For any locals who can make it I’m interested to know if Petracca and Kolo are in the main group after some minor issues in recent weeks?

Have Oliver and Viney joined in?

Whose still in the rehab group?

    For anyone attending today, an update on Aaron Davey’s role for the camp would be appreciated. Looking forward to the reports.

    First time poster. Just joined today. I’m not there today but my brother moved from Melb to QLD 5 years and loves the Dees. He is at training today.

    May has a tight hammy and walking laps. The Weid is clunking some very good marks apparently. I’ll keep them coming.

    Standouts were Jetta, doesn’t miss a tackle and evading skills were impressive. JKH was actually really good, closing fast and hitting targets. Petracca just a bull. Preuss has the strength but lacks the endurance and repeat efforts at this stage. Tmac looking good for another big year. Maynard’s hands are really clean and fast inside. ANB and Salem both looked really sharp and agile.

    They have been doing this at every session since start of pre season, the more ridiculous the better, Hibbo's a close second to Nibbler's

    I understand how others could enjoy that but importing another piece of American culture into our game makes me cringe a bit

    It is a bit, however, some clubs complain about having too many introverts. 

    There's a growing confidence I like.

    Is it a piece of American culture?

    Whatever it is, I know it's nothing new.

    We were doing the same chant (name of club different of course) about 20/30 years back... 

    If it's being imported, it was imported long ago.

    JKH was in the rehab group, along with spargo and KK. It may have been Toby Bedford he was watching.

    Trac was in the main group but Oliver, Viney and Jones were also in rehab.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
