    Just a note on training

    They have a grappling/wrestling/tackling coach, he used to appear maybe one session a week if that

    He is there every session at the moment, obviously another area of weakness they have identified

    Just an interesting fact I learnt yesterday

    The AFL now has 1400 yes 1400 accredited 'journalists' on its books

    It has long been known within us media types that AFL journalists outnumber all other journalist types in Oz.  It’s an indictment in the media landscape.  Proper investigative journalism is thwarted by big media to allow the powers that be escape accountability.

    so 2 journos for every listed player (18 x 44 = 792).......no wonder media is overflowing with carp

    They hand out 1400 media passes so they can revoke them if they don't like the coverage.

    But the amount of full time journos covering the game is probably declining. Channel 7 and AFL media give it a fair go, but otherwise I'm sure the age and the HS don't cover the game like they used to.

    Houses still standing in the background of that last pic. Obviously not training hard enough.

    They are Collingwood houses..... ours have already been converted to parkland to train on.

    I think there's no coincidence that our strong run at the end of 18 started around the time AVB got going.

    I'd like to see Dusty try the "don't argue" on AVB on ANZAC Eve.

    Did you notice if Petty was training with the forwards or backs mate?

    To cover the play of 720 players, almost  2 " journalists" ( I use that term loosely ) for every player.

    Do they pay a fee to be accredited ? Is the only reason I could see for having that many.

    He is in rehab at the moment, supposedly out of there in 1 or 2 weeks

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
