    So, either something to do with coffee or a product that launches. SpaceX? Starbucks (they do appear to be upping their interest in Australia)?

    Jaguar?

    How is this possible with a competitor already as a sponsor?

    First time at training this year for me. 

    There appeared to be two levels of rehab,  the more serious one contained KK, May, Jones and Walker.  They did heaps of running starting with straight line three quarter pace 100m and 200m runs and at the end they were doing lots of laps.  None looked very inconvenienced.  Hannan was just walking laps, tried to find out what the issue was but got nothing.

    The second rehab group was quite big but my guess is that they were just on light duties after Saturday.  I'm not sure I'll get all of them but Maynard, Petracca, Viney, Lever, Hibberd, Stretch, Melksham, JKH, AVB, Baker and Nev Jetta.  They did lots of handball drills but no running that I saw.

    The rest of the group did very light duties.  Gentle run throughs, a little bit of kicking to leading players and some goal kicking and crumbing snaps.  Today was clearly just a gentle "get the legs moving" session after Saturday.

    Spoke to some of my contacts down there who reiterated what Saty has been saying about rehab but recognized we'd been a bit unfortunate not to have the number of players in full training mainly because it makes doing the drills a bit more problematic. 

    Another positive was that this year all our recruits bar Hore have done the major part of the preseason which will stand them in good stead for the season and is unusual as usually the young guys struggle with the loads and carry injuries from the TAC season.

    Anybody notice anyone training, or are you all getting stuck into free coffee and looking under car bonnets?

    What, exactly, was going on in that Preuss photo? It lends itself to a caption competition. 

    Confused the tree with Maxy, common mistake.

    Yes it was a very light session. I spoke briefly to Justin Plapp who said a number of players pulled up sore after Saturday’s training, guessed they were not used to wet weather footy. He was upbeat about the squad and how they are training, that the rehab group is getting smaller by the week and that Clarrie is back to full training. As KK ran past he commented that he is going to be very good for us this season.

      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?
