I was there for just over an hour and highlights for me were:

VDB doing fairly intense rehab work - lots of kicking and marking on the lead, followed by hard 200m running - way too fit/quick for rehab colleagues Tom Petty and Bradtke. Trac and Joel Smith did quite a few of the 200m also before heading off early. I've said it before but Joel Smith now has an upper body that will draw the girls to him and he's my tip to play on Jack Darling in Rd 1, assuming he's passed fit by then. And barring more stressies, I reckon VDB could be back with all the boys early December. These two will be our best recruits this year if we get them on the park.

T-Mac looked really good, kicked beautifully for goal and marked well and later was unstoppable in running drills passing Jayden after about 110m of 120m run throughs.

Gawny and Viney both looked in mint condition and matched up on each other in a couple of midfield duels. Bit like Schwarzenegger and De Vito in Twins. Joint captains for sure.

Lever looked good, but can someone please show him how to do leg weights.

O-Mac being O-Mac - I won't go into it but most of you get what I mean.

Dunkley had a red-hot go and don't be surprised if he's in the midfield mix for Rd 1 - he matched up with Angus most of the time and he's learning the trade well. He then led all the early 200m reps again. And there's a prize if you can guess who passed him to win the last rep ... the new Neiter. I reckon the double would have paid $150 as JJ came through for the silver.

And a razor. That thing on his upper lip is disgusting

Preuss has lost a staggering amount of size, did he transfer it to Weidmann? 

Agreed, weid building a frame like Tomahawk, took him a few years to get coming, could be a similar player?

    I didn't see what happened to Petracca but May went over and had a quick chat after he was assessed by a rather pregnant lady. 

    Sweet. We should be eligible for Petracca father-sons shortly after the bye.

    Tom Petty left this mortal coil two years ago. If he was in rehab today I would call that a modern day miracle.

    Maybe he's forced to do this? Rock stars are supposed to be rich but maybe he didn't put away enough in his super. Anyway I applaud him for retraining himself in a different profession. Who says this club can't attract stars?

    Boomer?

    Boomer?

    I think that may be baby-boomer Josh. 

    As a Baby Boomer myself I am being constantly reminded by the 15 year old of my old fuddy duddy ways by him intoning with  "OK Boomer" - it is a thing it seems.  I wear it as a badge of honour!!

    Boomer?

    A person from the baby boomer generation or really anyone who is older than the person using the word, usually used if said person is being annoying or talking shiet about a younger generation. Sometimes used in a joking way among friends. 

    The Baby Boom generation is most often defined as those individuals born between 1946 and 1964.

    Many of the individuals on here born in that era would also identify a "Boomer" as a large male Kangaroo. A number of AFL players have answered to that nickname.


    Whenever a youngster calls me "Boomer", I just tell them to shut up or I'll increase their rent.

    Oh no, I've entered the Boomer echo chamber.

     

    On a side note, anyone know when Bennell will start with the group. Suspect he will slot into the rehab group.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
