I wonder if this was pre-incident? @kev martin @DeeSpencer

 

Yes, pre-incident. It happened about 15 to 20 minutes before the end of the full session. I think he will be ok as he wasn't making much of it. He also waited around for his mates to finish up.

PS. They all went off to eat lunch together at a buffet.

    Only on Demonland can you get such detailed reports.

    I thought it was listed as groin.

    You could be  are right. From MFC Website Harry Petty (groin) pulled up sore from last week’s game

    I haven't noticed anything (injury wise) for this year but I thought he missed the last two games with a knee injury. Others may be able to clarify.

    Baker has a groin injury and hopes to resume straight after X-mas.

    Spargo injured his ankle ligament last Friday - unless he did them badly, should be back next week.

    I think Petty had a minor knee clean-up post-season.

    Not sure why Smith wasn't there, but he looked really strong last Friday. He has bulked up more and was working with backs - if fit will play on Jack Darling in Rd 1 IMO.

    Most impressive today was Ed Langdon - ran hard, kicked well and looked eager.

    I beg to differ. If it was a detailed report we'd not only know where they went for lunch but what each person had. And who paid.

    Normally most go to Edwins and have a pasta salad or similar, today most were in, grabbed a coffee only and out again

    Today's technical whinge:

    Steve May skills more marks than he should because he doesn't get his hands close enough together and he also doesn't allow enough cushion by way of bending his elbows. Locking your elbows makes your arms stiff and heavy, keeping them bent allows for more movement and you can pluck the ball from the air.

    Weid's and Tommy Mc have far better technique.

    I'm not quibbling with your technical description (I wouldn't know), but are you confident from a still image that you can draw that particular conclusion?

    Moonlighting, working behind the counter, to get that inside info, huh, Saty?  Well done!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
