    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.

    Trent Burgoyne training with us in hope to pick up a rookie spot.

    Wish it was Jase Burgoyne rather than Trent. Jase looks the goods.

    What's the go with two different players wearing the same number? We don't have enough jumpers in the skinny, extra-long size? Or do the two players have to face off against each other to see who wins the coveted Allan Jarrott number?

    No numbers are finalised. As per usual our new apparel hasn’t arrived yet so the numbers are size fits. Hence Grundy being in Jackson’s old jumper and Hunter being in Bedfords😂

    Wonder if there will be a report that doesn’t have to follow the name Joel Smith with the words ‘light duties’ or ‘rehab group’? Drafted in 2016 next season will be his 7th AFL season for 28 games. Hope the poor bugger is luckier in love that he is with injuries.

    I was thinking the same thing, not so much about his love life though. Could do with a full preseason so as to get him strong and resilient. Hope they are just being cautious and he gets into it soon. Mainly worked the bike and not the rowing machine.

    Sestan - 5 days and 1 training session in and he’s already looking leaner and more like an afl player

    At this rate, by Wednesday, he'll be more ripped than Trac.

    Mate of mine said he saw him wandering around Eppworth Hospital a week or two back. No idea if as a patient or visitor.

    Kev, love to get your early thoughts on JVR & Jefferson. How are they both looking on the track?

    Obviously don't think MJ will play much AFL in 2023, but keen to get your thoughts on how he looks as a future key forward option.

    Yep..

    But hey, let's re-sign him to a new 2 year deal as a reward..

    JVR looking great. In the sims he was their go to man a few times. Lovely hands, good lead and double back. Easily got away from Lever, though Lever had to work on two attackers and regularly had to guard the space.

    Need more time to look at Jefferson,  appears to be doing most things adequately,  except goaling which he does effortlessly. His fitnees not up to scratch yet, endurance is lacking. He has the posture type where his head is slouched forward, wish someone would tell him to stand up straight.

    Cheers. Pumped to see JVR in the seniors this year!

    Jefferson definitely looks like he needs 2 preseasons to be close to selection at this stage. Holding out hope he can build his tank and body size over the next 2 years to potentially look at playing late 2024 or 2025. Potentially he could be played as a third tall early days.

    Geez he looked good didn't he, I was up close to that sim and couldn't be more impressed. He's got a bit of a strut going already JVR.

    Quiet, I think he is just going about his business, I get the sense that he doesn't want to ruffle the feathers as a new addition to the team. Focusing on cohesion and comradeship.

    He is the sort of guy who should have been made to earn a new contract as a train on player, rather than being gifted a 2 year deal based on hopes and dreams.

    Meaning: show you can get through a couple of months of training without breaking down again, and you can have a spot on our list.

    I think Jefferson will be a pure forward.

    Our third talls, could be TMac, BBB, and Tomlinson. They were all doing ruck work at some stages, together with Grundy and Max.

    Verral was mainly on the outside of the squad today. He did kicking in a small group and some physical training all under supervision of a coach.

    You don't think the coaching staff know what they are getting after 7 years? You think the extra month of early pre-season training is going to give them some sort wonderful new insight into him that the previous 7 pre-seasons have not provided?

    He hasn't been gifted 2 years, the football department have decided that they want him on the list for the next 2 years because he's better than any alternative that they could have drafted.

    I have no doubt he will be handled with kid gloves but maybe  a half forward flank role might suit if he has the mobility and pace to create chances in the early days on the third tall after moving around the forward line.

    Any chance of fast forwarding MJ differently to JVR who really seems a KPF in style and physique and movement.

    Was Petty sighted ?

    Cheers snd thanks.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
