They have invited 10 year members down to Gosch's. Nothing on website training pages.

Apparently by email, crowd is building, no players yet, probably 11 am start.

I'll report when I get back home.

Addit:11.10 players still not out.

Dang it. I forgot about this. Looking forward to your report Kev.

Rehab group update would be appreciated as well as whether Max is back training in full.

Rehab, Verral, K.Turner, Viney, and Salem.

All the rest in full training.

Gawn, Hibbo, J. Smith, Farris-White, Lever, BBB.

Sorry have to leave.

Hopefully someone else here can give a full report.

Shame I missed this but started a new role at work and couldnt get into the city - how was the presentation to members?

Gawn and Lever back in full training. 🍆 


Didn't stick around for training but was there for a few words from Kate Roffey and Alan Richardson, left after the squad had been warming up for 20 mins or so.

According to Richardson, at this stage it looks like Gawn will be playing this week (was very close last week) but they'll give him a few sessions this week and won't make the call until closer to game day.

Richardson sounded less positive about Lever's chances for this week, wasn't a definitive 'no' but basically suggested he's not in Gawn's position of being over the ankle concerns he's got. Sounds like he might need another week. (Keen to hear what training he does).

Salem still 4 weeks away at least.

Brown was close last week but just been experiencing back soreness. Looked pretty good to me in the warmups (Keen to also hear what training he does).

Roffey thanked all members and pushed for all those in attendance to get their Melbourne supporting non-member friends and acquaintances to sign up too, so get on board Demonlanders if you haven't already!

Only one speaker, so it was a bit difficult to hear clearly.

Roffey, said, preaching to the converted and that they want 75000 members.

By the way Gawny trained in Adelaide he had pencilled Anzac Eve in.

Just hope he has a rest against Norf.


Just left what must have been the lowest intensity training I think I have been to anywhere anytime. Probably get more serious later in the week. Gawn was leading the field in run throughs from end to end. But didn't take part in much else from what I saw. Lever looked fine to me but it wasn't exactly a tough session. Brown looked 100% as did most others. In Summary don't take much from today. After being at the hanger on Sunday and the paddock today it is  like champagne and river water. Thank god it wasn't raining. 

Was Sparrow out there? Some reports of a possible delayed concussion after the Merrett tackle.

Look at the bright side, at least no Essendon supporters around you 😁

The previous trainings for the start of the week have that I have been to, have all been a kinda stretch and run through, without much else. They last about 40 minutes. 

Today's, the players appeared low key, not much joy, exuberance or talking. Which was unusual, but understandable given the weekends game.

Alan Richardson had a Q&A, plenty of questions about what happened in Adelaide. Couldn't hear his response.

First time at training since finals 1987.

It wasnt much harder than D Grade Ammo's in the mid 70's, missing the compulsory 2 laps jogging and kick to kick before start.

Seemed a good sized crowd there.

I didnt notice that much noise on the field.  Just appeared to be a professional group going about their business.

Spargo was not there that I could see.

The players are great with the fans, especially the kids.  I was too embarrased to ask for a selfie but hope greatness will rub off on me during the work week.

The highlight for me was Hunter kicking a couple of dropkick goals from near the boundary.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
