Training - Wednesday, 4th July, 2012

Briefly;

  • Didn't see Colin Sylvia - only 'unexpected' absentee I noticed;
  • Jamar mainly running laps;
  • Jetta & Davey with main group, looking good;
  • Jones & Jurrah (??) with rehab group mainly doing sprints;
  • Rivers & Sellars not with main group either.  I think they went inside early after practising ball-handling on the boundary;
  • Magner & Couch separated from main group after half the session and were just hand-balling to each other on the boundary;

Bit of goal kicking practice at the end - not very impressive from a lot of the players.

Nicholson's attitude is always impressive in that there is something irrepressible that he brings to the team in training and on the field.  Jones is another who normally doesn't seem to have lost his enjoyment  just being there.  Watts has begun to look more serious and focussed but I suspect it might be because he cops  so much if he looks as if he's having a good time!  He was having a very serious chat with Neeld at the end of training. Good to see as I think they are the two most significant people for the MFC future.

 

I like the Neeld/Watts.

Was Brad Green training with the main group by any chance?

Not the only talent-oozing pick 3 to miss a training session this morning :P

Will be interesting to see if Sellar comes up. Rivers and Garland might both return to defense if he doesn't.

I believe he went for a sleep-over at a mate's place ;-)

Green was with the main group and trained with enthusiasm as always. While Watts was listening intently to Neeld, Bates was having a similar type of conversation with Neil Craig. Also, I wonder if Rivers is in doubt given that his was seemingly only a light training session this morning. Dave Misson was also doing some one-on-one training/assessment with Cook & Williams (I think that's who they were).

A little shiver went up my spine as well! Surely not!!

but hed probably get a cab nowadays lol
 

After being a regular at training, the fact that a few don't seem to do much is not an indication, at this stage of the season it is into managing, I have never managed to see the full squad train since the beginning of the preseason

Any scouts watching will have no idea either

Apparently this has been a common occurence for a number of weeks with Cook especially, probably to improve his pace and initial sprint off the mark

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

    Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
