Line drills have finished for now and it’s in to some repeat sprints 

the new players split from the main group, a couple of academy kids joining in, both solid sized lads 

Bedford and Chandler have gone hat free. Sparrow the backwards visor. Jordon the regular visor. The rest with the white caps, Bradkte the only one going backwards .

From the main group Spargo, Fritsch, Wagner, Hibberd and JoelSmith are backwards cap guys

DS, you are setting a whole new training report genre.

Originality par excellence. Its a game changer. 

Going to be very difficult for others to follow.

    Excellent reporting as per usual @DeeSpencer. 

    Were the rehab group just running laps? Were any of them doing ball work (of the non contact variety obviously)?

    I think I saw all but Lever, Vanders, Oscar do ball work. 

    Melk and Hore who seem teamed up, as well as Hunt did kick to kick in a triangle.

    Others with some kick to kick and handball stuff.

    I am interested to know how they will train for the 6:6:6.  (I know the devil is in the detail, but it seems like on name alone, this system should suit the Demons?)

    I would be keen to hear if we are doing specific drills for this, or if this will come much later just before JLT??

    I was idly watching the History of the Eagles the other night when Glenn Frey said we are the best band in the world but need to get Joe Walsh to join to give us more balls and we will be AWESOME. I thought to myself "Steven May...".

    Tmac appears to have put on size. Has his right elbow strapped up. Did he have an issue with this during the season?

    Probably strained lifting his wallet Mr. Shadow.

    • 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?
