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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
