    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.

    • 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.
