    Haven’t seen AVB or Petty but I’m on the other side of the ground to the rehab group. 

    Melksham also with the main group.

    Isn't Wednesdays usually a off legs day for Vandenberg? Barely trains during midweek?

    TMac just led out to mark. Only a little jump at the ball but on landing put his hand straight up and limped off. Looked more foot or ankle than higher up. Getting assessed now.

    TMac now standing on the side of the boundary. Boots still on so maybe will head back out.

    So not being particularly fussed over? Still wearing the boots? Ok, can’t be too bad.

    Is it really hard for the club to give fans an update on KK. I feel like a lot of us fans are more concern around his health then getting back on the footy field. Yet club like always give donuts..

    Melksham also with the main group. 

    I'm confused with where Melksham's at.

    One poster claims he'll miss the early rounds with hamstring soreness, but here he is training fully today.

    You lend credence to what posters on here say? ?

    Might have to take back all the bad things we said about Misson seeing as the injury list under Burgess isn’t looking any better!

    So the club is extra cautious about even the most minor things and as a result on here there is an injury list that will end up with every player on it? Might as well go into recess going by some of the attitudes here. Give me a spell.

    Being hopeful and from reading reports - Gus, Max and May should be right for round one and have had solid preseason.  aside from that only really one from best 22 injured AVB - arguably..

    I hold little hope, for Bennell, KK in the first half of the year and not much more for Hannan given his  cursed luck

  • Quote

    Not really much to report from the session.  I spent most of it with BB, so he will be able to report further...

    Yes, the injury list looks long, but really, apart from May, Angus, Gawn and VDB, how many would be in the fist 22?  Of those 4 Brayshaw is running freely and keeping up his fitness.  Max is running freely and strongly, even with a brace.  VDB is the unknown and also May. 

    Smith can't be far away, and while he is running freely, he was still kicking the ball left foot only.  BB and I cannot work out what sort of foot injury can allow one and not the other?  Chandler was also doing repeat 50-100's, but the wrist is something that is only cured by time.  Same for Brayshaw and his elbow.

    The important thing is even with 14 players listed, we still have 30 out there training fully.  That included Melksham, Hibberd and Spargo who all participated in the small amount of match practice/simulation.

    So back to the track....it was very light and not much out of the ordinary apart from Kossi Pickett already having contender for MOTY!  Hard to describe as he just came from nowhere in a pack and the next thing you saw was him perched sideways above it with the ball in his grasp.  The trackwatchers and players erupted with awe, but the Channel 10 crew behind us were kicking themselves as they weren't set up properly.  Still they wanted to know who he was, so hopefully the cat hasn't been let out of the media bag....just yet!

    There was a mids group near us with Bradtke and Weidemann doing rucking ( given the injuries to Max and Brayden, we may need them).  Petracca and Langdon were prolific with their ability to get the ball and clear the pack.  Interestingly, Jackson was part of this group, but not as a ruck.  He held his own against Oliver, which was no mean feat.

    Sorry, not much else to say...so over to BB if he can think of anything else.....

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
