They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise. 

Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers.

They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise.

36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages.

Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes.

Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sims.

Oliver is ball handling, required some re-taping after the first drill.

McVee, McAdam, and AMW step away from the main squad, and are now with the trainers (light duries, goal kicking and easy laps). Melky joins the main squad.

They are now into full field drills. Precise kicking, hard calls, drive the ball through the centre, and run. They rotate through the whole area, goal to goal, and both wings.

Structured sims now. 9 against 18. 

Woey in the backline.

Sims finish, and McVee, McAdam, AMW, join the group again.

Salem, Spargo do easy, repetitive 200 metres runs.

McQualter has them in the middle, chatting away, Chaplin then does some demonstrations. May and Goody chip in. They appear to be getting into the nitty gritty.

They break, some continue talking, some off to kick goals (16 of them), others leave the field, the low ball getters as well (Laurie, Vines, Rivers, Howes, Sestan, Woey, Hore).

Goody one on one talk with Langdon. 

Choco with the goal kickers, mainly Fullarton. Then Tracc goes over for some tips but Choco stays with Tom.

Oliver on the boundary by himself, sprinting. Now hard running laps.

Choco now with Sparrow for some 45 metre goal kicking. 

Last out there is Petty and over walks Choco to help with his goal style kicking. Takes them from all the angles. Hits most of them.

Just noticed Viney, still working with a trainer, as well as Melky and Salem.

Oliver still lapping.

Oliver after laps, he did some sprints, and more laps. Ended up on his haunches,  gathering wind, a trainer comes over and they do a slap handshake. He finishes by picking up the equipment with the crew.

It is nearly all packed up, except Salem still running laps.

Had a chat to to one of the crew, reckons McVee is fine, just light duties, and they have a main session Sunday out at Casey.

Salem and Oliver walk off together.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
