Any news on Smith please?

    Hopefully the media asks Goody about Smith.

    No they are only allowed to ask about Grundy

    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

     

     

     

    Yeah it's pretty amazing how much Hunter manages to fly around with relative ease. Covers so much ground and was probably only in 2nd gear.

    Turned up just as they were walking out through the spectator's guard of honour (also as they left, though no time taken to sign anything).

    Appears they are focused internally.

    The session was fumbly and with bad deliveries early on. The wind was very gusty. At one stage Williams pulled them up, and call out “lift the standards”, they responded well.

    They were low-key out there, the effort was made by the youngsters and those on the periphery of selection. 

    Noise volume by the players was underwhelming.

    I get the impression that they have cocooned themselves, and are going about it with each other. Probably good news, as they are the ones who need to find themselves in the zone tomorrow, blocking the external noise out, may help.

    Go Dees

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

    What kind of dentist doesn't stiff other clients so Joel can take their appointment at a better time!

    A Collingwood supporting one?

    Must be really struggling for business. Not many teeth amongst his target audience.

    But wouldn't you need a medical degree to be a dentist?

    I really REALLY wanted a sausage and am so annoyed I didn't have time to get one.

    The regret is so thick right now you could cut it with a Rex Hunt fish cleaning knife.

    You missed out big-time, Layz. The sausages were cooked perfectly, as was the onion. We sold everything. We didn’t expect there to be so much of a demand, so we’re pretty stoked. We got heaps of tips and ‘keep the change’ and one bloke straight up donated $50! Demons supporters are so generous. It also helps if the cash register biattch greets the customers nicely despite running on only three hours sleep and one… I repeat, ONE coffee. And a small one at that. 🙃

    Definitely the reason why I didn't want to bother you 🤪

    Do you take cards at these things? Need to know to save future embarrassment.

    I've still got the BBQ smell on the mind, Anyone feel like cooking some sausages at a park close to me this arvo? Haha.

    Not sure about this picture. The background looks like a gross magnification of someone's intestines.

    On the other hand, and more importantly, congratulations to Joel.

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

    I wouldn't be coming onto this site to gain any confidence before any match, too many doomsdayers.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
