A snippet from a Ben Guthrie article on afl.com.au from this mornings training.

While McDonald's determination to keep presenting at the footy was noteworthy, Kade Kolodjashnij's foot skills; Bayley Fritsch's aerial ability, as well as his decision-making, and Michael Hibberd's run and carry were among the other highlights of the match practice.

Article also states umpires were there to officiate the match practice part of training. 

Would like to know more about which players participated and starting positions in this match practice.

    Oh noes.  He can't put weight on either foot.

    All his toes must be shot.

    Fritsch had a great first year. He's already got the skills and smarts. Track watchers, has he put any size onto that small frame over summer?

    Good to hear KK's foot skills are standing out already. He's going to be a surprise packet to most and the wingman we've been crying out for.

    Harmes, who is no slouch, was doing a a bit of one on one with Hunt, Hunt just used his zip to break free, after about six goes, Harmes out loud  'he's just too quick' to everybody's amusement

    Harmes is no slouch either! Hopefully Hunt can stay fit and build on his early career form. He looks to have put on some muscle in the upper body over summer. He could become a serious weapon for us, and is probably the player I'm most excited to see in 2019.

    Could Hunt play from out of a F/ward pocket, LT ?   Has the lead speed.  Has the leg.

    But does he have the hunger and desire to put up with being hit in the back?

    The toe issue is obviously far worse than we feared. Tommy can't even use his legs to get around the gym.

    He was swung forward against the Hawks a few years back and turned the match for us there, so it’s not the worst idea. 

    Personally I’d like to see him settle on the wing. Ideally him and KK own the wings, so we have good running power, elite pace in Hunt and elite kicking in KK.

    Michael Hibberd's run and carry

    This aspect of his game has always been a strength - just the bloke to regularly take that ball out of the backline in 2019 - if it can ever penetrate near the last line of defence - with our threatening forward line running berserk into spaces or midfielders doing their flat-out run and possession routines nearing the goalmouth. This team offers so much ... like tanks on the battlefield ... clearing riff-raff, penetrating deeply, controlling direction and approach, sheltering the forward eschelons like assault pioneers ... can't wait ...

    Oh yeah. Don't misunderstand me , I want him to settle as well and I think centreling is his area...  but I'm imagining of a lineup, IF 'Maxy' or 'Breuse' play deep forward with Weide.

    Then what options do we have alongside them.   To me the talls to shelter Weide, to aid him marking...  but who leads to open up the deep forward area.

    I think Hunt has the skill-sets, speed and agility, for that setup...   similar to DeGoey in this regard. 

    Aside from that setup, I have Hunt playing regualr centreline.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
