Lots of goalkicking, on the run and snapshots happening now Watts, Vince and Oscar walk to the van JKH doing laps at a good pace. Ollie still sitting on his butt close to the main group I'm signing of

Thanks wayne, good stuff.

Wonder why the jumper # changes.

They just stuff around, or forgot their own, or they are being remade, McKenna was in 44 for a couple of days, now in 40

Oliver was feeling crook, spoke to him, didn't sound the best, there have been a couple of them with a bug

Will put a bit more later today or tomorrow

Watts is determined to keep the hair

On the music, it was the video guys idea, asked permission and it was granted, players all for it

Can begin to see why we grabbed McKenna, Joel Smith looking even better than last season, think we have found a smoky

When session finished, fitness guys were having a go at Maynard for walking back without a shirt, "3 sessions and already the rig is out"

The morale amongst the whole group seems very high

Standouts for me in the drills Hogan, Brayshaw, McKenna

Had a chat to Jack Viney, already had the reins pulled a couple of times (surprise), wants to be back with main group, was given a firm no, looks in top condition anyway, said the hip has 'settled' really well, wants to join in Monday, told to wait and see

Hibberd and Melksham looking better each session as well, both feeling really good after each session, looking forward to joining main group

Vince is the old man now, starting his 12th pre season, looks in great shape as well

Apart from the hair, message has sunk in with Watts as well, looks in elite condition,  straight into whole session

Good size, speed, neat and tidy kicking action, knows where to run, know it is early days but was receiving lots of praise from coaches and other players during drills

Likely possie ?

My two hour car park under the bridge is running low so I'll be leaving soon. They have broken into 3 groups now. Ollie walking around still out of the action All groups doing versions of handball under pressure

HI WW,

Firstly, thanks for your reports.

I was down your way today but did not have time to drop in.  Regarding parking, there is usually parking on Swan Street by the car wash (2 hours) OR, I found a pay and display park just off Cremorne Street on the south side of Swan street for those longer stays.

Brayshaw looks set for a huge year if the start of pre season is anything to go by, showed up in fantastic shape, running extremely well, looks clean and sharp, i reckon he could really bounce back strongly this year.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
