Don’t panic - it’s only a question as to whether he trained at this point. 

Any word on Harry Petty?

    As noted, Petts trained as normal.

    Observation.

    Langdon has his tongue sticking out in 2 of the 3 shots he’s in on the photo gallery. Club should do a Langdon version of ‘Where’s Wally?’

    100s of Lingers poking tongues out except one.
    This probably belongs in the half baked idea thread.

    And…

    There’s nothing hampering him. He’s training and playing as if back spasms never even happened.

    Is that enough elaboration for you, Sire?

     

    btw I’m annoying my sister from another mister, messaging her begging for info and it’s all because of you!

    Isn't this at odds with the medical prognosis? - though I'm lost with it, I understood it was bone stress in his foot, but on the AFL site they refer to his back.

    I thought it was a bone in his foot, at the top of his foot (where shoelaces are). I’m quite sure that’s what he said. But according to my buddy he was running a lot today and it makes sense because we saw him taking his first run last Friday and he kept on running so I imagine he’s improving with each time.

    Any update on how Henderson looks at training?

    I have a friend who lives in Frankston and she goes to training at “Crannie” as she calls it. I didn’t want old mate Roost it far to bang on all day about a training report, or lack thereof, so I was messaging her like, just give me something… anything! 😅

    Hendo trained but no specific update on him. The gates were locked and my friend couldn’t see much of what was going on.

    Hope they did lots of goal kicking practice.

    Get David Neitz down to training to help them out!

     

    Neitz kicked 24 goals in 4 games around the time of those highlights.

    That is just plain sick.

    Richo used to open the gate if there was only a couple of spectators. Someone on DL expressed their displeasure and now the gate is never opened. I’m not saying that this is the reason why, but if it’s a coincidence, it’s a huge one. Unfortunately my sis from another mr was one of those lucky (now unlucky) spectators. ☹️

    • 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?
