    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
