The boys are coming over in dribs and drabs. First two dribs (drabs?) were Tmac and Spaz. Biggest smiles ever! Spaz walking taller for sure. Tmac said he’s relieved the 250 is done and dusted, now on to this weekend

    Idk why Tom Sparrow was walking taller; he was pretty poor on the weekend if I'm being honest. thought he really let us down in that first half

    thought he was definitely one of our best on for the game, best game he's played for us through the midfield

    Please don’t anyone panic if you see Kozzie has his right leg bandaged. It’s sore but it’s only a corky. He’s gonna be fine for the weekend.

    According to AMW Riv likely won’t be playing this weekend. He has a knee issue and they’re looking to make sure he’s 100% before playing him again.

    Disco is a Test for this week. He himself feels right to go but it will all hinge on how he goes at main training.

    Some of the boys have left already. They have a bike session lined up. The remaining boys will be leaving soon too. They have a running session.

    He’s not here. If I get the chance I’ll try to get an update from staff. Thing is, there are not many staff members here. Taylor Whitford is the only one out there.

    Thanks for that - I presume it’s a lighter session (on the body based off bikes and running and no contact) and more about endurance building?

    I have noticed we seem to be quite fit this year.

    Bowser and Disco, Hendo and Koz just kick-to-kick while the others play a kinda halfbaked match sim of sorts, the white bibs being the only sign of a match sim. Steeley and Petts also kick-to-kick but I think their reason is coz it’s fun. 😁

    Speaking of fun, the very first thing Koz said about Sunday was “That was fun!”

    Vines is out here now. In great spirits. He’s working with a physio and is doing more than in previous sessions.

    Bowser said they’re expecting him to be right by round 7/8 but he’ll need some time at the VFL since he’s had no preseason. He said at the end of every single training session, he feels fitter and stronger than before.

    I spoke to Cub (Taylor Whitford). Paddy has a broken thumb. Won’t be available this week of course but “won’t be out of the game for too long.” Cub also said they’re really pleased with his performance on Sunday

    Did AMW say anything about his prospects of playing senior footy in the short-term?

    Would love to see him back but understand he may need some minutes in the VFL first.

    Thanks for the info GW. I have to say at half time on Sunday I had tossed in the towel.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • 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.
