    Can anyone make out what Trac is saying in the last tweet above? Sounds like softer.

    Today was the first time I have seen Austin Bradtke  play in a match simulation.

    I though he acquitted himself quite well, didn't look lost, in one passage he made a lead to a forward flank and spun around to deliver the ball to Bayley Fritsch at the top of the goal square and that was of course in appalling conditions.

    Great report on Bradtke? Do you have reports on other newbies and Trac?

    It is in response to the experts on here who still think it's ten years ago for rehab

    Speaking to Misso, Crossy, Alex S and the players, I get a better understanding of the situation

    My only concern at the moment is Jones

    Lever would like to be a go Rd1, but don't think he will be allowed to

    Saty, can you please provide an update on Melksham?

    Is he any danger to miss round 1?

    Last time I saw him train, he was running laps at a decent clip, he is a valuable player, so assume because he has had a couple of hamstring issues, they have done a complete check, ie back related etc, to ensure no repeat during the season

    Last time I spoke to him he was confident it was just a blip,  but they always are, next week or so should be a true picture

    I understand that coaches just before pre-season finishes may say that the injury is merely incidental or that player x has fully recovered. I am never surprised when the player misses 426 at sometime during or at the start of the year. Then the coach will be interviewed. That interview inevitably starts off with "You have to understand the large amount of pre-season player x was incapable of attending". So I get that you are just going on what they are saying. Im just not as trusting.

    Lever said to me when he was up at sunny Maroochydore that he should be right to go hopefully by round 3-5 and is still 4 was away from joining main training group.

    You guys are acting like 5 year old girls! How about just shutting up for a while and allowing the Demonlanders providing valuable information the chance to have a say.

    I'm only a newcomer to this great site and I can tell you that there are definitely two halves to the communication that goes on here........the fantastic training reports and insights into who is doing what on the training track.....then there is you guys - the purile few that seem to be doing everything you can to torpedo this site with your immature and self serving barbs and retorts.

    Just give it a rest!

    We all love this footy club.....how about concentrating on that!

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
