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.

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    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
