Hibberds lap running was strong, and not idling by. Was taken out of main group early.  His running strength suggest its precautionary.

He's probably got a slight niggle. I doubt it is serious enough for him not to play otherwise he wouldn't be out on the track at all today and they'd have him doing a fitness test on the day of the game to see if he is right. Most likely he has some tightness or they are still managing him after he did his quad a couple of months back.

    If it was a fresh knee problem someone would have seen the doctors/physios going through the testing motions. Likely just a 'niggle' as mentioned earlier and not taking risks.

    Not concerned at all.

    Hibbo is fine

    Gawn is fine

    Nev is fine

    Salem is fine (for an Arsenal supporter)

    Nothing to see here

    And James Harmes carries off my bowler hat with style

    He was running the straight lines well. Probably only a little discomfort when turning. Precautionary management in my opinion.

    I have visions of a random Melbourne supporter whos been living in the jungles of Bolivia for the last 12 months logging on here and wondering why preseason training is starting so early this year.

    It's an extended pre-pre-season camp in preparation for 2019.

    Weid was last off the rack after completing some extra ruck simulation with a group of 5 which included Viney and Oliver. Other midfielders left a bit earlier.

    Is he getting any taller, 'D17' ? ?

    Did you notice him doing any quick lateral movements?

    Sounds like another 'decoy' in operational pre-game mode. If there was a problem, even a niggle, he would not be asked to achieve that workload; it's like owning a GTHO - go fast on the track, not the backstreets of Collingwood.

    My wife just told me Hibbo did a very intense training session indoors after leaving the track early. Anyone else hear this?

    Mate I use Jurlique sandalwood shampoo and  L'Oreal beard conditioner, my nits would improve his performance not cause him an issue, as long as ASADA don't do a hair test this weekend he's fine

    Moses please, I've climbed the mountain and come back with a message Roosy said Goody is the man

    Nathan Brown was the past player this week, still looked really fit, was joking with Wheels who said he prefers a really good paddock

    Jordan Lewis on 360 gave a 100% guarantee that Hibbo will play.

    Yes me to I have climbed Mount Sinai but I didn’t get any commandments! No mention of Roosy but then again Swooper was coach back then when I made the ascent and he was blessed.

    No lateral movements that I saw, just running laps but at high tempo. Looked fit to go to me.

    I don't think there was ever an issue with Max's calf. The strapping you can see on his calf is to hold a shin guard on for his ruck work, not for his calf. I think this is something the commentators may not have realised Friday night and is being misunderstood...........touch wood.

    I have it on very good authority that you are 100% correct - zero issue with his calf. The strapping is definitely to hold the skin guard in position.

    I'm still keen on your answer to my quiz though ? (You're not allowed to say d) though or I'll have to slap you)

    I'm tempted to say TMac, but I don't want any of them injured.

    • 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.
