I thought Max Rooke had moved on. Am I mistaken? 

He was definitely there.

    I am a fan of Jordon. I think he improved tremendously over 2019.

    He's one I'm watching closely. He's exactly what we're screaming out for.

    Preuss stayed back to do extra goal kicking and forward craft with Max Rooke. Preussy has lost considerable weight in the upper body and looking really fit.

    Skills, drills and role play. Might have a six-shooter in the hip pocket for 2020.

    On Jordan - not to derail - but he is 2 months older than Noah Anderson and 1 month older than Tom Green (pick 2 and 3ish from this year). You have to think another year in the under 18s and he would have been taken a little higher than 33.

    As far as I'm concerned either don't advertise that there's a training on or do it at the right time. I know the club has much bigger things to worry about but it's a multi-million dollar business with a truckload of employees, one of them can update the website.

    They're too busy ringing around at the moment trying to get us all to renew our memberships.

    I’m betting that Million Dollar Jack Martin was also a no show today. 

    But we did get a million dollar report from his brother @kev martin

    I agree, may have a lot of support from Clayton Oliver, as he seems to be paired up with him a fair bit.

    Do you see him as a replacement for Hibberd when the time comes?

    Yes, though haven't seen much of him in a game. Could see Hibberd being his mentor.

    Well, someone will have to replace him in a year or so and Jordon could be the one. 

    Jordon hasn't played a lot of footy and is getting better game by game.

    I could see him as a regular in 2021, when Jetta and Hibberd may be at the end, or gone.

    If we get Murray, he is another one who would be considered for the hbf.

    The coaches see him more as a mid that can play half back

    I was trying to think of players who have bulked up from year 1 to 2 as much as Jordon.

    I think I saw a photo of Jordon and I didn't think he had built up that much.

    Are there any pictures from training so far that someone can post here?

    Saty?

    Pruess could be our secret weapon in 2020... according to Burgess he's lost 8-10 kgs. He clearly showing the team and coaches that he wants to be in the 1sts next year and not stuck down in Casey. Same goes to Omac, he's looking much stronger in the shoulders.

    I do too. He has some of the skinniest legs I’ve seen on an AFL player. 

    Cameron Bruce struggled to put on any muscle.

    Another really good session

    For his admirers Joel Smith joined in some of the ball movement drills

    Hibberd in attendance, another one with a completely different body shape, looks super fit

    Viney, Gawn, Harmes there was well

    Weid, Hannan and Baker just light work

    Nietschke doesn't look too far off, so another new player, doing laps at full pace

    Petracca and Salem there, Trac was probably the stand out during the ball movement drills, Salem was his usual immaculate foot skills

    Another one who is looking good early on is Spargo, stronger and faster, did some really good ball distribution by foot

    Any sign of Langdon?

    No, expect next week, same with Tomlinson

     

    Has someone told you that?

    Given that he played in the GF he would still have a fair bit of time off I would imagine.

    I think in his first interview he said a few more weeks and back into it

    I doubt he would want to start later at a new club, unless he 'has to take' the extra time

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
