Professionally approached training. The coaches had the field well organized for drills with player skills and involvement abundant.

Light duties included, Jack Viney, Jake Melksham, Joel Smith, Mitch Hannan, Christian Salem and Tom Mcdonald. 

Vieing for the Jake Lever position looked to be either tall or small. Dion Johnstone, Sam Frost, Petty Harrison,  Harley Balic, Jayden Hunt,  Josh Wagner. All having exteneded training and being the last off the track. Along with Declan Keilty, Lachlan Filipovic and Sam Weideman.

The rehab squad was Cory Maynard and Dean Kent.

Simulations were well controlled clean football. 

Some goal kicking practice had video been taking for later analysis. 

Coaches stole the day with Max Rook absorbing the beautiful winter sun rays on his scalp with his new crew cut.

    Did Cam Pedersen train? He had a nasty knock in the Casey game.

    Did Tim Smith train? Cheers

    Cam was interviewed on a ‘competing’ Demons podcast on Monday. He said he was knocked out for about five seconds during the VFL game. Apparently the first time in his life he has been concussed and he has pulled up well, is training and available for selection. 

    Apparently Goodwin has acknowledged to Cam that he is playing very well and banging on the door. He said Goodwin had some sympathy for his situation and that there will be injuries and form lapses amongst the players and so Cam just has to keep playing well. He was the Captain of the VFL side on Sunday. 

    Cam also said that at this level the players aren’t as strong or fast and he thinks he has most players measure in a marking contest. 

    He is studying to become a teacher and sounded realistic about his contract situation joking instead of a two year deal he thought a month to month deal more likely.

    He seemed like a really good bloke. I hope he gets an opportunity at the senior level, through sheer weight of form, at some time this season.

    Sad.

    You never know. We could have a major injury and he ends up playing in a winning GF (to be clear, I mean with us, this year)

    Sounds like he also has a healthy sense of humour, as well as a realistic appreciation of where he's at...!

    On the contrary, I think it's terrific.  We have a bloke who loves the club and understands the situation he is in.  It sounds like he is enjoying his footy, is ready to contribute when needed and is going places off the field as well.  Can't ask for much more than that!

    Agree, you can have cover players on your list, he is one. Vince has stated he would play as long as the club lets him, even if it meant on small wage and knowing only injuries or super form get him an afl game.

    Pedos form also pushes Smith and Weids to higher requirements to stay in the team.

    Wonder where that leaves him as a possible Lever replacement.

    Not an issue - in the context of the MFC, "light duties" means changing the light globes in the gym.

    Hence, the question how many MFC footballers does it take to change a light globe? (Answer is 6)

    Joel Smith executed his part admirably and is still in the mix for Monday.

    I would love to see Cam play in a winning Grand Final. He is that type of a bloke.

    Pedersen also said about Goodwin

    • He doesn’t have an office and sits in an area with the other coaches making it easy to have ‘chance encounters’. “Goodwin doesn’t hide away in an office”. You can have a joke with him. 
    • He is unrelenting about being competitive. If you are not competitive then you won’t play in a Goodwin side. Cam said there were flashier players who could be playing but Goodwin wants good, honest contributors. 
    • Goodwin is big on the what you are outside the club, the ‘higher purpose stuff”

    Doesn’t rule him out for this week against the Pies, surely?

    So, if Tim doesn’t make it it would seem a comp between Peds and Weed, though the more I think about it could Weeds go to “CHB” as much as such position exists today?

    I actually think CHB is Weids calling, looked comfortable down there last game he played if my memory is correct, took some nice marks.

    • 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.
