Looks like they will be on Gosch's this morning. 

Saw a few in the car park, including Jackson, who appeared fine.

I'll be here, though it looks like a 10.30 start at the earliest.

    Got a  chance to walk out on the surface. 

    There are patchy areas, some grass is brownish, a little less growth in places, and the line can be seen between the slabs. Feels firm underneath and generally well levelled. 

    They are still not out, perhaps an 11 o'clock start.

    Happy watching the storm go about it.

    Still waiting, if not by 11.30 I'm out.

    The training cart has turned up.

    There will be a session.

    Two in rehab, Rosman and Tmac.

    BBB on the ground late and in runners, joined the main group, for about 5 minutes, then back into the sheds.

    Joel Smith training in the forward groupings.

    Bowey was with the seconds. The seconds left the field,.

    Jake Lever did his own warm up, then joined the group, appears unhampered.

    Jackson in with the group.

    Now they have all left. 

    A quick 1/2 hr.

    Harmes is doing a little extra work.

    Weid was with the seniors, appeared upbeat.

    JVR with the forwards when they split and with the seconds when they finished on the track.

    They all did a warm up and some run throughs from goal to goal together.

    They then split up into their lines and went to three drill stations, which they rotated through. 

    I watched the one that Williams took. He wanted them to look around then perform a sharp 10 meter pass. He didn't stop talking.

    The group split into seniors and seconds.

    Just as they were getting warm they left.

    There was minimal kicking, and everything was 1/2 pace.

    Thought it was great that nearly the whole squad was together.

    Please let us know who is not training or in rehab? (AKA LEVER ANKLE WATCH)

    Also could you please inspect the state of TMac's foot.

    Tmac was out there for a fair bit of time.

    Mainly easy running and some kicking.

    Lever started his warm up with the group, he second guessed himself  and went to warm up by the fence, stretching mainly his ankle area.

    Trained with everyone as per normal. 

    I think he is right to go.

    Thanks KM looks like our injury list has improved immensely not so good for BB but still has 4 days, although I wouldn’t rush him if he isn’t 100%.

    if bbb doesn't come up for this week. i'd be tempted to try tomlinson at full fwd. he's a handy mark and a good kick. his vfl form has been good too.

    Starting to warm to this idea each week. We really just need a contest, if he provides it then it's worth considering.

    Very keen to see which group Smith is with and how he's pulled up from the weekend.

    Smith trained as normal and in the forwards group.

    When they split into seniors and seconds, Joel was talking with coaches though left the field with the seconds.

    He trained with the back-line.

    Looking forward to a detailed report.

    Past history tells us that TMac doesn't carry injuries well and takes multiples of games to hit his straps when he does come back. 

    I am a fan but wouldn't expect to see him again this year

    I’m of the same view unless he gets up for the VFL scratch game that Goodwin mentioned was going to occur the weekend before finals start and plays well. If not I think it’s too risky to bring him in for a PF or GF.

    No, doesn't seem bigger, though I know it is.

    Soon they'll finish the final touches of the landscaping for the non-playing area.

    • 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.
