Training - Monday 18th November, 2013

Recommended Posts

Blease was with the rehab group, like I said we seem to be ultra cautious this year, don't forget he has had the leg and then his ankle

Cross looks super fit, Vince was bouncing around, he had no problem with me stopping hime for a photo, looked good in the running, yes the footy came out, from what I could see we were practicing short outlet kicking coming out of back half

I was actually going for Gandalf, keeps me warm in winter, and protects from sun in summer

I am not one for gushing about training, it's a bit pointless, suffice to say, there is now genuine competition all over the park, so post Xmas I reckon training will be willing.

Cross is genuinely pleased to get a second go with us, Michie is lovin' it (his words), Bernie Vince (see the smile in the photo).

For all the Hogan lovers though, apart from seeing Mitch Clark in full training, best sight today was Jesse thundering around the repeat 2 and 300's, just saw the photo posted, that's it

Watts is fine, seen him without the shirt, perfect size for his body shape

edit for gush

Have to disappear now, will answer any other questions over next day or two if there is any

Forgot one thing, from Chris Dawes to all the doubters, he will be back before Xmas, ready to go

Interesting comparing the size of Mitch Clark with Jack Watts. Adjacent photos both approximately doing the same thing (running to the left and about to kick). Jack looks so much skinnier. Still needs to add some bulk.

Noticed that too, seems to have lost a lot if it during the break. Vince is also skinnier than I recall.

On the flipside, Grimes looks to be getting back to a good size, Howey is looking ripped, and Trenners is a solid unit but still has that baby fat thing going on.

The pic if Cross and Barry says a lot

the muscle definition on Cross is fantastic while Barry has a model of what he will need

[AFL Photos photo you need permission for]

Here is a hint, hh, if a picture has a watermark on it - you need permission to use it. If it is used on a website or forum such as this, it is the owners and moderators of the site in question that is responsible for the infraction.

Get it?

Trengove in most of the recent photos I've seen of him is noticably bigger in the arms and shoulders.

Looking forward to Toumpas getting a bit of muscle definition going also but appreciate he's only a second year player.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
