Seems strange that Jake M has lost his number because he is a rookie.

He maybe placed on the long term injury list?

    I couldnt remember all last years numbers (I normally pride myself on it) and I googled MFC player numbers. Most hits showed new players with or without numbers, but only current list. it was no surprise to me that MFC website showed all the last years players and numbers.

    thought I saw Petty but think it was fake Petty (Jed Adams).

    Adams, Verrall and Sestan have all made physical progress 

    Might be nothing but in a handball, handball across half forward then kick to leading forwards inside 50 drill T Mc started as a defender.

    3 new young guys watching with Choco now

    Josef is here doing some individual drills that would roughly rhyme with soot jihad

    The two burning questions of the day

    1- is Clarry there?

    2- how does Petty’s foot look?

    Neither are here, try new questions

    Also, still showing the players that left.

    New fellas joined in the second rotation of that set of drills.

    Koltyn seems to be pursuing a strategy of following Tracc everywhere. 

    Kynan had a couple of inside 50 kicks that looked good.

    Windsor had some nice one touch gathers. Might be because he’s dressed like an 18 year old girl about to hit a wall King street nightclub but he seems to have really long arms 

    From the new veterans for want of a better word: Shane Mc looks comfortable out of the square and snaps on both sides.

    Fullarton has a tan that won’t survive Melbourne winter

    Cold tin just kicked a checkside over the fence and possibly in to the sun.

    It hasn’t helped, the weather is still foul. I’d have the trade request in by the end of the day if I didn’t think 40 degrees in November was far worse

    I'm just reading on the AFL website that Collingwood will start their preseason at Gosches due to resurfacing works:

    What the actual [censored]? Please don't tell me we're stepping aside to accommodate those [censored]. I don't give a toss that we have Casey to train at. They can [censored] off somewhere else.... preferably Bairnsdale

    What have you got against Bairnsdale? 😀

    The Collingwood players should enjoy Bairnsdale. It would put them close to their supporter base at the Fulham Correctional Centre.

    100m or so boundary timed jogs for the young boys.

    Longer, quicker runs for the main group up the middle of the ground. 
     

    McAdam, Sestan, Gawn with the 2nd year talls in the slightly shorter distance group. KFW is leading them out well 

    Laurie, Judd, Spargo, Bowser maybe some others and with some effort the Tracc are in the group doing the furthest by a few extra metres. Obviously many of the best runners aren’t on deck today. 

    Everyone out there looks good tho

    Absentees from the track (not all required at this session of course):

     

    Chandler

    Oliver (maybe still with Kade in SA?)

    J Smith

    May

    Viney

    Brayshaw

    Hunter

    B Brown

    Petty

    Kosi

    Langdon

    Schache

    ANB

    Tomlinson

    Tmac moving freely - nice to see. Fritta did not join the group - rehabbing, but didn't look serious.

    All the draftees and rookie picks were there, plus Fullarton, McAdam, Billings. Marty Hore, fit and firing, like he never left...

    I thought I saw him on track but certainly wasn’t in any drills after 10:30, in fact I’d say it’s likely he was either in the tent or in aami

    I thought I saw Petty but then realised it was Jed Adams.  Reckon social media had it wrong.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
