    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: 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?
