    So, either something to do with coffee or a product that launches. SpaceX? Starbucks (they do appear to be upping their interest in Australia)?

    Jaguar?

    How is this possible with a competitor already as a sponsor?

    First time at training this year for me. 

    There appeared to be two levels of rehab,  the more serious one contained KK, May, Jones and Walker.  They did heaps of running starting with straight line three quarter pace 100m and 200m runs and at the end they were doing lots of laps.  None looked very inconvenienced.  Hannan was just walking laps, tried to find out what the issue was but got nothing.

    The second rehab group was quite big but my guess is that they were just on light duties after Saturday.  I'm not sure I'll get all of them but Maynard, Petracca, Viney, Lever, Hibberd, Stretch, Melksham, JKH, AVB, Baker and Nev Jetta.  They did lots of handball drills but no running that I saw.

    The rest of the group did very light duties.  Gentle run throughs, a little bit of kicking to leading players and some goal kicking and crumbing snaps.  Today was clearly just a gentle "get the legs moving" session after Saturday.

    Spoke to some of my contacts down there who reiterated what Saty has been saying about rehab but recognized we'd been a bit unfortunate not to have the number of players in full training mainly because it makes doing the drills a bit more problematic. 

    Another positive was that this year all our recruits bar Hore have done the major part of the preseason which will stand them in good stead for the season and is unusual as usually the young guys struggle with the loads and carry injuries from the TAC season.

    Anybody notice anyone training, or are you all getting stuck into free coffee and looking under car bonnets?

    What, exactly, was going on in that Preuss photo? It lends itself to a caption competition. 

    Confused the tree with Maxy, common mistake.

    Yes it was a very light session. I spoke briefly to Justin Plapp who said a number of players pulled up sore after Saturday’s training, guessed they were not used to wet weather footy. He was upbeat about the squad and how they are training, that the rehab group is getting smaller by the week and that Clarrie is back to full training. As KK ran past he commented that he is going to be very good for us this season.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
