Considering the lack of training reports today due to the closed session, for those interested, I'm working at the AO at the moment and Big Benny Brown is currently participating in the 'Glam Slam'.

It's not much to go on, but he looks to be moving pretty well. Good forehand on the big man.

    Anyone know if it’s the same hand he had surgery on?

    It is indeed the same hand. Not surprised it’s taped up; I saw it without tape, the scar is long and deep. And that was a couple of months ago.

    What I really like is the way he squares himself to the goal face up a split second before kicking. 

    That's a pure footy skill.

    Smith is my smokey for this season.  He looked a fair way off last I saw him, but I just love the way he moves.  He has that smooth running style where he glides across the ground.  I could see him carrying the ball out of HB.

    I read somewhere that players are on a 4 day break from their clubs as result of their collective bargaining. I might be wrong. 

    I read that Essendon players were on a 5 day break after Wednesday. Read that in the article about their best and fairest Peter Wright hurting his calf. Not sure what was more alarming that he hurt his calf or that he is their best and fairest.

    Anyway looks  like we trained hard Friday and then had another running session today. Whilst Essendon players are on a 5 day break. Sounds about right I suppose for both clubs.

    Peter Wright had a great season in 2022, finishing 8th in the Coleman. I’d say he was easily their best and most productive player.

    He had a 2nd round of surgery on the hand recently I'm pretty sure

    Deakyn Smith and Jefferson look very classy too, beautiful movers.

    Smooth AS !!!!! We have a bunch of recruits who all may have the potential to bridge the gap Obviously some will and some others may take longer or even miss the boat in'23. 

    But who they are is up for grabs and it is exciting to possibly think of the development potential. Bring it on!

    I remember watching Shai Bolton explode onto the scene a few years ago. It’s a similar progression between these two - starting small forward, good game then quiet game. Bolton has really only come on in the last year or two since he has moved into the midfield a bit more.

    Kozzy still has upside and I think will ultimately go beyond Bolton IMV.  Once he is able to get even more consistent, I can see him sneaking into top 20-30 players in the league

    You do have to watch it multiple times. You'd swear everyone else is just stationary as Koz just blasts through traffic.

    I can't wait to watch him work through the midfield this year. Imagine having to try and tag the bugger.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
