I'm not at training but just came across that report. 

Summary:

  • Viney continued his recovery away from the main group, but importantly ran in runners and did some light kicking with rehab coach Cross
  • Max Gawn (corked calf), Clayton Oliver and Tom McDonald were among a group of players who were on light duties, but it is not uncommon for a light one-hour session less than 48 hours after a game.
  • Max says his calf is better this week than last week.
  • Hogan and Hunt (ankle) did not train with the team as they await the results on scans.
  • Jesse Hogan is expected to find out the results of scans on his injured foot sometime on Tuesday morning, but positively was not sporting a moon boot as he arrived at the club.
  • Hibberd looks to be a very good chance of playing against the Eagles
  • Melksham jogged laps at the end of the session and will have to prove that he is right to go during Thursday's main training

Interestingly, Max said Sam Weideman was ready to play vs Sydney had Max not been ready in time.  Good news, in case Jesse doesn't make it for WCE game.

Overall, while there are some recovering from niggles it doesn't sound too bad.  Would love for Melksham to be available.  He adds a bit of class fwd of the centre.

Edit:  Just saw the thread saying Hogan's season is over ?  Weideman's  day has arrived.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
