    I reckon Lucas Cook was way worse than Cale Morton.

    It's great to see our players doing a little extra before the official start to pre-season.  Listening to the speeches at the B&F it sounded like this is the standard they are hoping to set with our squad.  Don't just do the official training sessions, go out and work on your own as well. 

    Of course, if they want the players to do more than the official work-outs and training sessions, they could just add more to the official workload rather than hinting that they want more but not outright saying so.  Maybe they have limits imposed by the AFL on how much they can require of the players? 

    This is industry standard for successful teams.

    Luke Hodge was just on SEN, said that after their first premiership they celebrated for 6 weeks, but it should've only been 3.  They missed the finals the following year.  But that's 3 weeks for winning a flag.

    I wonder how many of our blokes downed tools for 2+ weeks this preseason.  I'm all for having a spell, but it's what you do in that spell that can take you from being good to being great.

    Well let's get back on the right track. I haven't seen much in Dion yet but he has time to develop under our better run FD and stronger list.

    A common thread of successful athletes at the national and international level is that they are self starters and self motivated and they keep themselves in good shape the whole year, they don't go on benders out of season and do not get out of shape.  Their self discipline applies to their physical condition and what they eat and drink.

    I hope you are right but to be honest I am sceptical , have yet to see anything that suggests an AFL talent.

    They are told to rest the body for a couple of weeks and then back into it

    Harmes Trac and Dom Tyson have been in the US but couple of pics of training sessions over there

    Gee OD, you are certainly living up to your moniker lately

    DJ is a young kid , we have time to develop them properly now, he is really good at pressure and tackling, his goal kicking was letting him down, so that is one area he is working on, spoke to him

    Jeff's set shot kicking was getting ropey as well coz he was over thinking it, I asked, he went back to a simpler set up and it improved last year I am sure he can help DJ is this area

    This is the exciting bit for me, we will add 4 more, but we have only scratched the surface on the talent our young players have, some may turn out to be busts, but given time who knows?

    Harmes and ANB come to mind as 2 who were considered 'list cloggers' but with confidence, proper development and game time turned into solid AFL players and still early 20's

    Nice to hear Saty I hope you are right I have no desire to see anyone fail.

    Just giving my opinion from what I have seen.

    PS I have never used the words "list cloggers" and yes I know you were not saying I had. It is offensive just like the word "Spud"

    That's right, rest the body, and it needs resting.  But it's the extent that some rest the liver, that's the point Hodge was talking about.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
