I imagine we will have a very light week on the training track given the short turnaround, and then another interstate trip.

0 stars for the AFL fixturing. First time all year we've had two consecutive games at home all season, and it's coming off a 5 day break. Cheers Gil. 

At least after the bye we only travel twice.

    In general that's what I am used to.

    The first quarter against the Swans was a show stopper

    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. 

    Goody clearly stated on the weekend that Salo had had an excellent pre season before his injuries about Round 1 and afterwards.  Yes some fitness would be down but not to use your expressions not "half fit or limited game time". 

    Salo would /should have at least 2 Casey games and not be rushed like last year before he was fully fit and ready. 

    He might be available for AFL straight after the bye if 4 weeks is realistic time for resumption in VFL.

    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. 
     

    3 weeks Gorg but with Goody's 'no risk' policy he might be adding the extra week.

    What's the old Irish saying...

    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

    3 weeks away Roost according to Salo

    He was on light duties.

    The light duties players (Hibbo, McVee, Fritsch) were on the field for about 30 minutes

    Was today full training day?

    Wonder how they had the forward set up? If so was Petty still there working with the forwards?

    No very far from a full training. Just a quick, boisterous run which had a bit more intensity then normal.

    They didn't split into the lines.

    It has been suggested to me that they won't have a main training session this week.

    Next one is the captain's run on Friday, 9.30 am Gosch's paddock. (Probably)

    Thanks Kev and all posters difficult to get any serious training in with a five day break when coming off so much travel and a hard tough Monday night game.!!

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • 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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
