Let's cut to the chase - Gawn did the full session.

Rehab - T Smith, Billy, Tom Sparrow, Melk.  Billy was running laps and still looks a while away, Tommy and Melk doing some kicking and TSmith mainly running from what I saw but I was a little late.

Unsighted: TMac, Hore, Neita, Walker, JSmith, AVB, KK, Garlett

The rest all appeared to do the whole session.

A real mix of drills, three quarter ground drills, centre clearance work, goal kicking for the forwards, specialist ruck, high marking for the talls, spoiling for Jetts, specie practice for Hannan.

I had a good look at Dunkley and liked what I saw.  Good by foot and clean hands.  Other than that just a normal training session.

    Thanks mate! Best part of this site!

    May I interrogate a little...

    Fritta look ok to play this week?

    Thoughts on Jetta playing VFL or AFL?

    Who was leading the technique instruction for the goal kicking?

    By any chance, did May train with the forwards at all?

    Cheers!

    Fritta did the full session training with the mids from memory.  Rawlings was with the forwards as they did the goal kicking which consisted of boundary line snaps and kicking to the front of the goal square from 50 out on the boundary.  May didn't train with the forwards.

    Jetts did the full session but as for playing AFL or VFL I've no idea.  I'd play him AFL if he's fit enough but really I've no more idea on that or the other changes than anyone else.

    Have hopes for this kid. More games this year, another pre season and some concentrated gym work could see him become a regular.

    I noticed yesterday at the jnr clinic that they have added an extra set of posts about 1m inside the normal goals posts I assume to help with goal kicking. Not sure how long they have been there as I haven't been to training since preseason. Just thought it was an interesting tool.

    This is from the afl site

    Lever and Jetta will also return, having both dealt with knee injuries this season.

    Both made their comebacks via the VFL last week. Lever is set to play just his second AFL match this year, while Jetta will return after three months on the sidelines.

    Despite their lengthy spells out of the team, Goodwin said he has no hesitation in picking both for Sunday's important clash at Marvel Stadium.

    They were at the city road end when I went in preseason around the end of January.

    Making a comeback to improve goal kicking?

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
