    This might be the best preseason we have had in a long time.   (if the hawks beat us on Friday I reserve the right to take that back).

    Huge thanks to our track reporters ........ greatly appreciated by all Demonlanders, and even more so when they deliver [mostly] good news! ?

    The AFL might request Vandenberg wear a warning sign on his jumper this year.

    'Tackle at own peril'

    May did say he was a ‘strong dog’ or something along those lines.

    HB told me at the family day he is going for round 3. He looked like he was serious. one of the most gifted players ever.

    Wow... that’s big news. That would vfl and IF all went well that might translate into round 9 or so. Like everyone else here my fingers are crossed.

    That's fantastic and I hope it's realistic and not overly optimistic.

    I was at a function in Perth on Preliminary Final day and Jake Lever said he was aiming for a Round 1 return in 2019. He returned in Round 12.

    Remember when Trac did his ACL before the start of his debut year and wanted to come back by round 23 and play? Haha, 12 month minimum for ACLs ol Jake the snake should know that

    Would you even play him in the VFL? It’s like having Ablett on your list. Most talented player we have got. Oliver, Petraccaand Gawn are not in the same league.

    Yeah he’s gotta get some run in his legs in the closet thing to an afl match before he actually plays one, imagine the heart break of a senior call up and doing the calf in the first 5 minutes.

    Given he's not even in enough condition to join the main rehab group this seems a tad optimistic. Goody was saying mid year Pert was saying 4 or 5 games for the season would be a big win which would put it at about round 22. I'd be very very happy if it was around round 16 to 18. I'd be ecstatic if it was mid year. I'd be very very worried if it was round 3.  I don't care how long it takes as long as it means he firstly comes back at all and secondly comes back and never breaks down again.

    I reckon Goody and Pert are lowering expectations wowing mid-season or 6 game season, and Harley being optimistic re- round 3... 

    So round 6 (vs Tigers) or Round 7 (vs Dons) seems a possibility...

    Bring it on!

    That Lockhart report has me worried about a torn pec. Hope it’s nothing.

    With Hannan I just want to see him running smoothly rather than so stiff and awkwardly. Is he starting to move better?

    With Lockhart there was no indication of a pec, he pointed to his bicep, nothing more.

    Hannan is running quite freely but I've seen players do the same rehab routine as him and do it for 4 or 5 weeks (Tomlinson) so it's really hard to tell when he'll be back.

    Love the optimism from Harley but I think realistically he won't be out on a footy field for at least a little while after that. The cub should definitely be mindful of him trying to push too hard, particularly if they can see him getting excited to be back out there.

    Let's not get too carried away, I'd be hugely surprised if he spent less than 4 or 5 weeks at VFL level before even being considered for the 1s. He spent a lot of time in the WAFL before getting a game for a poor Freo side

    A couw of thoughts from those clips. 

    Firstly combined in less than 8 hours they have had over 1000 views. Given they are in no way notable, it shows the demand for video content. And quality is not a worry.

    Secondly the jackson v may clip shows msgs strength but also highlights how quick jackson is to recover. He will be tough match up up forward. If you don't out mark him and the ball hits the ground he is likely to get to it first.

    He probably changed his mind and didn't want to be involved after seeing how we played.

    On point 1: Given more job losses in journalism today the reporter should splash a big AFL Media watermark on them and start the clip with a sponsors message.

    Or to be more cynical maybe the club should ban filming of training by AFL reporters without a sponsors message.

    • 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.
