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?

    Next saty will be saying an interrupted preseason mightĀ negativelyĀ impact on Tomlinson's season.

    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.

    • 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

      Itā€™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 Ā 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 measlyĀ 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?Ā  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.
