Arrived on time. Only ANB, Filipovic & Hanban in rehab group with Crossy... maybe Mitch King had graduated!

Beautiful morning in Melbourne, going to be 31 today (cheers Ron Barassi!).

Main group just arriving.

Just going through routines at the moment, run throughs, short kicks... nothing of significance to report

Into 3 groups for skills/evasive work with assistants. Misso comes over and carefully rearranged a cone that a toddler/spectator had carried around for a while

Three sets of 60 metre sprints.

Petracca just leads Melksham for 2, Melksham pips him on third.

Johnstone impressive but Clarrie runs him down in third. Keilty is quite quick.

It's this sort of attention to detail that typifies New Melbourne.

30 metre passing, full ground. Assistant (couldn't tell which) calls them in because they aren't doing enough when they haven't got ball

Awesome. Moving without the ball has been my biggest problem with us for 10 years!

Cheers for the reports btw WW

Which is why we've been utterly shite from kick-ins and going forward.

There's quite a bit of 'dissatisfaction' being expressed by the assistants today. It's a lazy day sunshine type of Monday! I don't think the squad are particularly poor... I think it's time to crank it up!

First time long time guys & girls. 

Very excited for the year ahead, somehow managing to keep a lid on it however.

Getting slightly concerned re the training reports and Dean Kent ... seems something suss is going on.

Any word on what is happening there?

The iron boundary rail is too hot to lean on now as they break into small groups again. The group near me are doing a run and carry activity which is very willing. Wagner puts White down, Hoges flips Garlett over into a barrel roll. Rawlings is barking instructions... first demanding more, then full of praise for intensity and decision making

Gotta love it when there's no injury news on a player who hasn't trained for over two weeks now.

Really good stuff.

Groups rotate now. Standouts in previous group, Watts, Jones, Wagner. Slight errors by foot... Billy, Oscar. In new group Clayton holds on to ball for too long... a little later he is monstered by Max, but bounces up and gets straight back into it. Bernie excels by foot. Kielty is praised for two great intercepts


  • Author

Harmes been doing well, Judy just took on Maynard and won. Johnstown pops it up a little high for Kielty, but he marks and handballs back to Johnstone who has run on impressively... he nails a 'goal'. Rawlings calls them in, then they rest. Max is outstanding in these small team games

  • Author

Hannan putting some space between him and Filipivic as they run the boundary... perhaps he got a jump start. This rehab group, which includes ANB has continued, hard at it, throughout the session. The main group are in the centre now setting up the next drill. A trainer holds up the magnets to allocate teams/roles

Maybe family matters over in perth for Kent?  Has anyone even seen him since the break?

11 v 8 defenders between the HF lines. Long Petracca pass cut off by Hibberd, he passes over the back to a running Spencer, but Jetta runs him down and stops him in a vice like tackle

  • Author

Defenders, including Max and Oliver intercept the next thrust, pass to Bugg who holds on for too long and the reset whistle blows

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
