Very regimented, orderly, squad-related running. Just like Kapooka, only red'n'blue! Appears to be a good sense of role, function, association, man-to-man identity, purposeful and controlled. Wish I was there...nice video.

    I got there at 9:05 and they were already training. Didn't see Melksham at all the rest were there. Into rehab was Jones not sure if it was a light day for him or not. Out of rehab O.Mac, Jetta, Petracca, Hunt, T.Smith, Hore and Harmes. 

    It was just a light session based on skills no real contact work or match simulations. Maynard copped a knock to the hip that needed attention but seemed fine afterwards.

    Clarry will be back on the 4th of Feb the rest can't be too long, Hannan had no strapping to his knee which is a positive.

    Plus, Weideman and Preuss are champing at the bit, Hunt is on fire with improved teamplay skills and passing, Stretch is up and about and running, driving the ball ever-forward with pace. 

    ...and sulky puss is gone....

    Anyone got any concrete info about Gus? Why the rehab?

    The AFL has stepped in and said that we've got to give other players a chance at winning this years brownlow

    Think its good players dont reveal their injuries to questions by supporters. Only provides information for the opposition. Hope the club tells them to be discreet.

    One other player who I didn’t pick up (and it could be because of his size) was Charlie Spargo - did you notice him?

    Charlie definitely trained WJ. Got a photo with the kids afterwards.

    Spargo was there he made a mistake during drills and the whole group had to do 10 push ups. I don't think Walker was there.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
