Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin and Demon Dynasty were once again on hand at this morning's Captain's Run at Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from training.

KEV MARTIN'S CAPTAIN'S RUN OBSERVATIONS

No-one in rehab this morning, a Captain's run, 26 players.

Laurie, Tomlinson, Tholstrup, Chandler, Woey, and Kossie are out there.

Rehabbers are out now. Marty, McAdam, Melky, Bowey, Sestan.

As a guess for in and outs, I would say, out Laurie, Tomlinson, and Woey as they were mainly in the yellow vest in the structural sims. <--- Admin Edit: This was the first inkling we had that Kolt would be debuting

Tholstrup was doing plenty off the half-forward. 

Chandler was running hard, giving the knee a test, no problems. 

There are group, maybe 20, from the area around Alice Springs (Ntaria). One of them will toss the coin at the game. The indigenous players all made some time for them. All in the MFC colours of their own club. The MFC also handed them some scarves.

MFC Casey players are out now.

All rehabbers have joined them, MartyMcAdam, Melky, Bowey, Sestan.

Sestan has some left shoulder strapping.

McAdam doing well. Accelerating with power and some beautiful shimmies and cutting lines in a handball comp/drill.

No, not Marty. Trainers call him out, he wanted to be in the drills, but no. Also, not Bowey. Though they both play in the structural sims.

White caps are Sestan and Turner, (no tackling).

Hunter doing some instructions when the sims breaks.

The squad is looking classy, rarely any errors.

McAdam is looking the goods, (in the sim), running hard defensively and when attacking. 

Schache is playing well.

Jefferson gets lost at times, needs more work on his decisions and intention. When he has space, he kills it with skills.

Andy Moniz-Wakefield is in the backline.

DEMON DYNASTY'S CAPTAIN'S RUN OBSERVATIONS

Get a big cheer did he?

Moniz-Wakefield a minor calf setback but apparently now good to go with Casey this week

McAdam right to go post the bye.  Possibly via Casey?

The boys were in great spirits today. 

Big voices and energy all round.

Some concerned faces and banter between Clarry and a few trainers towards the end but wouldn't read too much into that for now.

  • 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?
