    another weekend with the 7/8 man bench

    Thursday selection is becoming increasingly irrelevant for the Sunday games.

    Pedersen, Spargo, Garlett, Tyson, Hannan ...and another two/three for the bench.

    I assume McDonald gets named on the ground and becomes a late withdrawal

    anyone at training today?

    Tom Mcdonald trained for half the time. He then did a lap of the oval probably as a test, then finished. Christian Petracca a little sore the end of training (a knock during boundary throw ins) Also did a lap to test, appeared to be moving well.

    The Casey players finished 25 minutes early. Those who stayed on the field and pushing for selection included Cam Pederson, Joel Smith, Harley Balic, Lachlan Filopovic, Jayden Hunt and I think Dom Tyson. 

    Rehab group was Sam Wiedeman (who was moving well) and Dean kent.

    I thought Oscar Baker was training very well. Jeff Garlett, Tom Bugg and Sam Frost looking good.

    There.was plenty of talk and support for each other in the training. They appear to be working well as a group. Plenty of smiling and general enjoyment in tbe squad.

    The 7 on 7 match simulation was done with very little space. They did fast spreads and were strong at the contest. Jake Melksham was a ball magnet. Jack Viney running hard and getting to many contest. Bernie Vince the play maker, as was Jordan Lewis. Jake Lever vocal and reading the ball, taking marks and working hard when the ball hit the ground.

    The 3/4 field simulations saw the ball moving quickly through the corridors.  James Harmes taking some beautiful high marks. Neville Jetta shrugging tackles and creating plenty of time for himself. He is very encouraging of Dion Johnstone who is looking very composed and powerful.  

    Simon Goodwin very active, plenty of instructions and encouragement. 

    During the goal kicking drills plenty of  talk and feedback was given by the assistant coaches.

    TMac is ok, and WILL play, as is pretty much confirmed by his inclusion in the final side.

    Medical staff and TMac himself were being precautionary which is understandable on both their parts given TMac’s previous foot issues. The issue identified this week is not a major one, and the area in concern is different to the one that caused him to miss earlier this year. All are just keen to get him through to the bye round for a rest and reassessment to be done then.

    Sauce is as good as can be.

    For those coming to Alice, there is an open training session (from previous years a light workout) scheduled for 3pm, expect it to be very light as the weather forecast is unseasonably warm for this game, Saturday and Sunday looking like the two warmest days we have had in a long time

    Great news about Kenty. His speed and aggro are valued.

    Miss this guy in the firsts - talent with just a bit more control needed.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
