    Warning: I'm going to training today with @Bitter but optimistic. 

    I'm very fearful of what outrageous get up he'll be sporting. 

    Won't be difficult for trackwatchers to spot him. 

    More later.

    My egg and bacon sandwich is delicious
    The coffee is not too bad either
     
    Going to be a warm and windy session, and that's just me

    On days of extreme heat and wind, don't know why you would not bring forward training to an earlier time, such as 8.00 and be finished by 10.00. 

    If I was planning to run or ride my bike this morning I would be out early.

    Oscar Baker took Max down in match sim tackle. Gave him a bit of lip too. Good on him

    Caught up with BBO. What a disgrace. Took 10 mins to get away from him...

    Tim Smith getting his lower right leg looked at. 

    Match sim quite impressive given the strong breeze. Max took a towering mark 25 out. Tmac running quite freely, no strapping on knees

    Hope these were supplied by the MFC as official AFL sanctioned gear.

    Didn't realise KK was still so hampered by his injury. Looks unlikely for round 1. Saty or Moony can you try and whisper in his ear or whatever and find out when he thinks he'll be playing.

    Thanks for the reports. Getting down to the pointy end now.

    Who out of the following were in match sim; Viney, Oliver, Jones, Melksham, May?

    I thought it was common knowledge that KK would struggle to make Round 1. I think we might even see Lever before KK.

    All, I think. Hard to spot everyone when they have caps on and some with white vests

    All of them were that I saw. 

    KK said that he pulled up a bit tight last week. So they’ll back it off for a week or two then build him back up. Didn’t say exactly when as he probably doesn’t know himself. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how much progress he makes in the next few weeks.

    Tell you what, Kade Chandler has a beautiful left foot. He was doing a skills sess on the side with Bradke and Bedford. Nailed it every time

    Were the other rookies (James Jordon and Tom Sparrow) taking part in the match simulation?

    I think so Andy. Jordan has a very good size about him in terms of build.

    Saw Milkshake take a couple of ripping contested marks in the sim. After one of them he turned and speared a 50m pass inwards to Weid (I think). A thing of beauty

    Chandler might be small, but he can fly! Climbed over Bedford to take a terrific mark

    Got to say, nearly everything JKH had done had been very good. 

     

    I agree Moon. I reckon he’ll have a breakout year. He played some good games toward the end of last year and he was just about our best in the practice match last week. He looked the goods today.

    I really like the little I have seen and heard of Chandler.  We seem to be drafting players that have had to work bloody hard to get a chance (AVB, Frisch, Sparrow), and with pretty good results.  Chandler seems to also fit that bill.

    Keen to see him in a game situation because from what I've seen of him at training he's energetic and has clean skills. That's a nice combination.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
