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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
