    Is that a Parmi and Salad on your profile pic? Are they capers on the top left?

    *H Petty - is he doing anything of note?

    It's a section of my home made pizza and salad.

    Only the staff on the field at the moment.

    Glimpsing the red training tops,, as they meander to the truck and cover.

    Music beats start up, they mingle with trainers and coaches, a few doing dinky passes, coaches separate., whistle blows and they gather.

    Tracc is with them.

    No sign of Petty.

    Light duties, Tracc, Viney, Lever, Fritta, Hibbo, BBB. Joined the skill drills.

    Rehab, TMac, Tomlinson, Spargo, they are in rehab tops and are wearing runners. They have joined in the skilss drills, taken by Williams.

    Plenty of short kicking (look at the target then the ball, is Chocos advice). Plenty of goal kicking practice under supervision, then their out.

    No sign of Harmes.

    You're a legend. Thanks so much for doing these reports. 

    I'm wondering is it typical from what you've seen for JV to be on light duties during the week and especially at the beginning of the week. I am wondering if his foot is a permanent issue that they have to manage all the time. Mind you so far it sure isn't effecting his career best season.

    Viney was mainly having a different warm up than the others, using resistance bands.

    Thanks. I'm wondering if this is a permanent thing with him that he is being managed like this every week. Possibly to manage his long term foot injury.

    Very worrying about Petty. Maybe he won't train much this week to help reduce the bruising?

    Good to Trac is out there. If it was at all serious he surely wouldn't train.

    Looking as though he might be needed.

    Training well, kicking goals, and working on his process.

    Salem was very comfortable and appeared happy to be out there.

    Two AFLW players got some training from Mark William's. Eliza West and another I didn't recognise.

    With Sparrow out is any other player doing more midfield type work or they doing generic style training today and not position specific.

    You’d think JJ will play a full game and Clarry and Trac will play more minutes than they have been to cover for him. Harmes would be another option but sounds like he wasn’t at training which doesn’t bode well.

    Agree, I thought JJ in and Harmes to the sub, but they might throw Rivs in instead or a young kid from Casey as a sub. Sometimes in training you see someone in a different position. Would be good to know if that occurs.

    Couldn't tell, more of a get the week started, then any form/plan type work.

    Thanks Kev and all posters great that Tracc is unhampered and no other real injury woes but a bit concerning that Harmes was unsighted. Also how did Bowey look, lucky to be alive. Ha ha.!!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
