    I dropped past as I was in the area, they were about to start an intra club with official AFL umpires. There looked to be a few Casey players to make up the numbers, unfortunately I couldn't hang around to watch as I had to get going. I was hoping somebody else could fill us in but I'm not holding my breath as I didn't see anyone else watching on.

    My friend attended training yesterday and this is what she texted me … 

    “Went to training today and wow just wow- I have never seen them like this! It was full-on. Serious training no holding back. Only me and 2 other spectators. 
    

    The rehab group were on the back oval- but all were running, moving and kicking  really well as far as I could see. 

    The boys are so fit! I can’t wait to see them actually out on the ground.”

    Agree - what's he done? Was really hoping he could build some continuity, shows a lot

    He sprained an ankle just before Christmas. Haven't heard whether that is still the issue, but he still wasn't back with the main group doing match sim last Wednesday at Gosch's. He was running freely with the other rehabbers, so hopefully a cautious approach being taken at this stage. Not sure what he did last Friday at Casey?

    Hurt his foot/ankle. Back running and plan is to rejoin main training in the next 1-2 weeks.

    Intra-club in January with AFL umpires. Is that normal?

    Very normal. Gets earlier every year to be honest. Majority of clubs are into match simulations with umpires (umpires need training too😂).

    Unofficial practice games start in just a bit over 4 weeks so it’s all systems go!

    Most of the outside world have us finishing 15-16 this year. 
    It will be very special if we can get back to finals this year. 
    Hopefully the whole Football Department has set a Standard that will not be compromised.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
