Arrived a little early... Rehab group already out on the paddock, with Don Tyson joining the regulars. Tyson, Hibberd, Big Mac and Melksham kicking in pairs on the lead with Crossie overseeing them. Viney on straight sprints, Vanders on fast laps, King mixing it up. The whole group arrived with Watts looking like a former Brisbane Brownlow medalist!

    Haven't spotted Lewis or Garland yet. Main group rotating through agility and quick spread handball & kicking at the moment. Melksham and Hibberd running hard laps

    Thanks for reports. Is Big Mac Tom McDonald, Oscar McDonald or Max Gawn?

     

    Edit: Voss, Akermanis or Black?

    Full oval kicking to lead and running on at top pace now. A lot to like here. The skip is tearing it up. Bernie is fit and chomping the bit. ANB gets a crack at a full preseason. Petracca urges them on from the sidelines. Ollie might be low on middle distance stuff but he remains very high with the ball in his sights!

    Jack (Aka) Watts just performed the rarest of feats... a total miss-kick! Stubbed his toe and was told to replace divot!

    First time I've noticed the grooves being broadcast from the boundary during training... nice upbeat atmosphere wafting across the Paddock

    Whitey struggling against Hunt, who just took a screamer on the boundary line. The pressure on the man with the ball is very high for this time of the year

    Goodwin just congratulates White for his perfect pass to the leading Weiderman, which is good coaching for a bloke who had previously lowered his colours. Bernie and the Skip continue their brilliant ball handling and disposal

    Jetta smooth and clean as usual, doesn't mind putting a bit of body pressure on the youngsters either. Jones enjoying a stint as the deep goal kicker Brayshaw also doing well

    The activity that Rooke is vouching is hard work, with lots of tackling and tough body work Ollie is wandering back to main group and Macca had a word to him Maybe he took a hit in an earlier activity

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
