Doing the 2 and a half hour travel with my 3 year old to attend tomorrow's open training session at Yea.

My turn to give back to the die hard regulars who have make the time to attend and give in depth reports for us folks who live in regional country area's. 

If you have any player of interest to keep an eye on let me know and I'll do my best to update.

Quick question, are players accessible for photos and autographs afterwards? This is for my son who is excited to meet his hero's tomorrow.

    Good man Dazzle, I hope you have a great day. It's a community trip so I would expect the players will hang around and do photos and autographs. Hope you can checkout Burgoyne I'm really interested in his progress.

    Definitely what the go is with Oliver and how long it's expected this hand is going to take to heal properly.

    If I can get close to an a higher official such a Alan Richardson I'll definitely be asking the question.

    Looking forward to this one, I'm sure you won't miss a beat!

    I'd like to hear how Sestan looks now after a couple of months in a demanding AFL pre season setup. Burgoyne and Mcvee as others have said too. Also what they have in mind for Bowey now that the news on Salem has come up.

    Keen to hear how some of the borderline 22 are training. There’s some talented youngsters like Rivers, Bowey, Jordan, JVR all looking to cement a spot in the team.

    Also who will our small lockdown defender be once Hibberd retires? Does Mcvee or anyone else look like they’re taking up the mantle?

    Seeing I am in Bendigo, this week, I might just pop across to Yea to see the training run - might even see ya there if luck is on my side. I'll leave Bendigo around 6am to combine the accommodation of a 'Yea pie and sausage roll' with a long black coffee before the action begins. How will I identify you, Dazzle?

    Trained today, still listed as training on Wednesday. If that’s the case then surely anyone expecting anything more than a captains run will surely be disappointed

    Something would have to change drastically in the 24 hours since your last report S.

    I was a bit surprised to read they were doing a full match simulation today. I mean they've got the time listed from 9:30-11am so I presume it will be light work.

    I'm travelling 2.5 hours.. don't [censored] this up Melbourne Football Club....

    To die for but not good enough to sacrifice a diet for 🤨

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
