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: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
