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!

    I think Kev will be arrested if he attempts this.

    Look, I’m probably not known for the best choice of words when posting… this may be another prime example of this 😂

    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??

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
