Rehab: Chandler, left knee heavily bandaged, Verral, k.Turner.

Light duties: Fritta, McVee, Hibbo.

Salem out early being put through his paces, joined the main group for drills.

40 players in the main group, including Salem, J.Smith, plenty of noise, fun and some competitive warm-ups and drills.

They finished up with organised goal kicking.

Salem and Spargo still running after the squad left.

Chandler finished his short session with a moderate speed, jog of the oval.

Lovely movement and skills, full training.

It should be noted that Spargo joined full training at last Sunday's Captain's Run but left the field near then end when they were doing drills that had a little more contact. Just because he was training doesn't necessarily mean he is fully out of concussion protocols.

Standard protocol is 12 days right?

Tomorrow is 12 days since the Essendon game. Presumably if he was still not feeling 100% he wouldn't be allowed to train even a little bit. The fact that he is training fully on day 11, means he must be pretty close.

I was surprised he was allowed to train let alone be at the club on Sunday for the Captain's Run.

Is the 12 days related to playing or also training?

Maybe it's just about non contact. So he can train, but can't do contact training until tomorrow?

Captains Run is not exactly high intensity.

Goody did rule Spargs out for the game against the Roos in the post match presser on Monday night. I'd expect Spargs to be travelling to sunny QLD for a game next week (no intel, just a hunch).

Goody said he was still experiencing symptoms so wouldn't be considered this week.

I’m not sure the AFL’s elite concussion protocols are available but you’d think they’d match pretty closely to the community ones.

It’s pretty much rest for 1-2 days, light exercise, rest, skill session, rest, non contact team drills, rest, full training.

Even if he had a few days of symptoms early last week he could’ve progressed to a skills session by Sunday.

The post match conference cuts out at 3:50 so I didn't hear him say that.

Very strange he is training. Maybe he felt much better today?

Goodwin said Salem was a month away. Glad they are going to take their time with him. Need him for the back half of the season. 
 

He missed the first half of last season too - shame because at his best probably our best ball user from HB

That’s the worry. He has missed a lot of footy, both high intensity training and matches. We need him back but we need him back all guns blazing and playing 4Q of footy. Half fit or limited game time is not what the team needs. I would rather go with a fully fit alternative defender like a Turner than a player not 100 percent ready.

How intense was the session @kev martin? 

Good intensity, much more than the usual stretch it out runs. The drills were compact, with 4 stations, and then they all joined together for kick and run through before the goal kicking.

Best thing was the joy.

Lasted about 50 minutes 

No contact, nor anything close to sims.

So Salem is in full training but Goodwin says he's 4 - 5 weeks away, what am I missing? I'd so love a fit Salem at HB for the last 10 weeks of the season

Has his own warm-up program and the drills didn't have contact or anything close to 70% effort.

Loved that he is starting to run harder, is doing the resistance and change of direction work.

One would expect maybe 2 x ½ to ¾ games at Casey plus 2 full games before Salo gets a senior game.  That would give him still enough time to be ready for September action.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
