Difficult to see how he'd run laps withOUT a hamstring, Brendan!  (Preferably one in each leg...!)  Boom Boom!

    Jeff's scan came back completely clear as reported in the club's injury update.  If he had a hamstring tear, he would not be running laps.   But he had / has hamstring tightness.  So it becomes a risk assessment as to whether the tightness dissipates sufficiently to be able to play, including running at full speed which is vital to Jeff's game.  I don't think he'll get up....

    So, what exactly, is 'hamstring tightness'? Does this mean the muscle fibres have over-contracted but without causing damage? And how does the tightness dissipate? Just with time and perhaps massage, ice (or heat) and ultrasound?

    Did the Weed train with the main group? I think maybe he will play and TMac will go to Buddy

    No Hogan

    Did Dion Johnstone train with the AFL contingent?

    No, but means nothing, Hogan could be lying, he looks super fit, only additions to last weeks team seemed to be Wagner and White

    At end of session 'Casey' team break away to have 10 min run together

  • Quote

    Reporting just now on AFL website, that we have ruled out Hogan, Watts and Garlett. Concerning.

    Just back from training.  Salient points:

    - no Watts for the entire session

    - Garlett joined Jones for run throughs on the boundary for the whole session.  Practiced a few snaps at goal but you'd think unlikely to come up

    - Jones quipped that his quad was feeling significantly better than the previous session

    - Hogan participated fully in the whole group session

    - Kent looked sharp and up and about

    - TMac doing lots of goal kicking practice

    - Joel Smith training fully with the main group

    - Hunt looked a bit flat, Pedersen looked a bit sore

    Huge news. The forgotten man. Love to have him in form and banging down the door at the end of the season.

    The mind games have just begun, been along time since we have been playing with the opposition and public's minds love it.

    When you think about it though, we won without all 3 last week. Watts and Hogan didn't play and Garlett did nothing all game due to injury. So an upgrade in Kent or similar might be better. Think positive man! hehe

    Hopefully the Swans even the ledger and rule Tippett in.

    The only problem being that we play the strongest Swans side of the season so far and basically at full strength and in form, with 6 wins in their last seven games, with us on a third six day break and having played in Perth last Saturday.

    Then again we are having a red hot go, no matter who is in the side.

    Ouch on all those outs. I was desperately hoping Watts would play this week, and Garlett is a massive loss in his current form.

    • 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?
