A cool and overcast day and I’m one of four spectators. The boys came out early today so maybe more people will turn up.

But more importantly, Melky is right for this weekend’s match. Yay! I asked him how on earth he copped such a deep gash… he said he landed awkwardly and it was his own boot stud that did the damage.

Spoke with Clarrie aka he who couldn’t tell a lie if his life depended on it. Private convo but please believe me when I say (again) if he leaves us, it won’t be his choice, ie. he’s a Demon and wants to remain a Demon, forever.

Richo said he knows Melk is my fave player but wanted to know who my favourite youngster is. I said it’s like picking my favourite child but if I hadda name one it’d be “Harves, The Bison.” Richo said he’s heard “The Bison” being mentioned and wanted to know where it came from. I told him it comes from DL, he likes it and promised to spread it. So, @Supreme_Demon… it looks like it’s a thing 🥳

Goody said he really appreciates supporters having faith in him all along. I thought duuuuude, you clearly DON’T read Demonland 🤣

Got a feeling TC might get a gig this week. Maybe I’m reading into things a little too much and/or maybe it’s coz that’s what I hope happens, but he spent a lot of time with the coaches today and the vibe was different.

Halfway to the bye and a trip to Perth is about a good a time as any to rest Gawn.

Are they just training now?

Nah, they came out at 1:40-ish and wrapped it up at 2:15. A lot of handballing drills and set shot practice.


Further to Ghosty's notes:

Absent today: May, Lever, Spargo, Pickett and Kentfield

Marty Hore continued his rehabbing with a physio.

The dreaded soccer ball was out - the boys love it. Petracca and Sestan gave it a miss and had a kick with Marty.

AJ was last off the field and was having some goal-kicking tuition with Chocco.

He needs it.

25 metres out and he kicks the cover off the ball for a behind. Rinse and repeat at Casey last game for 2:5

Any idea why Kentfield wasn't there? And is it correct that he has been showing quite a bit of promise as a key defender? I'd he back to his pre-illness size?

I watched the whole VFL game on the weekend and I thought he looked very solid as a key defender.

There's definitely something to work with. Atm Jed Adams is ahead of him, but that is expected given he's a bit older and hasn't had the same health issues recently.

Pure speculation - but Casey have a bye this weekend - we play in Perth, and he is from WA, so maybe time to see family? Yes, Lukar is looking quite comfortable off half-back. Needs game time and an uninterrupted pre-season to be able to put his best foot forward. I don't have any official measurements pre and post his illness - Ghosty?

Luker wasn’t there today but he is remarkably close to his pre-illness condition, I’d even go so far as to say he’ll be even fitter and more toned. He’s in a really good headspace, too.

He’s actually already looking very close to how he looked when he first came back. At that time he looked dreadful; he’d lost all his muscle tone and a ton of weight, his face was gaunt and he looked terribly weak. He was literally unrecognisable. He came over to say hello and I wondered who this guy was and why he greeted me with such familiarity. The moustache was the only giveaway. The poor thing looked like death warmed up.

Hope so - we are desperate to find our next KPD.

If our kids develop quickly we could have a shot at another flag around 2027 but we'll need a May replacement by then.

I watched that game on tv , and to be fair, it was a windy morning.


thanks for the training reports . I love reading them and my mind goes back to Herald Sun training reports that just said.

Melbourne

X person 3 weeks

Y person 6 weeks

And that’s all footy starved supporters got.

TC is Tom Campbell.

Good to hear that Kentfield is showing promise.

I have high hopes for him.

Intercept marking improving.

Very slow to assess & react in terms of moving the ball on. He'll need to get up to speed with the modern game style or maybe he is but lacking confidence in his ball skills by foot. Maybe a bit of both?

Either way he has a bit of work to do me thinks.

Wonderful news!

Alan Richardson actually used to coach my local football club many, many years ago! 😎👍🏻

Please also tell Clarry we love him! I want to see him play over 350+ games for the Melbourne Football Club! 🔴🔵

@Ghostwriter ditto that re Clarry! I did have a bit of a chuckle re “he who couldn’t tell a lie if his life depended on it”—only because with all the speculation about him in previous years, it’s funny to think all you’d have to do is ask him.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
