Squads warming up, on Gosch's. 

Spargo, Jordan, Bailey and TMac out there.

Fritta still doing his own program.

JvR looking happy, though keeping to himself a bit.

A fair bit of voice in their first drill. Lever's seems to dominate. 

The banter between the players is also strong, as they niggle each other, and applaud those extra skilled acts.

The backline has split from the main group (who are goal kicking), Rivers, May, Lever, Max, D Turner and Hibbo.

The first are back into the sheds after 50 minutes. 

Now the seconds are making their way out onto the paddock.

Max isn’t doing the goal kicking? 😳😳

How’s Salem going? In all the drills?

Do you have any clues as to why Fritta has been doing his own program? Seems like it’s been going on for weeks now. 

Any standouts this week?

Are Kye Turner and Verall there doing rehab? 

Thanks so much for your reports Kev! Love em!

Salem is not in the captain's run.

Yes, they are with the trainer, mainly lap and short runs. Verall seems to be building a stronger muscular body. Turner starting to do some skills work.

Hunter was the most vocal I had heard him.

Gus doing some spectaculars.

I would assume it is to lighten the load on his foot that he hurt in the preseason.

I interviewed Aaron vandenBerg a few years ago and he mentioned that he no longer or rarely trained during the week to manage and lighten the load on his injury prone feet. It was also one of the topics of the To Hell and Back doco series the Dees made a few years back.

Thanks Kev and all posters it’s great getting a feel of what is happening with the boys that are playing and those that are working their way back. JVR has probably had more attention this week than when he was recruited. Lol.!!!0

Exactly

Whilst Fritta has been fine this year, i have notice he doesn't look 100% just off a little.

Very important to our structure so hopefully just work load management and he will attack the back half of the year full tilt.

Second squad still out there.

Sim was 7 on 7.

A few fundamental mistakes, and Mark Williams was right onto them. Take those marks (Jefferson, Farris-White), hit those passes (D Smith).

Plenty of running after the sims, including laps as a pack.

Occasionally they are on their haunches. 

Now some more sims.

Sestan is looking fit.

Salem is just keeping up, his skills are still great.

As they got more work into them the better their skills became.

Now they are doing long sprints to finish their session.

A few drop off from the sprints and do laps.

Five,  including Salem finish more sprints. Then everyone is running the boundary. 

They are back to sprinting, with some dropping of to the laps.

Last sprinters are Salem and Adams.

Hard working, good session.

Impressed with Jed Adams’ development. 

BBB has been going as hard as any of them. Really like that he is no longer doing his own program.

Does Jefferson look like he's put on any size since arriving at the club?

No, and his marking seems to be an off.

He seems to hunch a lot of the time. Maybe it’s just his body shape.

Hopefully another pre season will see him bigger and stronger and challenging for a senior spot.

I suspect its hard to put on a lot of size when you do so much cardio, You can only eat so much food a day!

Are we ever going to find out what is wrong Frittas foot? I know it was stepped on but perhaps there was something already there? 

A toe perhaps?

Joel was possibly the best out there in the sims. Very focused, running well, looking for leads off the opponents blind spots.

My dream of Joel Smith dominating up forward in the ones is a step closer to reality!

Joel Smith dominating up forward, after about 9 years at the club, would have to be more than a dream.

Forward

Good guess, given Goody said in his Presser that they plan on persisting with Petty up forward for a few more weeks... (or words to that effect...)

Didn't see the presser.

Watched Petty do a fair bit of goal kicking, and working on his set shot process.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
