    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

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
