No, expect next week, same with Tomlinson

 

Would love to see Gus on the track early looking hungry. Has he been training at elite facilities overseas like some of the others saty?

    Thanks for the training reports Sayy and the pictures, much appreciated. Someone asked if Jordan had bulked up but I am more interested in Sparrow. In know Burgess said last week that bulk isn't ideal for our game now perhaps he meant they need power and speed without the bulk. Back to Sparrow, last season one of the many commentators was asked, who of our crop of draftees would play senior games for MFC. Without hesitation he said Tom Sparrow who he thought was a steal. He likened him at the same stage to Dangerfield which of course is easy to say and Tom's year was cruelled by a knee injury. I would keep a close watch on this one as the pre season develops.

    Seemed to go on a 'war' tour visiting historic sites, think he is one that, as somebody else has said, would benefit from the mental break, he would still be doing what is required

    Interesting that Nate Jones hasn't appeared also

    316 years old. Never out of shape. Weight of leadership taken away from him. No rush for his old rig. Needs to be selfish for a year to get the max out of himself

    Robbie Flower also had the Coke bottle bottom glasses too. Not the first  impression of a great footballer.

    Our half-back line is going to look like an 80s porn film. I'll refrain from making any fisting jokes.

    Anyone prepared to take a guess at what's in the front of Fritsch's shorts in that photo with Dunkley? Ice? 

    I’d say white tape.

    Angle of photo + six-pack makes it look 3D.

    I am more concerned with Fritta and the impact pre season is having on him, he had a full head of hair yesterday

    Methinks he failed something in the games the boys play and the hair is the penalty

    I was going to mention the 'porn star ' moustache on Lever but now someone else has done it.

    Lever's got legs on him like a racing greyhound .

    Adds about 15 years to his age. I thought he was one of the coaches at first.

    Good to see Viney running around at this time of year, Sparrow is looking the goods and Hibbo is looking in terrific shape.

    Very early stages but some encouraging signs no doubt, compared to last year.

    The players are looking in great shape. Obviously sticking to the program has helped and getting an early start. Sparrow is shaping up to be a powerful unit.

    I'm having some difficulty getting my head around the idea of a "powerful sparrow".  Somehow, those words just don't seem to belong together...!

    I watched Sparrow drilling kicking skills with Crossy last year in the rehab.  He was keeping up with Cross in the precision factors.

    I thought he had very good skills.

    Now, there is a cross sparrow.

    Is Tom Sparrow exclusively an inside mid?

    Trying to workout how he gets  into the team if we have most of our first choice mids available

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
