    Watts moving well. Very slippery early on in the session with some of the boys losing their footing.

    Split into respective groups now, Watts working with the forwards. Short and sharp drills so far.

    It's good to see Jack Watts moving freely and seemingly unencumbered by the rolled ankle he experienced earlier in the week.

    Max Gawn looks good to go ... the snags are of the usual high quality and Jayden Hunt's sporting a blue headband.

     

    Confucius say when Hunt wear blue headband at training, Demons win.

    Is Bugg working on his set shots for goal?

    We may need him to slot one at some stage this season.

    I watched him miss three in a row from 30 out straight in front, then averted my gaze as to preserve my sanity.

    Yes, forwards are meant to kick goals, not behinds..

    Anyone need a behind kicked today? See Thomas Bugg Esquire. Kicking Behinds a specialty.

    That is music to my ears.  I was desperately hoping Watts would get up.   

    You are doing a great job of reporting back.  Keep up the good work (if your phone holds up).

    Thanks for the efforts.

    Did pretty much the whole session. Won't be far off returning.

    Bloody brilliant.  Should be able to force his way into the senior team in a month or so, likely replacing O Mac.  Does everything better and has some elite traits, none more so than his leap, marking ability and reading of the play.

    While it's frustrating that Bugg misses shots at goal, it's good he is getting so many shots. Shows he gets to the right places and beats his opponent, unlike some of his teammates such as Kent or JKH. If only they had his work ethic and smarts...

    If he cant finish it means nothing. Remember Cloke a few years ago at the pies. He was handy back then too but really bad for their morale when he kept  kicking points. He's got to work though it quickly  or be dropped imo,

    Finally home, the most impressive part of the session was definitely Maxy. As mentioned by previous posters the man is a powerful beast, looked free in his movement and doesn't appear to be restricted at all. He completed the session with the main group in drills and at one stage won his own ball and sprinted clear from a couple of more nimble teammates with ease. Also stayed back to continue training with Gus and J.Smith.  From what I witnessed he could easily have played on Monday. 

    The main group participated in the usual  short drills of quick ball movement for about 90 minutes with not an excessive amount of intensity. Everything seems like going to plan, they were clean and precise most times.

    Great crowd, I got my fix after a couple of weeks without seeing them, bring on Monday. 

    Feel free to ask any questions  and I'll try and answer.

    Max probably might have played if it was a final.....oh wait...

    Great to see these longer-term injured returning. That's the 2 Smiths back on deck (more or less), plus Gus, Spencer, Gawn - and hopefully Hogan. Injury/out list starting to look a lot less consequential.

    How did Christian Petracca train.  Looking for a big game from him, his knee looked to have been giving him some trouble.  Hopefully the week off has given him a chance to recuperate ready to hit the rest of the season hard.

    Petracca talks like he likes a big stage.  He's had a week off to freshen up the bone bruising to his knee from a few weeks back and hopefully he steps things up on Monday.

    He's the type of player that can make a huge difference if he plays 4 quarters, which I'm yet to see.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
