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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
