    Pretty sure AMW is here, as is Bowey. Bowser is on the bike right now.

    Sharp running the boundary now too.

    Math SIM is not a traditional SIM. Mids are setup on the wings with the plays starting either from a loose ball on the wing or from a free kick from half back. Plays are mostly confined to one side of the ground along

    Are they calculating the velocity of the ball and the optimal angles for kicking goals? 😜

    Edit: Blinman got in first haha

    Given the current attrition rate recent claims of training down the house may need sober re-assessment.

    Seem to be subbing players on and off in the match sim. A couple of them are feeling a bit off, nothing serious. Max is back in the sim.

    Reporting on training for Demonland is harder than it looks, especially with a phone that is determined to use the wrong words and change a player's name. Anyway, it wound up at 12:15 with a lot of gassed players.

    Happy birthday to Disco Turner!

    Thanks to the track watchers can’t wait to read some of the training reports that may come in the next few hours! Do we think checkers will be right for round 1 since his now back into main training? We have so many exciting players who can also play in the middle some really good ones will be unlucky to miss out on selections

    Novice track watcher here but was a bit of an ordinary session? Not a whole lot to take out of it or be impressed by. Not sure what I was expecting but felt a bit flat and skills were average. Granted, Ricky Mentha suprised me and could get games on the wing/half forward this year, looks like he’s really improved. Good number of players out on the park, the few in rehab don’t look far away at all so I think we’re doing well in that area.

    I’ll also add- JVR looks a different player, in fact I didn’t even realise it was him until halfway through the session because he is moving so much smoother, he looks lighter and more agile, think last year he was too heavy and that was part of the issue, running really well

    A bit of repetition but here goes.

    All players present but Tom Campbell joined the group in his neck brace, with his kids, towards the end of training.

    Those in rehab and looking some way away (6) - Bowey, Henderson, Viney, Melksham, McAdam (a particular concern as he now seems to be heavily favouring his left knee) and Salem (hard to judge what he has done - but doing only very light work today).

    Petty and Kentfield in fluoro caps (no contact) and did all the craft work, so no match sim for them, but suggest they are not far away.

    Same for Sharp, Gawn and AMW - did most of the drills, but no match sim.

    Match sim was interesting - with no Gawn or Campbell, Johnson and Heath do the ruck work. In and under were Steele, Rivers, Lindsay, Windsor, Kosi and Sparrow with Langdon and Culley setting up in one wing position and Langford and Tholstrup (Onley alternating) on the other side.

    We may be getting an insight into our mids this year....? Not Culley, not Langford - these two, with Langdon may rotate through the wings...

    GS keep in mind that it is training. It's like dancing with your sister. The real games show how much a player has improved or not.

    Feel sorry for him but I'm astonished he is still on our list

    I pondered what way I should describe what he was doing and came up with two legged hops because they really weren't jumps in the sense that he was in no way getting very much air time off the ground. They were more like bunny hops.

    The House Of Pain in effect, y'all

    I say the House Of Pain is in effect

    You know the House Of Pain is in effect y'all

    And anyone that steps up in gettin' wrecked

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
