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

  • Author

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

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • 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?
