Finished a job early and have to wait until 11:30 for my next meeting near the MCG. Driving up Punt road and noticed the club getting ready for training. Perfect!

Boys just walking out now

Bombers would be happy with that.

Yeah just a short sharp skills and runaround session. Today. Most looked fairly clean with disposals and good on the move. 

Viney probably wasn’t moving around as fast as he could have. 

Noticed Hunt was doing a lot of leading in the 50 and also lots of snaps at goal practice. 

Also generally we were practicing a fair bit of end to end quick transition play

How were the bombs into the forward line?

Hope they practiced this lots as they didn't seem to work last weekend.....

Sounds underwhelming Robbo but a humid morning and it is a day before the game so a tune-up is in order.

We will need run and sharp skills to beat the blood stained hirds.

Just a tune-up, Hemingway??  Based on the way the old bus was mis-firing in the first two games, I woulda thought something more akin to a complete engine overhaul might be in order!

Ho hum Barrie I agree, but it may take far too long for a complete engine overhaul.

Remember those handwritten signs on the back windows of cars, saying "running in, please pass."

Isn't that what was written on the banner that our blokes ran through before last week's game...?  LOL

The violins will be out if the boys are out of their groove again tomorrow night.!!!!!!!!!!

Yes agreed Brownie. Not sure why we'd have forwards working on their leading. Vertical leaps or turn and running more appropriate.

Haha yes. Maybe even chasing people hopelessly back out of the forward line.

If only Jesse was here. He could teach the boys how to make a vain attempt to pull a free kick when completely outnumbered.

This tactic worked at least once every two games.

6 x forwards divided by 2 games equals 3 free kicks in front of goal!

Oh wait. We usually only have one forward in the forward 50 when going forward.

Same went for a lot of 'great' men - and women. He's also, unfortunately, associated with the Nazis which is total lunacy because he died in 1883 and most people who make this association seem to be unaware that the Nazis appeared in Germany in the 1920's...

 

May likely to be out for three games 

“He’s probably likely to miss the next three games - Essendon, Sydney and St Kilda,” Misson told Melbourne Media.

“He’s had some good improvement in the backend of this week which we’ve been encouraged by, but it’s about setting him up for a good year.”

Pretty crappy start if you ask me

And as most of those people know the Nazi party sprang from absolutely nowhere and had no interest in the themes of a lot of his music or his political and antisemitic writings on music.  Not total lunacy I'm afraid.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
