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%.

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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
