Anyone know if training will be on Monday?  They haven't updated the website yet and am hoping I might be able to go.

    Thanks. Check two posts up.

    Any other information you can pass on?

    I asked Max how much weight he has dropped, 9kgs, still skinny at 105kgs

    Tim Smith is tracking really well in his rehab and is more powerfully built than last year

    Standouts in the wet today Hogan, Maynard, Brayshaw

    Rehab today was Kent, Smith x 2, Garlett, Spargo, Hibberd, Tommy Mc

    Thanks Saty.

    What is wrong with Garlett? Is Hibberd still the calf injury sustained in the International Rules series?

    Great news that Hoges performed well in the wet.

    I guess time will tell but I wonder what the cost/benefit will be in terms of weight loss, fitness/endurance and strength. Will the weight loss have an impact on strength?

    Part of the discussion with him, he is stronger, acknowledged the days of the 115 - 120kg ruckman are gone, Sandilands excepted

    There has been a focus on building stronger bodies, Harmes, Billy Stretch, Maynard, Gus all look more powerful than last year

    Is that photo from today? Hard to imagine there was enough sun to cast a shadow.

    It was from Wednesday I believe. I don't think he has put on or lost much in that time.

    Unless he trimmed his beard and removed half a kilo.

    Not the most optimistic injury report I have read.

    Disappointing to see Vandenberg still struggling  in rehab:

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-12-01/ankle-surgery-keeps-young-demon-off-track

    Luckless midfielder Aaron vandenBerg is being monitored cautiously after he missed the entire 2017 season with a stress fracture in his foot.

    "Vanders has been a little bit slow, just with that foot, but he's probably had his best week in rehab this week. We're really hopeful that he can start to progress a little bit quicker," Misson said.

    I've always liked vanders and when fit I rate him as a guy who can snag a couple of goals per game. The problem is he is also one of those guys who always seems to be injured. We've had a lot of very talented injury prone guys over the last 30 years.

    Best of luck to vanders. I hope he can make it on to the park more in the 2018.

    At least we know what's going on with Weideman. At this stage in his career would have liked him to have done a full pre-season, but them's the breaks.

    I think it was an ankle injury that kept the Weid out of most of his U18 year... wonedr if the issue is related to that?

    Great work, Saty. That picture of Billy Stretch at full stretch is outstanding, by the way.

    Billy looks like a bubble-wrapped baseball bat.

    @Satyriconhome this is a great pic mate

    Lever's lightness on his feet might be what makes him such a good interceptor and good in traffic but I wonder if he needs to be taught to literally dig his heels in.

    Looks like they are advocating a wall to me.

    Is that the new defensive wall?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
