Hibberd is partial to a bit of soreness, so it’s probably just general management. Fingers crossed. While losing him wouldn’t be ideal, half-back also happens to be where we’re best equipped to cover anyway with the likes of J.Smith and Hunt primed and ready. It wouldn’t be a game changer.

Great to hear Bernie’s firing. If he’s ready it’s hard to see him getting selected in the firsts, but Casey have a huge PF this week and having him in would help enormously.

Did forget to mention that Joel Smith was actually part of the main squad along with JKH instead of the guys who played at Casey when they split off.

    Groups have split to backs, forwards and mids.

    No noticeable player position change. But i reckon Joel Smith will come under serious consideration this week. Moving well and his skills are actually quite good. Hitting targets where some have been a bit hit and miss in these conditions.

    Dazzle, does the Weid have a slight more aura of self confidence about himself? 

    I truly hope he gets a slight swagger from a Friday night, belief in himself should be high.

    Especially if Hibbo has more than a bit of soreness.

    He had some swagger last week. Looked pretty aggro and fired up too. Gave a mouthful to Danger at one point after smashing him in a tackle. I said earlier in the year that he had got much bigger.

    He seems to have got bigger again. Seriously big unit now - with a very long reach. Developing into a handy second ruck as well. Which is perfect as it allows TMac to stay in the forward line, Hoges to play as a roaming center half forward  and max to drop into the hole down back.

    Article up on AFL on Hibberd leaving the track but Melbourne downplaying it saying it’s management and apart of his program (training indoors)

    Anyone have anymore information?

    Very calm and measured he is. 

    But he looks like a man now. The way he moves and marks with his hands outreach reminds me a lot of Josh Kennedy from West Coast.

    Look he wasn't limping or anything. Was doing doing timed laps at a reasonable pace, so i think its more of a management thing.

    From what you saw DD36, would you suggest any players as ins or outs, based upon where they trained or what they did?

    I think we'll go unchanged, but the only change that i could see happening is maybe JKH for Spargo, and Smith for Hibbard if he doesn't get up.

    Other then that i think we'll most likely go unchanged.

    Heard rumours Hibbo looks sore and isn't training with the group.  Hoping to hear some reports on that!

    I thought he didn't look too good. Arrived late as well.

    Great stuff DD36.  Any 'feel' on the vibe / enthusiasm, camaraderie shown this morning?  Are they still up and about like recent weeks?

    They looked switched on and focused. The enthusiasm was there but also very measured.

    Weird isn't it? I'm still waiting for the stories of players barfing on each other, or photos of two moronic fringe players dressed in completely inappropriate costumes, that arguably end up costing them their careers. Training?!

    Nash you left out dwarf tossing. Perhaps that should be throwing, either way inappropriate.

    He said on Triple M prior to our game last Friday that he was expecting to play VFL this weekend.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
