Take it the old fashioned way.

Personally I ain't going to ask him to bend over for that.

It's looking to me like he could feature somehow.

Interestingly Spargo is training with the main group. 

Maybe they are allowed to do non-contact training after a week of rest.

At this late point before gameday, all is a little intriguing. Shacka, Gawn, Oliver, Petty, et. al. Specific yet rather new forward drills, as if a revised attack plan could evolve. 

Could Schache be the sub??

I know it's not normal to have a 200cm tall forward as sub but it is interesting that he's being used a fair bit in the drills?

I'm guessing Laurie is the same but?

Jeff White is here with Kalani who is now taller than Jeff. 

Gonna be a man mountain.

I recognised Kalani before I recognised Jeff ☹️

A lot of the drills involve having a high ball kicked and the player just bringing the ball to ground intentionally and the players mopping up. 

Is this to appease the “just kick it long” element in the grandstands? 🙄

Was Petty with the forwards for the whole thing? 

Yes

 

Salo on track for 3 weeks (all going well)

Yes

Yuck! Petty is not a forward. In certain matches where the game needs a change I don’t mind him swinging down there to try something different but starting him there is not the way to go in my opinion. He’s a starting centre half back and that’s that. I’ll die on this hill😂

 

To add to this, I thought in the second half last week Petty really grew into the game and gained some confidence back with his intercept marking and reading of the play. So swinging him forward and disrupting that momentum that he looked to gain again seems very unnecessary.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
