Selwyn instructed players to head for gym for a session with Tommy Turner the strength and conditioning coach. Suspect that's the main reason for players attending today as the ground training has never been so light. 

Kolt injury still being monitored before a return to full training is decided.

Bring on moomba

    Did they confirm his injury is back related?

    Rather than elbows knees or toes?

    As reported a light fun session - not even any running, probably because they will do an intraclub tomorrow at Casey.

    Absent: McVee and Woewodin (just the other 41, no George)

    Injury/Rehab: Culley in a moon boot, Hore's bandage off, but still just using one hand. JVR and Petty seem fine. Melksham and Spargo did everything and Kolt also joined the drills.

    Apparently back at Gosch's next Tuesday and for the Captain's Run next Saturday

    It’s his foot. Unless the medics have lied to him, that is. He says it’s his foot.

    AFL injury report is hopeless they had it listed as back on Tuesday

    Jai’s moonboot is purely precautionary because he has “a very minor foot thing”

    His favourite Dees player growing up? Despite the media citing Max and Vines, he actually has never had a single favourite player, rather he loved the midfielders. Even as a little kid he’s always loved the midfielders.

    Was he a Dee’s fan?

    Through and through. Third generation of diehard Dees fans. His family is delighted he’s now a Dee. He admitted he was anxious about getting on our list but when it happened it was the best birthday gift ever.

    Big thanks Ghostwriter, Demons1858, Demon Jack, Harvey Wallbanger & Kev if you are there, plus all posters and special comments. Pretty light run today, great to hear that Rooey, Petty and Spargs are all in full training and Kolt is back training lightly in boots and hopeful that Jai isn’t seriously injured.👍😁

    He is included on Casey's primary list.

    Thanks K.C.

    Glad he will be with Casey but was specifically referring to him (no longer) training with the MFC senior squad.

    I reckon every boy dreamed of playing for his favourite team. (Probably girls now too!)

    You reckon that will be open to the public Ghosty or just creep vibes through the fence?

    All about bonding.

    Most of the drills had a competive edge to it.

    Golf with a footy, closest to the pin.

     Group handballing, with one more ball than the number of contestants. The one handling two balls was out, last man standing gets the chocolates. 

    Snaps for goal off passes, two teams, first one to countdown to zero wins.

    Two groups, handles ball then passes to end the set. First to finish wins.

    Kind of juvenile, they were all regressed back to teenagers. Plenty of noise and excitement filled the paddock.

    Now that the AFL list is complete, and the season is about to begin, I don't think we'll see Roy training with the main group again. First Casey match is against North on Sunday 23rd March at 11.05 am - makes it tricky to get to both games!

    Unfortunately not open. Creep vibes through the fence will have to suffice.

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
