    According to Pert and Richo talking to the crowd Gus copped a corky 2 days ago and isn't training.

    I heard he left Monday training hobbling and someone said it could be a knee. 
    Didn’t want to say anything until the club did. 
    Phew 😮‍💨

    Gee, I hope it's not the same bug that some Geelong players are reported to have had prior to the Prelim.

    Not the best looking turf. I'm not suggesting it's dangerous, or anything like that, but I had visions of us training on immaculate grass. And are they irridescent mini-goal posts on the RHS of the picture? Quality.

    Not much to report, they’ve broken up into 3?groups and rotated through drills.

    Drills were based on transition footy, ground ball work and close congestion work. Pretty basic stuff with a focus on tomorrow being a full hit out
     
    What looked like the mids group worked on transition from corridor turnovers when they were together. Defenders in that drill worked on transition from ground ball gets and intercepts. Forwards were very much working on ground ball wins finding space and converting.

    All groups worked on one on one contests focused on breaking the initial tackle and also working your opponent off the footy.

    There was also a drill working on short kicks on the 45 and quick ball movement between the arcs and on a wing 

    All finished now, more just turning the body over. Gus is out there walking around great to see Tomo involved in warm up and he did rehab after that.

    Pert, Lever and Gus answering questions while the rest have shots on goal

    While it's not great Gus couldn't train, you couldn't have asked for a better player to have chatting to the crowd.

    On Instagram it looks like he doesn’t have any strapping on any part of his leg so I assume they’re being very precautionary.

    On another note, we don’t ever have to worry about any of our boys jumping codes to the round ball game.

    They played 2 soccer games as part of their warm up, talk about looking out of place. Good bit of fun for the group and sets a good tone for enthusiasm of nothing else

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
