    That photo probably overstates Smith's change in body shape. It's noticeable but not crazy. The change in definition is what makes him look so impressive but it's a good change from a basketballer to a footballer's body. Having that background in pro sports and being a bit older probably helps.

    I'm excited that they have music. Just one speaker so far but it's something I think they could build on and play crowd noise during goal kicking practise, play some tunes during the warmup and maybe cut it off for the focused training.

    I think it's a sign that Goodwin isn't afraid to be innovative and to mix things up. 

    So music is a tick from me. 

    Toilets must be next.:pj:

    Then a sound wall and more trees to stop the toxic diesel fumes at the freeway end please.

    By all reports, Joel Smith and McKenna could be real smokies next season.

    ANB looks like a man on a mission too.

    Havent seen enough of Maynard as yet but competition for spots is going to be fierce.

    No Misso's program of building players is in full swing, players who need bulk get it, players such as Petracca are being leaned down

    That is very good news.

    Maynard doesn't look too bad for a B class rookie, if that makes sense, I expected his kicking to be all over the place but it's quite good, and he is like a sponge asking questions all the time, when he is not in the drill, he watches intently

    This kid could be really something. Looking at the list and the kids coming on, there is not only going to be competition for spots, there are also going to be some very disappointed footballers.

    They are building a block on the corner DS, still means a run there and back though, Jesse used this as a warm up this morning

    Unfortunately have to work today so my pics will appear tomorrow on Instagram, got some of the tackling drill, Harmes put Jones on the deck, not a good career move

    Sounds like it from a couple of reports but someone mentioned in one of the training day threads there is a push for him to move to small fwd. I know we are well represented at inside mid but not sure that move will pan out.

    Just noticed Ollie sitting on the grass watching... I'll keep an eye on him The competive, half ground ball movement continues... several looking a bit worn out now

    Love the reports thanks.

    Was Ollie maybe looking for a drink?  Or the booze bus on Punt Road?

    That's not nice, already reported the poor bugger was crook, can't take a trick, spoke to him, didn't look or sound well, believe there has been a bit of a bug floating around the club

    Gee I don't know about that... He looks like he's put on about 5 kegs of lean muscle on his jaw and neck alone

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
