Pre-Season 'Teams'

Featured Replies

Posted

I noticed on Nate's twitter today he said:

The Pre season training teams competition began today ... We had the draft and it should be pretty close this year as teams are pretty even

I always find this pretty interesting and entertaining. For example, to see who are the captains, who they pick, what they do for tasks and challenges etc. I'm sure we'll get some sort of report and pics down the track, but was just wondering if anyone on the inside had any idea who the teams were or any details?

 

No info Toot182 (two). Sorry.

Just as an aside. Will be sorry to see the great Richie Benaud go after this summer. The nine commentary team will never be the same...

Absolute legend Richie. Commentated for so long. Marvellous effort that.

Back to thread.

I hope Brent Moloney and Aaron Davey are the captains for this exercise.

I am absolutely fine if this thread gets moved away from this and discusses the many Pro's of Richie, because there are way too many.... He really is the golden voice of cricket, nay, sport.

But, hopefully, we can get some info pretty soon on the pre-season. I'm hoping some stuff will begin to come out when the new Draftee's join in a couple of weeks :D


not sure how I'll handle listening to cricket when he's gone. Its been playing on my mind all winter!

Was that the biege, the off-white or the ivory ?

 

I heard yesterday that Ritchie has signed on for another 3 years. Obviously in response to the massive outpouring in this thread.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
