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

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
