease him off and re-hab him for a week, but if he doesn't play for the firsts I doubt if he'll play at Casey.

    You guys are nailing these Jesus jokes.

     

    I think it's time I intervened. You are being very naughty boys. We are about to witness the resurrection of the MFC and all you boys can do is make silly puns. Stop it now or the mighty one will smite you to the ground and send you to bed without your dinner. 

    Now go and say three Hail Vineys and let's hear no more of this.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
