Don't know where port got the funds for this helicopter hovering over training for the last 15 minutes but they really could of just come and watched.

Nice to see big maxy gawn back rucking. He's a super important player long term for us

... won't be Port, but it may be linked to the RoEAF...

Where was he aiming to kick it?

Hey, now.

I was at his first ever game at Etihad when, with his first kick he laced out a forward straight out of the middle.

With that kick he tore his quad terribly and was out for months but the point is - it was a good kick.

If he manages to stay relativley free of injury he will be cemented in the 22 by years end.

Thats a big "if"

May I ask how Strauss and Jetta are training, do they look like starting 22?

Thanks for the reports.

For all my reports in this thread to be honest I can't shed too much light on that. Both moved well and kicked well in the full ground drills (2 main ones) and did the rest of the training. But then again so did Terlich. Based on training they wouldn't look out of place but really it's what they've done under pressure in games that will decide it. As I said before Nicholson just ran some laps so he might not be tracking so well. Dunn and Watts looked good.

I think he and Nico are fighting for a similar spot - the run and carry player with poor disposal.

We can only have one

The scientific explanation for this is the torn quadricep altered the trajectory and velocity of the ball.

So you would have neither I take it by that statement........they are both still early in their careers.... game wise...so you think there will be no improvement?

Well I would be very surprised if they developed into players which could play in a finals team. I see Bail as ahead of Nico but than that's just me. I just think a team needs to have structure/role players - you can't have a team of Magners, you need some outside players but not to many or you have no one to win the ball. I can't see where those two fit in, they don't have the skills to be outside players and yet are not inside players.

I think you will find bail actually did his quad in the warm up but because his parents had come down from Bris they put him on for the first bounce!!

How did Evans go? What are everyone's thoughts on his prospects for the year?

When he first started I had high hopes for him. I thought he showed more than Bail and Nichiolson, but he just couldn't get on the park.

I too have high hopes for Evans. He will put pressure on nicho and jetta for a spot in the team.

I'm a fan of Pickles football.

For what it's worth Dawes and T McDonald spent far more time on the track than Clark, Trengove and Blease.

If I were a betting man I'd say Dawes and McDonald will play V port while Blease will be sub at best. Blease looked good and fast on hb/wing in the drills.

Clark and Trengove to play for Casey.

Viney had a light session.

Byrnes knows how to kick a sausage. Realky want him to kick at least 30 this year.

McKenzie and Nicholson only did a bit of kick to kick while J MacDonald only walked a lap.

Gawn participated in most of training and was the first one on the track.

Training overall was quite good, but a lot of missed targets which is why we'll only win 3-5 games.

I'd put that down to Clark and Trengove coming off a game, while Dawes and McDonald need time on the park - especially if they're to prove their fitness.

I take it you had your crystal ball with you to say that we'll ony win 3-5 games real positive outlook after watching training, I watched it about 12 times, I think we could break even this year.....my crystal ball is a bit more optimistic

Young Dee surprised that you are saying that 'we can't have a team of Magners' when on another post you had him in your starting 22 for round 1 (despite the fact that as a rookie he is ineligible to play).

I like your crystal ball much better. I would be surprised if we only won 3-5 games this year.

    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

    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
