They were still doing a gruelling running session at Gosch's paddock when I got there. By the end of it a lot of players were struggling. They'd run in pairs around the boundary to various designate

He wasn't limping the last few times I saw him. But that could be because I was watching him sleep. But seriously, I didn't notice a limp the 2 times I've seen him recently.

We are flying RobbieF You know we have not lost a game for eleven weeks. Our form is so good I reckon we could end up with 21 weeks without a loss. Imagine that!

There was more of the circle work type drills that I mentioned at the last session, but the skill level today was noticeably inferior. Plenty of balls were hitting the ground and it just wasn't as crisp, but I put that down to the gruelling running session, which didn't take place at the previous sessions - or nowhere to the same degree.

Thanks for an informative report. The bit I've quoted intrigues me. I know Craig Bellamy is big on the Storm practicing their skills at the end of training when they're buggered as he believes it stands them in good stead, particularly towards the end of games

Not sure that AFL clubs do the same as often they are focussed on injury prevention but I think it's a terrific idea & well worth the risk. It's one thing to be able to pinpoint a pass when you are fresh but to do it with legs full of lactic acid requires a far greater degree of skill & concentration. I would think that the more you practice skill execution under that sort of duress, the better off you'd be in the course of a game. Just another of those 1 percent differences that can win you a game.

Or in the case of the Dees keep you in it till at least the last quarter!

Should have a caption competition for the Nathan Jones next to the van photo:

1. "I think it's only an offence if you urinate against the back wheel"

2. "Gee I look good in this mirror"

3. "Just because we've now got a bloke from Collingwood doesn't mean he's the only one allowed to break into vehicles"

Thanks for all who contribute.

It's great to see muscle definition. really noticeable for someone like me who doesn't see the guys live anymore.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
