    Good to see Harmes, Viney and Hunt back early.

     

    Good moral support for the younger players.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see most of the team back next week, before their expected date, which iirc is in about 10-14 days.

    Will be interesting to see who does come back early, I know they don’t need to but it does make a bit of a statement if they do

    Yep, after last year's off-season a statement needs to be made by the players.  No better way to do so than show intent by coming back early, fit and ready to go.

    The only statement I need to see LH is a win in round 1.

    One step at a time od. 

    As far as wins go, I'll be looking for 8w/4l or better at the bye!

    You have way more courage than me LH after this year I am too afraid to try to work out wins and losses. I would probably end up with a 4 win 8 losses result.

    Lucufer.   A typical MFC near enough is close enough attitude - nothing wrong with aspiring to 12w /0l at the bye.  ??

    mono it is a sad fact that we are talking about the MFC. Half a century of tradition cannot be ignored.

    Yes, impresses supporters. But if players are following their programs, has zero impact on anything else.

    Maybe, maybe not.

    As I wrote the word 'intent' I remembered how Steve Waugh used it to motivate his team at the start of his captaincy, one of the most successful for the baggy green in the modern era.  Each and every player went onto the field 'with intent' regardless of how they felt in the moment.  Over time that became a psychological advantage for the baggy greens.  I would love to see our guys train and then play 'with intent' every game:  intent to tackle, intent to chase, intent to compete etc from which real and inferred pressure will (I hope) be created.

    I've concluded that your field is psychology so take it easy on this mere mortal, amateur who knows only a little about motivation of teams.

    I'm actually pleased that after years of Jones coming back early (from what I can recall) he's having a well-deserved break. I think most of us have moved on from any expectation that he will have an impact next year, but being free of the captaincy (and it has been a pretty tough tenure) and finding a fixed role might see him rejuvenated for a final tilt in 2020.

    Speaking of intent:

    Gawn, the best player at the club and easily in the best 18 players in the league by a country mile makes it to day one of training for the juniors,  2 weeks before he’s required.

    Meanwhile we have others talented players on paper  (one who had a pathetic end to the season) that could be stars, are still on holidays overseas.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
