From: Salem, JKH, ANB, Weids, Hibberd, May (all looking ok, ANB back in main group just dodged the match simulation drill)

Rest of injury list: Hannan had the knee tested, but continued in main group, KK going ok, No Petty, Lever off early, Lewis (Ok but susp). No sight of rest (too cold to bother)

On a completely different angle, how good is it to see that panel of quality sponsors behind Goodwin? All are big, international players (except maybe IG). Not only does it make us look like a professional club, but anyone who's new to the code seeing that panel should be in no doubt that this is a club of quality.

We need to start winning LDC or they will drop off. Sadly everyone loves winners, losers not so much.

Sigh...such predictable negativity...I would imagine they would completely understand the vagaries of Business ...matters that are sometimes just out of your control no matter how smart you are or how much talent you have ...I’m sure they can see the bigger picture ...to quote an oldie but a goodie ...”Rome wasn’t built in a day “  !

I hope we wait at least another week on Lever.

Not playing out the game on the weekend, it would be better if he had a bit more managed match time before coming in.

Having read the training report it seems he may have to hold off anyway.

There was nothing wrong with the weather

Thought the consensus on here was all AFL listed players shouldn't need to be coached to kick, they should know how to

KK has now gone the helmet, nice looking on as well

Lever was fine, running unhindered, could be all smoke and mirrors, assume it will be no risk policy

Any truth to reports Hore is looking likely to miss a few weeks? Few social media pages reporting this

Trained in the rehab group and was pictured with ice on the calf after training. Optimist says it's just a corky and he'll play. Pessimist says 4 to 6.

I watched him closely and while I have no medical qualifications or experience whatsoever I feel comfortable offering my opinion........

He trained the whole session but was only in rehab group, strapped calf, but moving pretty freely doing running drills. Finished up later part of session with some kicking to leading target ANB, and then some shots on goal.

If he had a strain and wasn't going to play then surely wouldn't have been out there or limited to just light exercise...?? It was sooooo frrrzzzziiinnn cold ❄️

My take was just getting the cork mobile, then obviously icing after training. I give him the all clear to play!...

I'm down to the last 4-6 applicants! ?

If you get the gig whatever you do don't agree to a medical exam from the club. They'll recommend surgery and you will stuggle to perform at your best for the next 12 months

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
