Sorry its late Demonlanders but had a few things on so I'll get straight to the main points 

  • If Clarry plays on Sunday it will be the greatest feat since that bloke from Galilee allegedly walked on water a couple of thousand years ago. He performed a fitness test of sorts but clearly did not want to use his injured hand.
  • Harrison Petty and Bailey Laurie were NO SHOWS at training 
  • I think Daniel Turner came of second best in a match sim and took no further part in training, I say  think coz I was a bit far away. If it was him then another piece of bad luck.
  • T Mac was in rehab and did a few light drills and could return within expected time frames
  • Joel Smith Likewise was involved in some match sims and then completed run throughs. He did have a slight limp though
  • If Petty misses Tomlinson looks likely
  • Hard to get a line of who of Weeds, Mitch Brown gets the call up. I don't think Van Rooyen is in the frame. Weeds was bustled out of a few contests, but Mitch Brown kicked a couple with some clever play. I reckon Max will play quite a bit up forward
  • Dunstan WAS part of main Mids group
  • Chandler slipped a few times coughing ball up to his eternal frustration
  • Best  trainers were Jack Viney, Trac, Dogga, Langers AND Nibbler. Spirited session for the most part and selection will be interesting
  • One other thing. Reporters were teaming in the ground today but do you reckon the Fence was any chance to get in. Nar no way known!
  • GO DEES  Best to all P.F

    FMD now Petty!😱  And 🪩 again?  Can’t take a trick  

    Clearly the curse was only temporarily exorcised last September, and a full exorcism at the G is needed this September.  Nothing less will do.

    Very Surprised that Melksham and Chandler were included! Also surprised Bedford and Spargo hold their places but no, HUNT!!

    Weideman this surely would be "Last Chance Hotel" would much have prefered Mitch Brown!

    The photos of the training  show them all in heavy tops.  They will not need it Up in NT

    i thought the Weid looked trim and with a correct ball drop, though I don’t know why the other hand was up in the air. Perhaps to cheer the goal. Bring your best on Sunday please,

    Very nice work (again) PF thanks mate.

    Surely there's someone on here who has a background in forging fake press passes.  Get on it D'landers!

    Yes, but as Jeremiah the Bullfrog always said,  One is the loneliest number.

    Weather Bureau forecast for Alice Springs on Sunday is a minimum overnight of zero followed by a sunny day with a maximum of 24 degrees. Should be a stunning day.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
