Anyone who isn’t here at Gosch’s yet but was planning on coming, maybe don’t bother. They’ve been out here for a while and the session is still only 30 minutes in length.

Good to see Jai out here. He and Maysie are exercising with Keith the physio. Got a thumbs up and a big smile from Jai, he’s in great spirits.

Luker, Marty, Kolt, Melk and Judd training away from the main group. All looking good.

The rest of the boys are playing soccer. Red vs White. I’m tipping white to win because Clarrie’s in that team

Keith the physio says Maysie’s out for a period “yet to be determined.” He said it’s not as serious as Maxy’s larynx injury. I asked if the culprit’s initials are TOM CAMPBELL. 😂

I said to Keith it’s not good to have Maysie out but it shows the boys are going in hard. He replied, “Yes! They certainly are, and we love it. We absolutely love it.”

It’s a WHITEwash thus far.

Game over. I wasn’t keeping score but White are the clear winners.

'Clear winners' suggests quite a few goals? Hope that continues into the weekend...

Two separate groups running/walking around the boundary. Bowsa says it’s a heart-rate test.

Well, I clearly have nfi because it turns out it was a 2-all draw. I only saw the White team’s celebrations which were way more conspicuous than those of the Red team. Clarrie says the White team would’ve won if his teammate hadn’t missed an easy one. He didn’t name which teammate that was. 


Light recovery session as reported by Ghosty.

Absent: Spargo, Brown, Windsor, Campbell

Rehabbing: Culley and May running gently together - separate group of Melksham, Tholstrup, Kentfield, McVee and Hore

All in good spirits - training at Casey later in the week with Captain's run back at Gosch's on Saturday at 10 am.

 

Walking down Walsh St, opposite side of the Yarra from the Paddock, I could hear the boisterousness of the MFC players.

Beautiful Autumn day here.

Arrived as they did some runs. The players out there, ran well. Looks like we got through the game physically well.

Goal kicking looked accurate. Before they started, Williams gave them the run down of what he expects. Ended with many having snaps from the boundary. Bowey has beautiful control.

There were four of them not kicking goals, but passing between each other, Howes, Sestan, Laurie and Woey. 

Melky has slimmed down quite a bit (very top light), cannot be far off.

Spargo not being here is concerning, if he played the practice match for Casey, wouldn't he be in the recovery session? (Unless he has his own program)

Training at Casey tomorrow morning and Friday morning, the serious stuff. Not a sch’tt nor a giggle to be seen.

Were you still there on Saturday after it finished? 

I walked in as everyone vanished so I decided to do a bit of my own exercise on the oval instead :)

Sounds like a match day thread post

Marty’s been told he’s in the Casey side this week 🥳 He’s rapt. His last hand injury took forever to heal. This time the healing is ahead of the expected time.

The Bison wasn’t happy with his game on Sunday. He said he’s looking forward to “getting a run” next time he plays which I took to mean he hopes to start or at least be brought on earlier. While he wasn’t happy with his game, his confidence hasn’t taken a blow at all. He knows he’s got a lot more to show us (but not the same as what Sam Lalor unintentionally showed everyone when celebrating his first goal (Google it) 🤭

Yep, I was still there (I’m usually last to leave 😁) but I didn’t see anyone on the oval. We could’ve had a kick-to-kick sesh, Layz! 😃

Should have had the president come down.

There will always be time for one more mention that he tried out with Manchester United.

I’m glad he is aware of it. It was only a quarter and a bit so somewhat understandable.

Thanks Ghostwriter, Kev Martin, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters and special comments. Light run Tuesday, great to see everyone fit and healthy apart from AJ (suspension) and the Duke with that foot issue flaring up again, I hope they get that infection under control asap a fit Windsor is  key to our future success and I want to see Langford play a full game this week.👍😁

5 disposals for 20% game time was not too bad

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
