Training Today 16/2

Recommended Posts

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?

Last time i saw him running and training would have been mid Jan I think.

The three sessions I have been to since has been the stationery drills with tennis balls.

Slight change of topic, but what the hell is going on with Daniel Bell?

Every training report I read, Bell has been sub-par. I'm also under the impression that he was a non-entity in the intra-club game last weekend.

Seeing as Bell comes out of contract at the end of the year, you'd think he'd be a star performer on the track and banging down the door for a game this weekend.

Strange.

His running out of time, his not injured as far as i know i saw him play in the intra club and he went virtually unsighted. He showed some promise around 06 (from memory) but has been a fringe player ever since, with all our young recruits training hard and pushing for selection its really hard too see him playing anything more than VFL.

The earlier drills were done at a good level of intensity with the usual suspects standing out for both good and bad. Here is quick run down on some of the individuals:

Bartram: Missed some easy targets in the earlier stuff and was very quick to head to his car which was interesting, until I found out it was his birthday and he was going out.

Watts: Stationary work after a heavy gym session. His reflexes and quick hands were incredible with his mates making his life difficult. No one in that group could work as quickly and accurately. 1 more week....

Bate: Run 200m sprints and worked with the rehab boys. 1-2 weeks

Miller: Missed lots of targets but his workrate and voice cannot be underestimated for such a young team.

Trengove: Looked good. He and Scully left the simulation early to warm down.

Dunn: Apparently pulled up pretty sore. Precautionary.

Petterd: A favourite of mine but he is a butcher by foot. Really disappointed with his field kicking.

Garland: Did everything and to be honest, looked better than expected in the simulation where he played down back.

Bell: Yikes.

Jurrah: Played FF. Kicked a nice goal from a long way out.

Newton: Trained hard but made mistakes. Looks bigger but I am unsure what to expect.

Bruce: Short session for him. Couldn't find out how much longer he will be out. Not moving well.

Wonaeamirri: Like Garlo, did everything. His kicking is a delight to watch. Pretty vocal too which is surprising.

Davey: 60-40 to play this week. Did everything at half pace.

Gawn: I cannot believe how coordinated this kid is. His stationary work was incredible. Seems to be running pretty well too.

Blease: Running well and judging from his attitude and movement is close to coming back. Kicking short kicks on the sidelines with coaches is a step up I believe.

Tapscott: This kid looks a little sad. Walking laps and stationary work.

Some funny updates.... Belly, Gawn and Tappy. Gawn looks coordinated whilst standing still hahahha

I agree totally about Belly, He should be in the top performers at this time of year. He needs his biggest season yet, I was at the game on Saturday and I saw nothing from him that made him stand out, With Cheney, MacDonald, Strauss all trying to get a spot in the back six it is his time to stand up and be counted.

At the intra-club practice match I only noticed Bell was playing because I looked for him.

He may as well have been wearing camouflage.

Not a good game for a player going into a career season.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
