Training Today


satyricon

Recommended Posts

Went today, along with about 50 journalists

The whole list trained apart from Nev Jetta who I didn't see

Rehab - Gawn Taggert and Cook who all left early before main session started

Rehab - Sylvia (about three weeks away), Jurrah, and Martin (assured me he was ok)

Lots of match simulation

Any questions will try and answer

was there a big hooha when they broke of into backs, mids and forwards group? Was there rumblings that they should be trained individually rather than in discriminatory groups ?

Petterd asked him and he said he was ok to go...seemed confident he would get a gig Tapscott said he needs full game at Casey Dunn, did everything like he wants a game in Perth, including a 70 metre kick for goal which flew through about half way up McDonald same as Dunn minus the bomb Magner did the whole session - what injury? that may be All the players were really up, looking at redemption, the session had bits of everything, but they all worked hard

Spoke to Strauss, the leg gets a bit sore after games, but getting better and better, really [censored] off he was knocked out at Casey, just wants to play a game all the way through, pleased that he is way ahead of where everybody thought he would be.

Spencer is up and running, Leigh Williams will prob make an appearance for Casey this week and looking fwd to it

Will answer any other questions tomorrow...other things to do now

Leave your questions, will answer them tomorrow if I can, tried to lift the mood a bit, we need to..

Best bits today...shook Magner's hand and congratulated him on debut, asked for same again and he said "too right"

The more familiar faces being stopped and asked for photo or autograph, Josh Tynan walking away without even being recognised, had a laugh with him, and told him that will happen if he keeps playing the way he does

Green gave me a hearty hello and worked hard through the session, most of them did (Moloney, Jamar), Davey was bombarded with journalists when he tried to leave the track, Mitch Clark played bodyguard

Now Davey does not like a tag.....

If the matter dies away so will the fleas...

Thanks heaps mate, really appreciate that. Magner had a bit of a wobbly ankle last Saturday, didn't look bad but with our luck I was wondering how we went today.

Dunn, did everything like he wants a game in Perth, including a 70 metre kick for goal which flew through about half way up

Dunn on a wing might be a good move? At least if they persist with long bombs to the forwards, he may be able to clear the lot and score.

was Thomas there? (tongue in cheek)

Thomas doesn't need to be there - he knows it all without trying. (tongue further in cheek)

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
