We're back.

Looks like a few senior players have joined the 1st to 4th Year players at the first day of preseason training.

Max Gawn, Jake Lever, Tom McDonald and Christian Petracca join the young guys.

It doesn't look like they're at Gosch's Paddock. The City of Casey sign tells me they're probably out at Casey Fields. Any trackwatchers there today?

    You didn't notice the absence of houses in the background?

    I apologise if this has been posted elsewhere, but is there a list of players expected to have delayed starts to training because of surgery or other reasons? If so, who? And for how long will their starts be delayed?

    I went on the MFC site this morning and could see nothing about training what so ever. Lack of staff in 2020 is probably the cause. I think we are just going to have to survive with leads info this summer.

    Every single pre season, we kick off wearing the same NB gear from the season prior. I see they've provided fresh kits to GC & ST Kilda. Small matter but it's strange to me.

    As an aside, an 'own goal' by Saints to use players with Nike boot sponsors to promote the launch of new sponsor NB gear.  st-kilda-explains-awkward-nike-intrusion-after-fans-mock-new-balance-ad  "... it feels like a loss for New Balance"

    Photographer could have chosen different poses that didn't show the footwear.  Too simple...

    Probably better to have player models from the knees up.

    LJ  looks  like Tarzan with his wavy  hair  and the build that is put on .

    Yze looks as if he is ready to play again.  Could have used him on the wing.

    Great to see some of the familiar faces training.

    Adem's handball - once again, leads with the nose (that must be the secret to his vision to read the ball so well in the past).

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
