Training with the main group? Modified program? Or just present at Gosch’s?

Doing his time trial currently, appears to be with the main group

    Are they all (those who are not injured) doing their time trials this morning?

    Looks like it, they're doing it in groups so it's a bit hard to tell who's in the rehab group and who's just not doing theirs currently.

    Oliver, Fritsch, Salem and a kid in #46 I don't recognise look like they're doing the rehab program.

    Tommo and nibbler are miles ahead of their group and almost racing each other with tommo just pulling ahead

    Time trials done. All going over to get a much needed drink.

    They picked a rough day to do time trials, might only be 10am but in the sun it's bloody hot

    Oliver kicking to Fritta on a lead, both clearly doing a modified program to main group.

    Salem wandered off somewhere also not with the main group

    The band’s back together!

    SOOO good to see Gussy. i got a greasy hug. Sunscreen everywhere. He apologised, I said worth it just to see you looking so well. He noticed my Demonland T-shirt, I told him everyone on DL loves him and are stoked he’s playing on.

    Noah Yze is here! Looks like his dad.

    Kozzie looks great, so fit!

    Today’s session is easy for me to explain… running. Running, running and more running. Poor bastards, I’m knackered just watching them 🥵 

    Maysie just walked past and said “this is the worst, I [censored] hate this” 🤣

    The rig on Tommo!!! Apparently he just ran the fastest, according to my buddy who timed them. So, not official. But hella fast.

    Is that TMc or Tomlinson? I assume the latter.

    Pretty sure I just saw billings in #33 getting called JB so maybe him and Fullarton have swapped jumpers

    Kolt aka my new bestie came over to say hello. He said, “nice sunnies!” They’re wraparounds so I said, “Yep, I’m rocking the Kolt look today, except mine are Versace, you probably bought yours at the servo for $20” He said, “$25 actually.” 😂

    Yeah I really need to go to SpecSavers. I’m having such a hard time telling Petts and Jed apart, and they’re only five feet away from me. 😑

    Doesn't help when they're swapping shirts to confuse us, pretty sure I saw Viney in #35 just before but who knows

    Currently doing ground ball gets or marks with tackling pressure.

    Notable absences - kosi and Fritta doing some running together. Oliver doing some running. And Gus doing a seperate drill with a trainer in the dreaded fluro cap

    Theory; If they’re still using last years jumpers Fullarton will be more comfortable in Hibbo’s fuller jumper than Billings.

    Forwards vs defenders now

    Defenders start with the ball then work it out to miss who turn over then practice a forward entry

    Defenders: may, TMAC, Judd, bowey and disco? (I can't tell)

    Forwards: McAdams, jvr, Laurie, sesten and brown

    Similar thing happening on the other side of the ground but I'm too far to see any detail

    Cannot believe I'm saying this but Ben Brown looked really good. Took a strong contested mark and another on a lead

    • 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.
