Training is on today Wednesday and it's bloody freezing    pics tomorrow or late tonight

Lots of ball movement by hand and foot again

Lever made an appearance just knocking off the rust

May and Jetta again out 'rehabbing'

    Send some of that cold weather up here to Brissie Saty. Bloody hot, windy and smokey.

    Why is May in "rehab"? Is it because as a senior player he isn't meant to be in "full" training yet or is there some other issue?

    Both he, Nev and Nietschke participated in some of the drills, so rehab is just a word

    With the soft tissue injuries he had last season I am glad he is building up slowly, although at the end of the session he was doing 50 metre repeat sprints flat out

    In the video he looks exhausted after a 30 sec jog...  Looks dejected: on haunches, head on hand, looks up, grimaces, head in hands...

    Probably a PTSD flashback to last season.

    But he didn’t spew, so he’s not training hard enough.  Who else wants to write to the club and demand more?

    Looks leaner than last year. That will do me. If he remains uninjured all year that's a win showed in the few games he played how good he can be for us

    I'm happy he's out there training and moving well, I don't care if he's still a long way from peak fitness as long as his base is good enough to get through the summer healthy, but geez our media team know how to make our players look bad.

    Agreed.  I thought it was an odd video to put on line.  It only raises doubts, especially after last year's exaggerated claims about his fitness on start of pre-season.  Would have preferred a video of the repeat 50m sprints, flat out, as Saty described.

    I'm amused by the anxiety demonstrated by quite a few posters on May's general condition. He's here, he's training, he looks to be in reasonable nick. Some blokes put on a few kg's easier than others (eg Buddy... going back further "Wilson" Pickett). Its only injury that I worry about when it comes to blokes who have already had significant AFL careers. On track for a very good season is Mr May!

    The video guy was a 'late' arrival, that is May at the end of 100 minute training session

    It's not enough.

    I want to see him repeat sprinting through quicksand with a tractor tyre under each arm while singing Grand Old Flag in E minor.

    AFL have just posted an article about him. He’s gone full “Namaste” and incorporated Pilates and yoga into his pre-season. Which is a big step up from pizza n’ pints. Seems very determined to get himself right.

    sounds like Dusty did. I expect him to win a brownlow, a premiership and attempt to stab someone with a chopstick.

    I hope that is not the result of one 50.

    He does look leaner.

    From that video May is looking good. Def leaner. Good signs. 

    Gee I hope he can get through 22+ games this year. The media are all over him waiting/hoping for any little failure.

    All the best Maysie. Prove your worth. Due some luck. Can play.

    I liked the way he seemed to glide along at a fair pace for the sustained distance.

    There appeared to be no jarring or heavy compression.

    While he did seem fatigued that wasn't too bad for a training run. It was probably more sustained than most reality chases,and it's better that he builds up the repetitions with shorter recovery periods as we get closer to game time.

    Nice work for a big unit.

    Well really he isn't required to be there until next week, so looks pretty good when you consider it was at the end of the session like the report said. He will be a big asset 2020.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
