    Maybe if they pick him it would help convince Kozzie that the MFC is the place to be for his future.

    How is that first name pronounced? Like Peter Pius Paul (otherwise known as Crackers) "Keenan"? Or something that rhymes with "my man"?

    I’d bring him in for that alone.

    Way too early reaction:
    Adams - big forearms, he’ll end up a solid lad
    Sestan - 5 days and 1 training session in and he’s already looking leaner and more like an afl player
    Jefferson - not quite big buckets but he gets a lot of purchase with his fingers around that footy, good size mits
    Verrall - decent shoulders, probably the most developed of the young talls

    A wintery morning, coldish and windy. Great morning for the time trials, headwinds on one side and a tail on the punt rd side.

    Clarry smashed it. Goody was over the moon, they embraced several times. He is set for a ripper. Looking thin, nearly wirey. He is also showing some leadership qualities.

    Others out front were Adam Tomlinson, he was in a different group to Clayton but gee, beat Tmac by at least 25 metres. ANB caught the front group.

    Some bad news, Hibbo was having difficulty with his Achilles, left training.

    Petracca was the only one missing.

    So many new players out there. Here are some new numbers, 6 Grundy, 12 Hunter, 19 Schache, 26 Jed Adams, 28 Verral, 33, 38, 39, 43 (Burgoyne?), 45, 46 Sestan, 47 Jefferson and 47 Farris-white. Plenty of train ons.

    Clarry has the hair bun. Langdon has crewed. Salem white.

    After the time trials, they got into their boots, and it began.

    Competitive right from the start. Into two stations, two players competing for position as the ball is thrown in the air, the other was soft tackling as the front player picks up a ground ball. Moved into three stations, short kicks, and the other two I can't remember. They transitioned to handball games with 6 on two in bibs. They then went to two stations, a sim with minimal tackling, (Hunter caught my eye with great outside run and kicks to advantage, Kossie and Sparrow as well). The other was a hard tackling handball game in restricted space. The tackler was not brought to the ground, but was expected to break and get the handball (plenty of noise as they prove to each other their shimmy and ability to stand up).

    They went to their lines. Looks like TMac is with the back-line, as is Woewodin, and Salem stay there as well. Tomlinson doing some work with the rucks and the back-line.

    Forwards bringing the ball to ground and snapping.

    Some mids and forwards kicking down an alley, with a camera under the supervision of Williams for goal.

    They then got their runners on again and hit up 10, 150 metre, in under 20 sec sprints.

    Deakin Smith, and Moniz-wakefield, Verral, and Adams on a modified program.

    Grundy and BBB working together in their individual program.

    They have moved a gym under the shed where Joel Smith and Angus Brayshaw did light duties and were joined with some of the new players.

    There may have been some drills I missed, it was a long session and with so many players out, there it was hard to follow. 

    Addit, had a good look at Farris-white kicking when on the run and it was ok, hit lots of his targets. @Tim

    Trent Burgoyne:

    2019 (draft year): no games due to hammy issues, rookied 

    2020: covid year, port didn’t play in the sanfl 

    2021: 5 games, averaged 6.8 disposals. Delisted 


    2022: played 10 matches, averaged 10.6 disposals, 2.8 tackles and kicked 2 goals 

    He’d be a pretty bold selection based on that. Started to go in the right direction this last season but before that had 3 years of nothing

    • 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.
