Will there be a training training session at 10am Thursday? If there is I'm going. Do you know if there is Saty?

 

Looking at Seven news last night it looked they had a run on Monday morning so I am guessing they might be training tomorrow morning.

A few rounds into last season and I couldn’t see him going around again (2019) but here we are. He is going to raise a lot of money for the AFL this season.

The official website hasn't updated from last week's listed session. 

It’s on the website now, tomorrow 10.00 am @ Gosch’s

To all reporters, has Viney watch commenced?

Cancelled due to lack of interest?  (Or, just a lack of interest on the part of our intrepid reporters??)

When things are quiet, Ben Guthrie is our reporter and tweeting the players are doing a bit of top up conditioning work at the end of training. 

He also said Viney out there with no strapping on knee but still not 100%.

Can't believe you'd play a player not 100% in the early rounds.

Just baffling.

I dont think Dave Misson will be missed....  


Got there early to see the rehab group come out first, Lever, Louis, Petty, Jeffy, Hore, Viney and to my dismay May! No AVB, JKH or J Smith.

the main group then appeared and thankfully May joined them immediately. Viney joined the main group after about 30 minutes running and exercising with the rehab group. He looks to be moving freely and was OK in the ball drills but who knows. Saw JSmith walking around not in running gear, not limping but not doing any rehab. 

Max had plenty of bandages on his leg but looked in good form. Plenty of one on one aerial drills. T Smith and Baker back in full training. Hore joined the main group after 30 odd minutes in rehab. So it was Lever, Louis, Petty and Jeff fulltime rehab.

Melchum looked fit and was impressive in the one on one drills. Two Poms stood near me when the game simulation was on and they were talking amongst themselves trying to work out what game it was, how the off side rule was working, it’s like rugby but different and that the blues were trouncing the whites. When one said he was going to go to google to find out what sport it is I thought I better intervene; there is no off side, 360 degrees, you can go anywhere, the aim is to kick the ball through those tall posts over there and yes it is a full contact sport. Not sure what they made of it all. Then it was time to leave. Any questions I will try to answer.

They will have had nine months to find a replacement so I would hope they find a good one.

Get the Hawthorn bloke

$cully - busted, broken, forgotten...back by round 2

Wingard - initially our for 4-6, back in 2

Mitchell - thought to be out for the entire season, likely will return if finals are in the offing (and it’s Hawthorn, OF COURSE finals are a better than even money chance)

like how he had O'Meara up for the final ? or how half their backline has been missing for ages ?

I think the clubs with more mature players over the years give us a biased assessment of fitness staff like they are miracle workers. Wingard playing is hardly a miracle, and Scully has yet to perform at AFL level again. so we will see. same with Mitchell.

I assume you and @dazzledavey36 have your resumes in?

There was nothing wrong with Viney, did whole session

It was a first 'proper' game for everybody on Saturday, the only one not to make a mess was Salem

I'd actually love an @dazzledavey36 training report that mirrored his emotions from a game day thread.

Someone like Billy Stretch misses a target and he can go off his rocker, then Clayton Oliver beats three players to a ground ball and he declares him the greatest player of all time... and so on.  It would be bloody brilliant.

Get down there, dazzle.  Training needs you!

Yes, just like last season when you said Viney was fine before he was shut down for 12 weeks.

Ben Guthrie said VIney didn't look 100%.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
