    Hopefully a good turnout of Demons supporters?

     

    Sadly, I couldn't make it due to work commitments.

     

    It would be interesting if any media show up. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. 😒

    Boys coming off the track now. A very light Captain’s Run. 

    Major things to report:

    Fritsch moving freely and well

    TMac In. Moving well too. 

    No Joel Smith on the track. hopefully just a cold and they’re keeping him away from the group. Otherwise he has to be one of the unluckiest player to play footy.

    Any word on why??

    Would be a great sub. Disappointing if he's once again injured at the wrong time.

    Based on your observations do we think it's only going to be the one change only with McDonald for Melksham?

    If Smith is out then that complicate things. No exact replacement but weather probably opens the door for another small forward Spargo or Woey or Laurie. 

    And yes McDonald for Melksham.

    There's been a few instances where a player has not trained during the Captain's Run and played the next day. Hoping this is the case with Smith.

    Could be a sniffle, a family emergency, food poisoning.

    I believe his partner is pregnant, maybe she's in labour? 

    Am I worried? No. I am not worried. I never worry

    A few obvervations but it was a very short and light session so don't read too much into it:

    The end to end no pressure drill suits Hunter but he really is a beautiful kick of the footy

    Oliver had the fumbles

    Kozzie was taking set shots at the end and wasn't setting the world on fire with either drop punts or across the body shots

    Chandler gets some real penetration on his kicks with little effort

    Smith was a no show. I've got no idea how our forward setup would look without him so I'm guessing Collingwood will be in the same boat. Hopefully he is fine

    Genuinely curious why those young Casey players are still training and not having an early start to their pre-season to freshen up? It's not like any of them will play in finals.

    What if the flu ravages the team similar to Geelong 2021??

    Smith is in Pic 13 from Monday's training gallery. Let's hope it's a dentist appointment.

    Gees what a good report. I've never been less confident of kicking a winning score!

    • 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.
