Training - Wednesday, 16th April, 2014



Recommended Posts

Tyson - was actually shocked to see Carazzo come to him on Saturday, was told by coaches to just keep playing the way he has been told to, was pleased with his defenisve efforts

Pretty good compliment for a kid lining up in his 17th AFL game.

I told him that, still think he needs convincing on how good he is

On that note, at the end of the training, Vince, Tyson and Nate Jones had a goal kicking comp for lunch

This is in the left pocket next to the fence so about 30 metres and a 15 degree angle, Tyson put all three of his shots through for a goal post high with his left foot...much to the other two's disgust, Jones got 2 out of 3 and Vince missed all three

I reckon a fit Nev Jetta running through the mid field would be like having another Jack Viney.

Seems like a great bloke. Hope he gets a go soon.

Not surprising though, the guy is an absolute ball magnet. The first of many tags, I'd expect. Still can't believe he landed on our laps.

You haven't heard about Josh Kelly?

Future brownlow medallist, that kid.

Ask around, there's plenty of people who haven't even seen him play yet, but they still know that much...

Oh well...that's the way it goes. Tyson looks a future Brownlow chance to me.

I know. The concept that a high profile trade could be a win for both parties is one lost on the halfwits that comment on our game.

Looks like it could be at this early stage.

"Nev Jetta said he hasn't had anything about being elevated"

He's the obvious candidate. As far as selection goes, he and Clisby must be neck and neck.

sounds like he's banging the door down on the seniors. Good reports on his casey performances.

What is the "Watts" goal kicking approach? Walking in slowly or something?

They both explained it to me, part of it is the 'relaxing', Roh Bail was worried about it the second he picked up the ball to go back and prepare, basically Watts has told him to just do the routine like Watts does, he counts the steps backwards, relaxes his shoulders and drops his arms and takes a long slow breath, sights the goal, starts slowly and then tries to just make it one smooth flowing action coming in.......the main point is not to worry about anything just concentrate on following the simple routine...seemed to work for both of them on Saturday, if you watch you will see the similarity.......watch Dunn if you want to see something completely different

Yeah that's how I got good at golf after being a hacker most of my life...

Your routine controls your thoughts so anxiety can't.

I hope Nev gets elevated , he is hard and with full fitness will be valuable . More of a footballer and around the same size as Swan Ablett senior and junior . Allthough god would give him trouble

I thought I noticed him & Jack saying something to each other after he nailed that goal.

Great initiative by Roh Bail to seek out the best set shot in the club & ask him how he goes about it.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
