Training Today 16/2

Hi All,

Went out and had a look at training this afternoon at Casey. All told including the warm up went 1 hour. I believe this morning was a much bigger session

Summary

Rehab Group - Bruce (looked quite proppy), Blease, Gawn, Bate, Dunn - Rehab group did a lot of running

Stationary skills group - Tapscott - just very basic tennis ball skills - overheard it maybe a hip keeping from training, hasn't trained for approx 2 - 3 weeks

5 min cameo stationary skills group - Watts

I have seen half a dozen pre season training sessions each year for the last 2 or 3 and the best thing about the rehab group at the moment is that all are on the way back and don't look too far away. Generally we still have people in moonboots or crutches this time of year.

As I said very short session with mainly handball drills and then a match simulation exercise (whites vs blues) which was geared around the white team moving the ball from defence to the forward line in waves.

I don"t have any fact but you could sense that maybe the guys in white were the team for the weekend. I will do my best to remember who was in it.

Whites - Jones, Green, Mc Donald, Miller, Bennell, Jetta, Morton, Jurrah, Davey, Frawley, Warnock, Rivers, Maric, Strauss, Spencer, Jamar, Moloney, MacDonald, Grimes, Sylvia

Highlights of the session - 1. - Even though he was in the rehab group Blease looked like he is really coming along. That was about the 6th session I have seen and he did more then ever before. His sprinting looked really good and he did do some kicking drills as well which I hadn't seen before.

BUT THE NUMBER ONE HIGHLIGHT WAS GARLAND DOING THE WHOLE SESSION WITH THE MAIN GROUP. WOO - HOO

Short and sharp session but if you have any questions fire away and I will do my best to answer them

    It was mainly Miller and Jurrah.

    Morton pushed forward on a few occasions and was found as well.

    On reflection I don't think either Meesen or Johnson were there at all. they certainly didn't come outside anyway.

    Thanks mate, They must have pulled up ok from the weekend. I cant see how they could leave out Trengove for the weekend.

    Were they in blue or white?

    Scully and Trengove were white can't recall Gysberts sorry

    That's it! Garland into my supercoach team!

    who's this Garland bloke?

    apparantly he is this guy we drafted that can play either end of the ground in key positions, in defence on bigs or smalls, and up forward can take a nice mark and an ok shot at goal.

    i hope this helps :)

    Great report demonwithin. Thanks.

    Did Davey appear unhampered ? Did he train freely ? (ie. no concerns from the weekend).

    I like your view on the rehab group and quite pleased with Blease's report.

    I reckon he is an interesting one HT. He was wearing the bike shorts which he has done since a scare a couple of weeks ago. He only played a half on Saturday

    My gut feel is he has a little niggle and that has reduced his intensity at training. I have no doubt he was flying before Xmas.

    I personally wouldn't play him Sunday.

    Good to read that he trained though. A trip to Perth.....maybe a niggle...maybe tightness...I'd agree with you, wouldn't risk him if it is indeed a niggle. Thanks again.

    Brilliant news about Garland. He is in my top 5 most important players at the club.

    Cheers for the report!

    I read somewhere, (think it was 'ology a few days ago) that Tapscott had a crack in his hip bone or cartilage..

    Havent heard anything since tho.. only about his family situation.

    Has anyone thats been to training recently seen him run? Do normal sprints and endurance etc..

    Or has it just been tennis-ball stuff the whole time?

    Could we put P Johnson on the LTI and elevate Jordie McKenzie for round 1?

    Martin blue or white? How did Aussie go?

    Thanks for the report.

    Martin was in the blue ( i was surprised and it may kill off my theory that the whites were the team for Sunday !)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
