    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
