    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!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
