Will be interesting to see who takes Lever's spot. The Bear is a cert considering his form in the twos and Smith being dropped but Lever's replacement considering the ins listed last night is a little more unclear.

If anyone can give us any insights from training that night clear this up then it would be appreciated.

    I hope they avoid debuting Petty this week. From the reports it sounded like he had a poor week last week, and I rather a young guy coming in to be playing well. We might be flying but can't flirt with form against an in-form Collingwood

    Ben Guthrie reporting Pedersen, J Smith, Stretch and Garlett are training with the AFL squad.

    Hannan has strapping on his knee and is on light duties with Gus. Some rumours circulating Gus is carrying a sore calf.

    Was still a great crowd considering the weather. Sausage sizzle and hot coffee easily best afield in these conditions

    - Cam Pederson looked in ripping touch. Beat TMac at least three times in some one on one drills. Looks a lock for Monday.

    - Joel Smith did some nice things although disposal was a tad ordinary at times. Don't mind the coaching group backing him in for the Lever role as I think he has more upside than Frost.

    - Mitch Hannan had his knee strapped and rotated between rehab and the main group. Didn't seemed too restricted by his injury. Obviously, expect Jeff Garlett to get the call up should he not feel 100% for QB. Speaking of Jeffy, seemed to be doing most things right aside from a bullet pass that landed directly in the hands of the opposition player (Charlie Spargo) during some match simulation. Sort of sums up Jeff's season so far

    - Kent looks very close to rejoining full training. Participated in a couple drills with the main group.

    - Jetta was Jetta. Good lord, he is a marvel to watch in one on one drills. Never gets beaten, even when he was matched up against the likes of Hogan and McDonald. Always broke even at the bare minimum.

    Happy to fill in any blanks if anyone has any questions.

    Did Brayshaw join the main group today? Some talk he was on light duties.

    I believe Gus was in rehab when I arrived. Was participating in main group drills by the time I left. Don't remember him being too hindered by anything.

    I saw the photo before I saw who posted it, I knew it was you ET. My kind of humour, well played sir.

    You are one quirky dude, but I guess you are from the Wild West. 

    Inbreeding or just humans and creatures living alongside one another in perfect harmony?

    Training Friday
    A morning to harden the team with cold wind and light rain.
    The Casey team weren't there. 
    An extenened rehab with the light duty group. Mitch Hannan, Angus Brayshaw, Tim Smith, Jake  Melksham, Dean Kent and Corey Maynard. I didn't notice if Melksham or Tim Smith joined the main group. The rest did except for Corey who was increasing his work load.
    Simulations played with the slippery ball. Spread was good. Cam Pederson was hitting up well. Joel Smith was round about. Tom Mcdonald looking in shape. Jesse Hogan big and strong around the field. Max Gawn zoning and chasing everyone. 
    Some individual goal practice with Bernie Vince, Nathan Jones, Jesse Hogan and Michael Hibberd who joined in later. 
    Harrison Petty and Jayden Hunt not on the field. Jeff Garlett doing his stuff.
    Petracca and Jesse last to leave field after shots at goal.

    Wonder why Petty and Hunt weren't there considering they've both been named?

    Possibly with the Casey team

    If that's true, not doubting you, then it would seem that neither would be playing on QB. 

    Probably emergencies and Monday still away off

    By the end it was freezing but glad of the hot coffee. Really impressed with Oscar who really has some speed. The guys really looked like they were having fun out there.

    Oscar Baker or McDonald?

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
