    Squad is out,  first on is Daisy.

    Lots of noise then the whistle brings them to the line.

    Last in is Katy Hore.

    Duffy only helping, Colvin one on one kicking, and Fitzsimons rehabbing. Fitz has now joined the squad. Perhaps just a test.

    Finished the warm ups with a competitive relay.

    They want to win! 

    They split in half. One half play a two team frisbee game and the others kicking drills, then they swap.

    They are now playing a half field game, one team is the coaches and assistance in the bibs.

    Seems mainly about finding a connection with the forwards.

    Into two squads again. This time playing more back-line transition through the centre to a forwad. While the other one drills starting on the wing.

    Roffey and a few administrators also in attendance.

    They finished up with a chat and some social games, like paper/scissors/rock, in the centre of Gosch's Boisterous, happy and in it together. 

    Oops not quite finished,  they go into their lines (forward, back, mids) and do more drills. Perhaps not exact  with lines as they are a bit mixed.

    Shelley Heath was not with the main squad.

    Hoping she is fine. Was moving well when doing some one on one with Stinear.

    The impression I got from tonight's training was how supportive they are of each other, their competitive nature, with a strong will to win, even the little stuff.

    I liked how Libby Birch and Tayla Harris compete and then discuss skills with each other.

    Karen Paxman, with her warrior bandage works hard and trains with enthusiasm and ego.

    Daisy does so much talking and giving to others.

    Hanks, Purcell and Mithen run very hard, always backing up and finding their way to the next contest.

    Bannan does well below her kness and creates turnovers with pressure, always hunting the ball.

    Zanker works hard up and down the field, making space and causing her defender to struggle as she leads back into the goal kicking area. 

    Goldy and Mackin have a very professional approach, intention to get better.  

     After most had left the field, they drilled Fitzsimons roving from the ruck of Lauren at stoppage to snap goals.

     I also noticed Brown working one on one with a coach. She has a beautiful kick, and hands (taking a mark).

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
