Demon Jack

Keilty and Hunt training with the forwards with the latter just nailing a flat drop punt at goal from 50m. Sounded good off the boot!

Jones, Viney, Harmes, Preuss and Melksham with the main group. EDIT: Also just saw KK training with the main group.

Garlett, Lever, Smith (of the Tim variety) and May in rehab.

Pruess in the VFL? I thought the coaching staff would've preferred to see another sample of the 'Prawn' ruck combo before round 1. Excited to see May in the red and blue though!

Yep, 2010. Incredible day at the G back when we could dispatch any non-Vic side at the G by 10 plus goals before copping a loss of a simliar magnitude ourselves the next week. Closest we've come since then was a draw in 2011. We're way overdue.

What a rubbish report on Channel 9 (although why am I not surprised). 90% of the story was Collingwood biased. Heck, Ben Reid's performance today was mentioned before anything remotely Melbourne related.

Vandenberg is a beast. Some massive, bone crunching tackles today

Jeffy with the crumb 60-35

Goal tally so far Two to Preuss Singles to Weideman, Stretch, JKH, T.Smith, Harmes, C.Wagner

C.Wagner with a lovely pass to Spargo, who misses the set shot.

50m to JKH who converts before the siren.

Terrible news. Absolutely devastated for Aaron. After all the excitment of being drafted and training with the boys with the possibility of some JLT appearances, I'm sure its a tough blow for the kid. Fingers crossed on his recovery.

Anyone who gets stuck into Brendon Goddard a quarter into their first game goes alright by my standards. Actually finding it hard to fathom that he was 18 years old all throughout last season. Never had massive stats but played with the composure of a 200 gamer. Wasn't overawed on the finals stage either.

Ha(r)mes' Hangers?

Hogan officially a Docker along with pick 65. We get picks 6 and 23 in return.

It's been strangely quiet today considering deadline is just over 48 hours away. God only knows how they've been able to fill the time on trade radio.

Well that was a waste of time. Thanks Freo. Hope you enjoy bottom four next year.

Thanks for everything Cam! Your stint as an undersized ruckman in 2017 in the absence of Max Gawn rightfully deserves its place in Demon folklore.

I remember that game. Big pressure relieving win for Dean Bailey after allegations of the team playing 'bruise free footy' (not entitely inaccurate). Maxy (who played a solid game) took a cracking grab on Fletcher and fittingly missed from 10 metres out directly in front.

If you think about it, this is Gus' first clear run of football since his first season in 2015. The poor kid has had some shocking luck over the last two seasons. Hopefully we give him every chance to cement his position in the team. He certainly wasn't our worst on Sunday.

We're in real need of another new Jack following the great 'Jack purge' between 2015 and 2017. Grimes, Fitzpatrick, Trengove and now Watts We desperately lack depth in this area.

First official image of Lever in the red and blue!

Definitely overs but I'm thrilled to have Jake at the club! I'm backing that Josh Mahoney still has a few tricks up his sleeve over the remainder of the trade period that will see us advance back up this/next year's draft order.

I dunno. Strikes me as 54 sort of guy.

Just a thought if the Crows don't budge on two first round picks. Would we be able to snare Sydney's first round pick as part of the potential Watts deal? As a basis, Watts + Pick 27 to Sydney for their first round pick (pick 13). Picks 10 + 13 to Adelaide for Lever.
