    Kev, I’m guessing they’re not having a break after Wednesday’s match, rather they don’t wanna advertise training because they want certain sessions to be ‘closed’ sessions, as in, no fans attending. 🤷‍♀️ 

    Anyways, Seeya there! 👍🏽

    Will be interested to hear track watchers insights on McAdam, given he's seemingly overcome his injury and out of his rehabilitation period.

    Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies. 

    Forwards out first. Petty, JVR, Billings, Chandler, Kossie, Fritsch, and coach Stafford. 

    The backs join them, May, Lever, Woey, McVee, Howes, TMac, Rivers, Turner, and coach Chaplin.

    A trainer and Choco are on the fence talking.

    The mids are now making their way over. Oliver,Tracc, Laurie,  Langdon, Sparrow, Max, Viney, ANB, Windsor.

    Choco talking to the crew after the first drill. "They were excellent because of the way we set it up". Kicks between the mannequins, then one over the mannequins. He also said to Wheelan, "Kossie has shown me at least 10 pics of it, he is so happy".

    Goody is standing in the centre, watching the goings on, as they drill. The noise volume is great. 

    Chaplin has been taking most of the talking and directional instructing. 

    Goody pulls them into a centre circle and chats away. Ends with one structured sim and a week to backline set up after a point.

    The call, OK Boys, then a whistle, and back to the sheds.

    Daniel Turner training is interesting. 

    Good to see Kozzie training.

    I believe BBB has scheduled training sessions off to manage his ongoing knee issues so potentially there is nothing unusual there.

    Looks likely to be Pickett & Laurie in for Salem & Kolt

    Laurie to be brought in as the extra mid rotation it seems.

    I think Turner is forward. 

    When the backline gathered he wasn't with them.

    Choco is putting plenty of time into him as he kicks for goal at the end of the session.

    Those playing with Casey are now on the Paddock, 16 of them.

    Bowey in the white cap.

    BBB is with them, so is McAdam, Fullarton and Tholstrup. 

    BBB and McAdam of to the side doing their own kick to kick with a trainer.

    He might be one game short of a gallop but I would love to see Turner come in for BBB tomorrow night and play forward. He's aggressive,  quick off the mark, can kick for goal, compete and, best of all, versatile. Just needs a reasonable run with injury.

    Great to hear.  Looks like his performance in the second half with Casey up forward did not go unnoticed

    Laurie in for Clarry?  Strapping and/or glove still on?  Looks fine or is he restricted in any way?

    Is anyone able to confirm if Laurie is training with the mids?

    Clarry looks fine, going about it with plenty of concentration and professionalism. 

    Some strapping, I didn't notice any hinderances.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
