Jacko reminds me of Fitzy when he first arrived at the club a few years back, with that massive mop of hair!

    Could these also be their official numbers?

    24 -Kysaiah Pickett

    17 - Luke Jackson

    20 - Trent Rivers

    Almost certainly, although the jumper sizes would also fit very well with JKH, Frost and Maynard. We might operate just like local Footy, you get the number that fits!

    Pickett really is small going by that picture.

    Heā€™s not tall but remember heā€™s standing between Greg Stanford and Matty Egan.Ā

    no.24 would be so fitting for Pickett as an exciting demon forward. Hopefully adds to the previous highlights of Robbo/Jurrah in that jumper.

    36 would be better, following Flash and Jeffy

    Thanks to those who gave feedback fromĀ training today?

    There has been nothing on the Melbourne website.Ā 

    Who ever is in charge of the media at the needs to be shown the door.

    And of course on the afl site the filth and the bogons seem to be the only two teams in the afl?

    But are they "full time" when they're doing under 50% of preseason?

    Nope if you read the fine print, training times and locations are subject Ā to change without notice.

    And if you read the next line:

    . Please check this page on the morning of each session toĀ confirm the time and date.

    Iā€™m fine with them not even advertising regular sessions. But if they are going to do it they should get it right. Donā€™t bother with a members forum with fancy PowerPoints until you master the basics.Ā

    I wonder what the reasoning for that is?

    They finally reviewed that PF and saw what a team can do it it gets an hour's head start. What if WE do that, they thought. Train as you play.

    I know you do. That's ok. Each to their own.

    On Oliver, when 16 of the best 22 players have surgery pre season the best and fairest becomes a little easier to do well in.Ā

    You also have the Players Association and some past players advocating Ā for a shorter pre season, which is exactly what those interruptees had

    Which is correct?

    So the player's desire for a longer off-seasonĀ is so that they don't need to call it aĀ surgeryĀ interrupted preseason?

    Bit of a Stretch I would've thought.Ā

    That's fine Saty. But last year the *other* clubs didn't have shorter pre-seasons.Ā Though even "shorter"Ā is a misnomer, it was largely non-existent for many, and thus the team as a unit, which more than anywhere else is where we paid the price.

    Astonishing that someone who spends so much time watching training doesn't understand why they do it.

    Imagine what he might have achieved with a full pre-season. Brownlow?

    There's a MASSIVE difference between having a slightly longer break before you begin your proper preseason at full capacity; and having major surgery that means you can't even live your normal healthy lifestyle, let alone do any kind of football or fitness training (which they all do even during non-official training times) before carrying that injury through the rest of preseason as it impacts your preparation; not just for fitness, but for skills, connection with your team mates, learning of game plans and structures and of course new rules that change all of those things from the previous seasons.

    Honestly, what a silly comment.

    • 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 CampbellĀ with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprenticeĀ Will VerrallĀ 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.

      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.

      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?
