It's the last Monday training session before the break. If anyone is heading down today we'd love a first hand report.

I'll second that!

    I'm currently living in LA and I just want to say thank you to all of the brave souls making it down to training in the pre season to report back to us. You truly are performing a great service to those of us near and far.

    I thought we were going to cut and paste

    They kicked

    They handballef

    They marked

    Etc

    Another really good session, lots of ball movement drills

    Crossy and at one point Macca,  pounded the rehab group again

    Of the young draftees Sparrow and Chandler seem to be settling the quickest

    Corey Wagner looks like what he is, a player who has been on an AFL list before, neat and tidy skills, handling the training loads

    May got his feet tangled up in marking drill and crashed to the ground, think the Jatz got involved, spent a minute or two on his haunches 

    KK is starting to stand out in the ball movement drills with his 2 way running

    At the end of the session Nietschke and Jordon got some one on one tutoring from Nev Jetta

    Preuss' skills for a big man are very good, have still not seen him miss a kick, no matter the conditions or distance

    Goodwin 'very vocal' today

    On the tech side as some have asked, there is a camera on a pole at one end of the field, they have a side on, they also utilise hand held and now have a drone, so coaches have no shortage of vision

    Will post some pics tonight

    Thanks for the report @Satyriconhome

    When I was at training a few Fridays ago I was looking for the camera on the pole. I noticed the guy behind the goals on the freeway side of the ground with the computer and the joystick but couldn't locate the camera or see a drone in the air.

    Would be interesting to know how in depth they are with reviewing the training footage and whether they use it to in meetings with players to improve their craft or training standards.

    Any changes to the rehab group? Gus still there? Hannan present?

    Hannan was there, have a couple of pics later, no sign of Gus

    Giving no secrets away, they will use a hand held to have a close look at a players kicking action, assume from both a footy and bio mechanics angle, sorry talking to one of the fitness guys about running styles and how they may and change a players if it is impacting their body adversely

    Extract from club tweet re AGM

    Goodwin:

    "I couldn't be happier with how the players have returned from their break.

    "Their intent, physical condition + training standard has been fantastic." 

    This is the first time ever that players have come back in good nick.  Shows it is a really committed group.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
