    Good observation @McQueen, Kobe looks to have built-up considerably in a short space of time.

    That's the first recent photo i've seen of him. Jeez he looks like his dad. 

    McQ, do you know if if Freo have any interest in Kobe and if not why not?

    Alos am i right to assume Kobe and his Dad still live in Perth? If so its pretty big commitment to be over in Melbourne for a whole preseason.

    Just viewed the training photos. What stood out to me was how much Trent Rivers has filled out since last year. 

    Of all our recruits selected in the past two drafts, I believe he will end up proving to be our most important selection of them all.

    brown kicked 6 in a quarter of an intra club game. Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere and it seems to have been over the weekend 

    Shows we have poor coaching and a VFL quality backline at best,  which will get toweled up by Dixon, Lynch, Hawkins etc.

    6-8 wins in 2021 is all we can hope for, with everyone below us except North and Adelaide going straight past us.

    Just thought I'd get in before the usual glass half full posters.

    Kobe is currently living with his dad in Melbourne

    Unsure on the Freo side of things.

    So no-one could be bothered driving for an hour to watch training from behind a fence and then writing a long report about it?

    This forum is hopeless!

    Definite lack of commitment!!!

    However, in everyone’s defence, I have to say that Casey is the absolute rsole of the earth!! 
    How the “ Melbourne “ football club ended up out there still astonishes me! 
    FMD !! Might as well train in

    If May, Lever and Tomlinson were all playing in defence against Brown, then I'd agree it's panic stations.

    However I'm assuming Brown was probably matched up against the "possibles side" that consisted of a Casey defender, the boot studder and some bloke they plucked off the street for training.

    A nice little video of some training on the club website.  I hope the players watch this, every time we did the flick handpass over the shoulder it was a turnover.  Can't believe the coaching staff haven't banned this handball.  It is like a 3 point shot in basketball, great when it comes off but really you are only going to hit 10-20%

    Maybe everyone who didn't go had the same excuse as you. Which is?

    • 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?
