    Great job reporting Andy. You guys are pros at reporting training. All I could muster up was "player x is having a shot at goal". Not an easy caper!

    Sure is expensive to have brekky/brunch in this area now. The days of a reasonable meal and coffee under $25 long, long gone.

    The metric system is "woke" now?  :blink:

    I had the same reaction.  The metric system came in in 1966.

    Not sure where daisy has been for nearly 50 years...🤔 or he has an odd definition of 'woke'.

    Nope. Tmac is awful and Schache has been banging down the door. Although I don’t think he’ll play. Maybe next week against North.

    When I watched Kalani last year at Lavington for the under 15's national championships he was towering over his dad.

    I was with a colleague and we estimated that he was already at 200cm tall.

    T Mac has runs on the board. Schache has 7 seasons of not performing at AFL level

    Tmac has been average since about Round 12, 2021. Schache may not be the answer but he’s banging down the door, and with Tmac showing almost nothing. If you’re going to bring up the Eagles game, look who he was playing against.

    Salo on track for 3 weeks (all going well)

    Is that 3 calendar weeks, or 3-4 Neil Balme weeks?

    Unfortunately TMac's good games are becoming fewer and further in-between don't like calling it out but that's where we are atm.

    The rehab was working hard. All sprinting, like they were achieving, under distance and time restrictions. Salem, M.White, J. Smith, Spargo and another VFL player. M. White and Salem continued to run laps. Spargo and J.Smith attended some drills. Smith's thumb still giving him some concern, as he attended to it a few times after marking.

    First out on the field, 4 minutes  before the rest of the squad, was the backline (Petty not with them). It looks like they want to go well after last week's effort.

    The drills started a bit low-key, and they were slightly off, iffy, clean handling and distribution. The second drill, they started finding their voice and skills improved. The third drill and they're humming,

    They spilt into two groups, that both worked on ball movement from the backs, thoughtfully to mids and finding angles and passes to advantage into the forwards.

    Finished the session with goal kicking.

    Tracc and Lever looking very good.

    Gawn started with some resistance work and joined in all the drills (ready to go). Did lots of work as a forward.

    L.Bailey is looking very smooth when moving and kicking.

    The effort and intensity was much higher than the other Captain runs I have seen.

    Go Dees

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
