    Last Tuesday the sessions were advertised as above but in reality there were three sessions with the first session beginning at 10:30am.

    Tomorrow may or may not be the same as last week 🤷‍♀️

    No information yet on main training - guessing that it will be out at Casey, given we don't play until Sunday....

    Yeah main training will be at Casey because we aren’t playing interstate.

    I’ve just had it confirmed that unlike last Tuesday, tomorrow’s sessions will start at the scheduled times, ie. the first session begins at 12:15pm and the second at 2:45pm. Each session will go for 45 minutes.

    Training hasn’t started yet but I’ve already got an update on Disco!

    Disco has a broken hand. He had surgery yesterday morning and is expected to be back in Round 4.

    This is from our head physio. I just ran into him at the cafe under AAMI.

    It’s AJ I almost hurt. He was coming out of the cafe as I was walking in. It was a close call. I know who’d come off second best. Clue… not AJ

    That’s good news! Didn’t know how long he would be out for but this is the best news he only misses a week hopefully!!

    Round 4 is next week? So he might just miss the one week?

    Would be a pretty good result if so.

    Depending on the severity of the break, i would have thought one week is pretty common.

    I might be imaginimg this, but i seem to remember a number of examples over the years of a player breaking their hand, getting a plate put in and then being good to go after only missing one or two games (it's probably helpful we have an 8 day break into the blues game and then 7 day's into the Suns game).

    Once they insert a plate depending how big the crack is, and in this case it sounds like a small one, then its more so the wound that needs to heal then the actual break as the plate would be there holding it together.

    Doesn't make it any less amazing though.

    The quality of medical intervention, and the toughness of the players.

    Unfortunately probably not. Recovering from achillies and a calf I believe

    31 players availed of the early flush session (plus Vines (makes 32) - see below), so probably easier to note who wasn't there.

    Viney turned up after the others and was doing some serious wrestling and stationery work, so it looks like the achilles is OK for that type of work - no significant running yet though.

    Of the rehabbers - Luker was part of the 31 - no strapping, but didn't do the modest handball game they undertook.

    Melky (no strapping) ,Fritta and Langford did just laps at various stages. Campbell doing some very limited mobility work - did not join the game. Others who played on the weekend (TMac part of the 31 above) who did not do the session:

    Van Rooyen, Lever, Matthews, Rivers, Petty, Kosi - may do the afternoon session?

    Rehabbers not present: Turner, Bowey, Jefferson, McAdam, White, Johnson.

    Trackwatchers a little concerend about Langford - doesn't look well (did little of the session) and left early.

    Otherwise the boys looked in reasonable spirits.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
