In beautiful sunshine, the boys are out on Traeger Park. A few players doing specific drills while almost everyone else is having goal kicking practice. Jake doing some sort of resistance or strengthening work with a rubber tether. Clarry doing some running through the middle of the ground. Kosi spectating so far. Jack was out there for a while but can’t see him now. Only a handful of spectators.

    Session finished with the boys coming to the fence, signing autographs and posing for selfies. All smiles. Only perhaps 100 fans at best, so everyone had a spot on the fence and could get involved. A guy next to me told one of the players that he'd come from Toronto for the game! I thought I'd done well to make it here from Melbourne. Shout out to him if he reads this.

    Traeger Park in great condition for the game. Boys were fantastic as usual signing autographs and having a chat. Perfect game day weather for tomorrow

    Apologies if I've missed updates elsewhere - is Kozz a certainty to play?

    Only players I didn't spot were Sparrow and Petty, but that doesn't mean they weren't there because every player was wearing the same T-shirt and shorts, many with identical caps. But those two didn't come to the fence to sign autographs, so I don't think they were there, or perhaps went off the ground early as did Viney and Lever.

    They were both there FM. 👍

    • 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.
