Training - Thursday 8th May, 2014



Recommended Posts

@ Ascobar, Ethiopia? What are you doing over there?

@ Saty On topic - What is happening with rucks? In training who dominates out of Spencer/Jamar, Gawn (If he can compete) are we heading to a rotation system like baseball pitchers or will we stick to the best man each week? Or perhaps I could rephrase is Jamar really back long term, would be wonderful.

Thanks

Going to take the morning off again, here is something for you all, especially for the country and interstate posters, as you know I can talk to the players, if there is a question you would like answered, and I can get to the particular player, put it here, if rubbish appears I won't bother, I'll print them off in the morning

Novel idea, saty.

Gawn: any chance he'll be elevated purely to play forward?

Tapscott: what have the coaches told him he has to do to get a game? Just interested to know what he is working on.

Watts: what the hell happened with his back? How is it now?

Tom McDonald: any chance we'll see him up forward when Garland returns?

Strauss: are they trying to turn him into a forward? Or just round out his game?

Salem: sub again this week? Or will Roos let him have a full game?

Dunn: when is he bringing back the mo?

I would be interested to know from Tyson how Roos compares to Sheedy, given the stature of both as coaches. And I live in Ethiopia, so does that mean my questions get the highest priority ;)

Are you the Ascobar from Addis Ababa?

Il be the first to put my hand up and say I have been critical in Saty in alot ways but very respectful for the mountain of work he does going to training and providing valued inside info. Especially for someone like me that lives 3 hours into the country.

A job well done Saty. This place would be alot more dull without you.

Said before don't take anything personal unless it is a personal insult, pet hates - sweeping statements without factual backup, and unjustified bagging of indiviual players just for the sake of it

across all the online footy forums salty is the best poster

Saty - if you speak to Bernie Vince, can you please ask him for his sister's phone number? Either sister will be fine.

Here's a fact - they are both smoking hot.

Cheers.

I agree BB.

I dont think the Tribunal came up with the guilty judgement. It may have come down from the new CEO.

if it was a pre determined decision, it was obviously made because they thought it was the direction the public wanted the game to go, clearly they were wrong when 92% of people voted they thought he should get off, and the other 8% was Damien barrett with fake names.

Would love to know if any of the admin there have seen Dr Peter Larkan's latest tweet, that if Viney had indeed "pivoted" on his left foot at that speed, he'd likely have torn an ACL. PLEASE ask Mahoney if they're getting in a qualified medical professional to vouch for the stupidity of the AFL's argument.

Sat if you see Josh Mahoney can you ask him how much consideration they gave to the likelihood of an increased sentence for Jack in deciding to appeal.

He won't get off.

He may not.

Maintaining your subversive seed planting.

Good win wasn't it?

Unfortunately I don't believe it's what they think the public want.

I think it's all about limiting the potential for future lawsuits from players related to acquired brain injury.

I know the obvious answer is for players to sign some sort of waiver, but I think legally there would still remain a duty of care and it wouldn't work.

Better move quick - Aiden Riley has already snatched one up.

    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

    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
