Apart from a raucous soccer match, not much to report since I spent almost the entire session (all 20 minutes of it) with the most delightful gaggle of 14yo schoolgirls. Their energy was electric. Their teacher, Mr Hawkins, said they were hoping to get a selfie with Max. I said leave it to me. They ended up getting selfies with Max, Clarrie, Tracc and Kozzie and several others. Were they excited? You betcha!

The mood was upbeat and positive. No Kev or Wallbanger so likely no decent training report. Soz @Roost it far

Actually, not Soz. The school kids had such an amazing effect on everyone. They were standing a fair way from the tent so I went and brought them over and everyone was smiling, such was their infectious enthusiasm. The players, the coaches, other spectators, everyone.

    Did you tell Kosi that we are all waiting over here holding our breath, and we might be dead soon?

    I was there Ghosty - we thought you were just blanking us because you were all over the coverage on Monday - maybe Kosi not the only one considering a significant contract?

    My report just filed elsewhere - I am sure the administrators can merge them....

    I told him I know he’s already signed. He smiled and said “Have I?” Then he laughed. I told him it’s mean to keep everyone waiting. He said, “Nah, it’s all good.”

    A full attendance for the light recovery session today and great to see AMW also present and in good spirits. He mentioned to us that he has been building up his upper body given the significance of his knee injury.

    Viney had the glove on his hand and was doing one on one work with a trainer. Oli Sestan also doing particular work, given his slight hamstring strain, which kept him out of the Casey game.

    Spargo, Lever, Hore, Melksham, Campbell and Henderson all seemed to be doing only light work and did not join the (gulp) soccer game.

    More goal-kicking practice, and Trac - becoming a bit of a theme - was last off the track.

    Our general observation was that the results were "mixed".

    Yeah there’s a captain’s run at Adelaide Oval on Saturday. It’s an open session. We haven’t been told what time it starts but I can post it here when we find out. It’s usually in the early afternoon.

    I'm 0-2 in my "this might be a weird question but are you known elsewhere as Ghosty or WCW?"

    I am not Ghosty. Ghosty can elaborate on the Ghosty/WCW connection...

    What connection? There is no connection. No one knows anything. You can't prove it. I know nothing

    Captain’s run tomorrow at Adelaide Oval beginning at 2:15pm. It runs for 30 minutes and there’ll be autograph/selfie opportunities afterwards.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
