Training on Wednesday is at Casey. The boys fly out to Adelaide that same day. 

Why are we flying to Adelaide on Wednesday for a Saturday game?

    Hunter one week away from a likely Casey appearance

    McAdam roughly 2 weeks

    Sparrow happy to be back in the middle on the weekend

    Would be fantastic if he could come in against Adelaide. Will especially help if Petty needs to play down back in the absence of May and/or BB needs a rest. 

    Petty was training as if playing forward today Jaded.  Not that that means he's fixed to play there of course

    BBB has gone back to the rooms but no strapping on the left knee this morning and no limp. 
     

     

    I told BBB there’s no sight more beautiful than his naked knees. 30 seconds later he headed back to the rooms. I hope I haven’t mozzed him.

    It’s a great move imo. As is staying in Adelaide ‘til after the Crows game.

    Perhaps so that the players are more settled and in a normal routine for Game Day than a regular interstate game. Happy to recreate the hub atmosphere that won us a flag if it means we aren't unsettled in these next two weeks.

    I’ve now heard from three separate people that AMW is this far *holds thumb and forefinger half a millimeter apart* from getting a call -up. He’s working so hard and has been for ages. Really happy for him.

    That's some heavy strapping on Chin's knee. If he's out who replaces him?

    Last year's Gather Round was a disaster. Flew back from Perth and then to Adelaide and proceeded to lose to Essendon 🤮 Clearly applying the learnings from that debacle.

    I reckon they are really setting themselves for these 2 games and will be looking at it as a positive i.e. rather than making two trips to Adelaide throughout the year we knock them both off.

    Both are going to be tough games, but I'll back the boys in and think they will steal themselves to try go 2-0 in Adelaide.

    As they should - at our best no one touches us.  If the club is taking that mindset I applaud it!

    If that’s the case, he probably needs to get in before McAdam is ready to go.

    AMW had another good game for Casey, good not great.

    Who cares when they fly to Adelaide? Are you their wives? Let the club do what they think will work best for this absolute BS of a fixture we’ve been lumped with.

    Would really set up our season if we go 2-0 in Adelaide and potentially 6-1 or 5-2 after Anzac eve.

    Port's going to be really tough though. One of the hardest interstate trips in footy.

    Not afraid to apply defensive physicality on his opponents. That is a desirable trait in the big league. Imagine Goody, Rick and Max on the Casey balcony last Sunday were fully cognizant.
     

    For those with leanings to “learnings” lessons is perfectly adequate. Even Simon says ‘learning’ now.

    Particularly interested in Melk and Turner being in the main group already.  How well did they move?  And were they involved at all in competitive work?

    Fairly light run today, as it is the recovery session. Mainly grid work, large and small, with goal kicking to finish. 

    Some of those who didn't play Saturday and have now integrated back into training did extra laps at the end. Tracc and Sparrow also joined them.

    Hunter hitting up beautiful kicks. Turner looks fit. Melky into everything. 

    Viney looked like he has a small niggle. In the run throughs was behind the pack, which is unusual. 

    Petty without restrictions, was kicking goals 50 meters out with accuracy and ease. McAdam and Sparrow joined in as well.

    Chandler in the rehab has some light strapping on left knee.

    TMac didn't do much with the group, mainly running laps.

    Bowey working hard, running sprints, then laps.

    And great news on Lever. But he's pretty heavily strapped. 

    I thought Lever was lightly strapped, and did a 30 minute workout with a trainer. Looks good to go.

    It could be either:

    (a) the club got an excellent rate on hotel rooms for the week, saving money given Adelaide hotel prices for Gather Round

    (b) to effectively deal with jet lag

    (c) to allow time for a barossa valley tour

    (d) all of the above

    How far away are Hunter, Turner and McAdam?

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
