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.

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

    I think you need to be unavailable for a minimum of 8-10 weeks to go on the long term injury list. I understand PJ will be available by around round 3-4.

    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.

    From 'ology

    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.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
