Got down to Gosch's for this morning's run.

Taj was being put through a fair bit of running. He also had a small amount of time kicking and marking.

Max ran more than 10 laps. At one stage, he tried a drill with direction changes, that didn't last long.

The rehab also had Farris-white, K.Turner, BBB, Lever and Hibbo in it.

Hibbo looks in trouble, probably his achilles. Left training after 20 minutes.

Lever appeared to have a right hip complaint. He joined the main group after they finished their running.

Schache was in full training, he also spent time after the session, marking the high ball.

No Harmes.

Kossie looked happy.

The session was mainly about stretching the legs and having some fun.

After some run throughs, they separated into 4 stations. Short kicking drill, with movement either left or right behind the mannequin after marking. A game of keep the soccer ball in the air. A handball game with a precision target to finish the action. The final one was competitive handball, finishing with a 40-meter pass to a leading forward.

That was it. A few stayed back, working on their goal kicking. Grundy, Petty, Tracc, Moniz-wakefield, Oliver and a couple of others who I can't recall.

    Sad to see Hibbo struggling.

    Unfortunately, that particular part of his body has always been his Achilles' heel.

    Worrying about Lever, as he's been back to best finally. Hopefully just minor.

    How did BB look to be moving?

     

    Happy that Gawny is running. Not great about the change in direction stuff, but it is still early days.

    When I did mine I wasn’t running a week later.

    Lever's problem did look minor.

    BBB in runners, moving without obvious restrictions, probably just his individual program, which he has been on for a while now.

    Gawn looked a bit forlorned (I think he likes the company) running by himself at about 60% effort, but he was getting the kilometres done.

    Kozzy happy cause he was in Tim Lamb’s office before training hopefully ✍️✍️

    Seemed happy to be back into his regular routine and hanging out with AMW, and the rest of them. At one stage he was dancing around and shadow boxing the stations post, ala Tim Cahill (soccer world cup).

    Poor bugger can’t take a trick. 
     

    Interesting seeing Petty doing goal kicking - maybe at least another week up forward / ruck.

    Nobody likes to be in rehab I am sure. But good that he is getting the KMs into his legs and keeping his fitness up.

    He’s out for a long while. Could even be potentially in SA resting up. Not a lot he can do with his injury other than rest.

    If Gawny could change direction, then one would think its more likely to be 2-3 weeks away, which is well ahead of expectation. 

    Mind you, Im not a physio so my opinion matters little.

    I’m sure that what we saw on Sunday will be our forward setup for a while - 21 goals against a top team!! I don’t think they’ll change it in a hurry.

    Such a bummer that one. Hope he's back sooner rather than later.

    Ditto. We need him, we’re light on for rucks and we need him to be developing. Such bad luck for the young fella.

    Is this fact or part of the "hope"? Whey else would he be in Lamb's office if it wasn't re: contract?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
