The club wants you to RSVP? It might provide a little bit of data, but I doubt it would be of much use. I assume it's not compulsory, but it just seems odd to me to be asking in the first place.

    Perhaps they want to know for catering purposes. Those egg and bacon rolls don't just magically appear out of thin air.

    Be interested to see what's happening with the following tomorrow:

    Whether Viney and Oliver are nearly ready to rejoin the main group.

    What's going on with Jones and Melksham.

    And I'm hoping Petracca and Brayshaw are in full training after "on again off again" pre seasons.

    I’m keen to hear how all of those in rehab are doing now that the AFLX Draft is done and dusted.

    They're not out of the woods yet. They could still be co-opted by the AFL if they're deemed fully fit and the other teams wise up to our strategy and pull players.

    I'm really interested to hear who is still in the rehab group just over a month out from Round 1.

    Players, spectators or both WJ?

    So leading up to the Sunshine camp they told us the majority of our re-habbers would be reintroduced into the main group.

    I'm not sure if that was the case.

    ?

    Went for a quick look, torrential rain and cold hard to really get a gauge on what was going on. Viney, Oliver and Brayshaw all took part in match simulation. Gawn and Preuss had a decent battle but you can see Max is just a much better footballer. Harmes and Salem moved well and Weideman looks to have put on a bit of size.

    Other stuff off the top of my head: Lever and May ran laps, Jones was walking laps didn't do much at all and Hannan was in the gym not sure how much training he did. Vanders also looked strong at training which is good to see from him this time of year. I didn't see KK but he may have been there.

    This is worrying.

    I was going to take my little girl but rain was coming in sideways so gave it a miss. Interested to hear from anyone that braved the weather.

    I think it’s more worrying for Jones rather than the teams fortunes.

    Back on 'Trac': Gun Demon impresses in match sim

    “Emerging Demon Christian Petracca shook off a recent knee issue to complete the entirety of Melbourne's bruising session at a wintry Casey Fields on Saturday.

    Many Demons remain on modified programs after the club's late start to the pre-season, but Petracca was one who managed to take part in everything, including match simulation.”

    Players who ran laps - Nathan Jones (hamstring/back tightness), Jack Viney (ankle/foot), Steven May (hamstring), Jake Lever (knee), Clayton Oliver (shoulders)* and Jake Melksham (hamstring).

    Players on limited duties for at least part of training - Aaron vandenBerg*, Oskar Baker (hamstring), Corey Maynard, Joel Smith, Tim Smith and Category B rookie Guy Walker (shoulder).

    * later joined match simulation.

    “The heavy and consistent rain made it difficult to assess match simulation, especially for Melbourne's taller players, but forwards Sam Weideman and Tom McDonald still had their moments.”

    They years of Jonesy carrying us have caught up with him it seems

    We don't need him and our oldies in top flight, early in the season...  we'll be needing them through the heavy going, Winter and into Spring.  We'll need the extra leadership in the last 8 H&A matches.   The shuffling of the deck.

    Finals is another matter, depending on ground conditions, IMO.

    They say Trac was the pick of the bunch but don't comment on what he did. I agree with the idea that Jones isn't important for the earlier rounds, would much rather get games into Baker and Sparrow.

    Sounds like Baker will be monitored very closely and carefully. That last hamstring injury must be been a cracker.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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?
