Half the team begin with goal kicking some defenders at the other end and the rest are in the rooms.

It 's a big squad on Gosh's.

 The lankier bodies are put through angle changing run through as the stocky type are using bands to restrict run.

Lever in rehab.

Neville Jetta in main squad as is Michael Hibberd.

Christian Pettraca appeared a Little proppy.

An all in drill of moving ball by hand looked great. Clean and precise ball use.

The simulations nearly full contact. With a lot of niggle from the defenders. The simulations finished with the forwards and backs (Rawlings setting up well), in the fifty and the midfield on the wings or centre, competing for ball and connecting as the coaches instruct.

The final drills were angle changing sprints, some rugby style ball movement and tackling and the one on one contested mark.

Oscar Baker had a light training session.

Simon Goodwin working with the small halfbacks, spoils, hand and body positioning.

There was also plenty of peer assistance to the younger players from Jack Viney, Jordan Lewis and Max Gawn.

Overall, a long hard training in beautiful full sun of a Melbourne winter.

    Inside info @Lord Nev?

    Unfortunately not, just usually a dead giveaway if you see them getting super excited for someone on a Thursday so was hoping Kev might have been able to word us up.

    Goody said he wasn't far away in an interview, which might explain the interest.

    Brendan McCartney says we will win the next six.

    Braydon Preuss ran out with the second group. He looked a little nervous though up. Missed a few snaps and ground ball gets.

    Thought JKH a chance and Michael Hibberd to play.

    Didn't notice anything about Dunkley

    Hey @kev martin was Macca out on the track watching/interacting with the players?

    Yes he was. There is no obvious change to the coaching to an outsider except that Rawlings is prominent as the forward coach.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
