PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 7th March 2025

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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
