Beautiful sunny morning for a scooter ride.

    Early scoop from The Ghostwriter:

    Hey Katnip,

    Some early info…

    It’s bloody hot already. It’s only 9am and Vines is running laps, he has to leave training early for a family function. The new boys will be here this morning but not participating in training per se. 

    According to Goody we will “high likely”be picking up Ricky Mentha tonight 

    As you know, Kat, despite being described as “… an athletic brute who imposes himself on the contest” Aidan’s nickname is Peaches. 

    The new boys will be going to the Mansfield camp.

    JT is looking pretty damn happy with himself… And so he should.

    More to come.

    According to Ghostwriter, Harry Sharp is there, but Aidan “Peaches” Johnson isn’t. Probably has to clear things up with his job today.

    More from GW:

    JT said we’re definitely picking up Ricky Mentha, it’s not official yet until all the paperwork is done some time this arvo. This was always plan, ie. if he makes it through the draft, which he has, we’d get him as a cat. B rookie.

    Langford is warming up with the main group. 

    Lindsay is doing some drills/exercises with Spargo. Not sure if that is because he is in rehab or not. 

    Lindsay is coming off a PCL so is probably a month or so off full training 👍🏼

    Clarry has come off the track and taken his boot off and is applying something to what appears to be a blister. 

    He’s got to get used to being back in hard work mode. Nonetheless, hope it doesn’t get infected…!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
