Are you sure the witches hats weren't the players? It wouldn't be the first time they've been mistaken..

I went this mornning

Jordie McKenzie trained before the main group for about 45 minutes and then left, didn't seem restricted, ran, kicked, jumped etc

Main group arrived at 10:30 and went till about 12:40

Most of the drills have been seen before, all about match simulation, running, leading, kicking etc, Roos had them in to talk at tleast half a dozen times, great to see

Towards the end the rucks Jamar, Fitzy, Gawn, King and Spencer did some separate work with Greg Stafford for about 15 minutes, after George Stone had had the midfield group; demonstrating where to stand etc with the aid of witches' hats etc, it was good to watch him teaching

Previous to that Spencer's session had conisted of sitting on the fence talking to a trainer and lying on the ground for 15 mintures, gods knows what a St Kilda spy if they were watching would have made of that

Dawes and Hogan were no shows, everybody else seemed to be in attendance

To show that players, who are supposedly shielded from the media/forum comments etc, actually know what is thought of them, Jack Trengove was in brigh fluro orange boots, I said they looked frightening, his answer "I have to look as if I am fast"

Had a good chat to Jack Viney, suggested he wear a helmet, said this concussion was not his fault, had his arms pinned and hit his head on the ground, had to have a light week, no contact, because it was his second concussion of the pre season, tests he had to take were even more stringent, says he is about 2 weeks behind most of the squad in fitness and preparation, asked about the thought of him playing with Aiden Riley in the middle for Casey as he catches up, you can guess the answer. Another who loves Roos, respects that because he is young, Roos wants him to fight to earn his place in the team

Spoke to Christian Salem, about Manchester United, Olympiakos, Arsenal and Everton...refreshing.....then watched him kick...it is a thing of beauty

Asked Dom Tyson to get 30 touches on Saturday, Fitzy had said 35, said he was glad to know he was under no pressure to perform

From what I can see/guess/surmise the 25 will be in no particular order Frawley, McDonald, Grimes, Georgiou, Terlich, Dunn, Nicholson, Tyson, Vince, Cross, Nathan Jones, Matt Jones, Howe, Fitzpatrick, Pedersen, Watts, Toumpas, Trengove, Byrnes, Michie, Bail, JKH, Blease, Evans, McKenzie/Kent

Any questions feel free to ask.

In terms of the drills, who stood out?

How do Salem and Toumpas compare and contrast in size and skill?

They actually don't compare, Toumpas gut runs, Salem uses his kicking, I am surprised at how quickly Salem is developing physically

On physical things one of the most impressive things was Jayden Hunt gut running flat out for about 100 metres with Tommy Mc trying to keep up, he ended up about a metre and half behind

Just clarifying, what exactly are you saying about Salem's running?

There is nothing wrong with Salem's running

Just main difference I can see personal opinion, Salem reads the play, knows where to go and then uses his kicking

Toumpas works and works making position

Two completely different type of players....In the future Pendlebury (Salem) Swan (Toumpas)

If that makes sense

What's Toumpas like in terms of tackling and physical drills?

Hey Saty, good to meet you last Friday. I'm back in Sydney.

Does this mean Jamar did full training or if not what did he do. Does he look like he's going to be ready to pay any time soon.

Jamar was looking fine, seems to be still on a program, at one point left main field to run a lap or two around another, he was very pleased with his GPS figures after speaking to the guy monitoring, so barring anything unforseen, I would say another week or two

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
