All set up down here at Gosch's, no players yet.

Any questions or particular observations from me, or for me about training are welcome.

    There may be some passing interest in whether Clayton Oliver is training...

    I suspect today is just a stretch and skills set. If they break into groups it would be interesting to see who from Casey is in the seniors group. Thanks

    Presume we will put JJ on a wing for Hunter.

    Curious to hear what Rivers does this session....In the backline or with the mids?

    We actually have few options in Harmes/Sparrow to possibly share the role. You know sorta what you are going to get with both....We could be much more dynamic with combination of Rivers/Kossi/Viney.

    Is Petty still in the moon boot or wearing real shoes?

    Bowey making an appearance is good. His calf must be ok. 
     

    Will go cry in the corner about Oliver now.

    How’s the mood/feel of the players? 

    Focused, all gathered together, and as they were out late onto the paddock, I presume the review was extensive.

    I was not talking about weekly ins or outs....just a few possible positional changes.

    Fwiw none of your changes are overly inspiring.   We are going to look a much less talented team on paper this week. 

    *Clearly if players are injured or suspended they will need replacements...but that is pretty darn obvious!

    Took a while to spot him, Dunstan is in full training mode.

    I think they are testing him out physically. 

    One of the last to leave the paddock, after doing some low ball gets.

    He is moving OK, but only short movements. No strapping and feeling the top of his left quad.

    Scared and fell I'm imposing if I take his attention away from what he is doing.

    Oliver has entered the field, doing some resistance work and also going a bit harder. 

    Now a bit more, does some switching with his steps, looking comfortable, all smiles, and Petty who is close by gives him a hug.

    He has put on a stretch strapping and doing some slow 50 meter run throughs under a timer.

    Carrying a ball, doing small kicks, Tracc has a hand slap with him, looking positive and on the low side of grading.

    Is Oliver the new Jimmy Stynes?

    So at least we know his hamstring is still at least somewhat attached to his body… or he’s doing a Steven May circa 2021 😂

    Dare I take this as a good sign that it's a minor 1-2 week injury and he'll back for Kings B'day??

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
