[Pates 9,667]

Hopefully Jurrah will get a game this week, even if it's just a half in the VFL ressies to get him moving around on a footy field. Will be interesting to see how long it takes for him to get into the seniors.

[Clanger King 9]

Sylvia ?

[FC Melbourne 108]

Sylvia ?

Was fit last week. Carry over round 1 suspension.

[hardtack 10,849]

Sylvia was good to go last weekend... didn't play because of his deferred suspension.

[Clanger King 9]

Just a quick report from today's training. Sylvia, Taggart, Petterd, Strauss, Viney and Jurrah all took their places with the main group for a 2 hour session this morning.

Training consisted of lap work, short kicking, circuit work, a bit of match-play, some competitive handball and tennis ball work, and finished with goal kicking practice.

Jurrah looked a little tired during the latter session with the tennis ball, but he completed the full session. He didn't seem at all bothered by his bandaged wrist.

There was no sign of Evans, Green, Jetta, Tynan and Gawn. Williams and Lawrence also unavailable due to a bout of gastro. Gotta keep them away from the rest of the squad.

Martin, Gysberts and Frawley were on a restricted program; Clark was on a very restricted program.

If Gysberts has a sore ankle then it's getting much better. He did numerous sprints and agility work and should be available soon.

All in all not a bad session, and their spirit was good. Give 'em time.

Thanks for that Dirty... how was Jurrah's demeanour? Did he appear to be enjoying himself and how was his kicking on goal? Did he look like someone who probably did enough to get a game at Casey on the weekend? (hopefully he matched the KPI's set for him on that score).

[DirtyDees DDC 190]

Thanks for the report. How did Viney go?

He took part in the full session and looks ok. Can kick with eith foot but is mainly a leftie. . He is a fraction taller than Davey and i'm not sure if he will grow much taller, so maybe he will be a shortish nuggety type who shows guts and gets a lot of the ball. If his disposal efficiency is high then he will be a very good player.

He seemed well. He was joking with the boys, and he did some of his party trick shots at goal (that one where he is behind the boundary line and he bends the ball left to right off his right foot. It went through of course). He needs game time so I'd give him half a game in Casey Seniors. He didn't have any problems marking with both hands, but prefered using his good hand when marking one-handed. After all he's gone through, i think he'd just love to play footy again.

Thanks for that Dirty... very encouraging news.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

I know it's been said that he'll need significant time in the VFL before pushing for AFL selection, but does anyone think that due to our early season struggles Jurrah could be back in the team sooner than we think?

[Allen Jakovich 516]

I think a half, then a full game at Casey will probably get him close to selection but with our poor defensive work in our forward 50 he won't play if he's not fit enough.
