The forecast said isolated drizzle, so took the morning off, it rained/drizzled/[censored] down non stop

It was a hard session. compared to others I have watched, considering it is only 4 weeks from our season end

Roos actually raised his voice a couple of times, I could actually hear what he was saying/shouting........there was one instance where it was and end to end drill and surprisingly we went across field and then down the line to a 1 against 3.....Roos immediately stopped it and to paraphrase "what was the point of that, that is not what we want"......another time he pulled the midfield together and 'demanded' they work together

Anyway Pedersen will not play this weekend, was not at training and confirmed by Misso had a op on his schnozzle and will be missing

Tapscott is probably an out as well, left training early and was limping on his right leg

Other interesting bits, when the squad was split in half to do the end to end, Blease and McKenzie joined the 'Casey side', and Gawn, Michie and Barry played with the AFL side, along with Matt Jones who split his time and Cross (who confirmed afterwards he was in, Michie was hopeful).....Watts played in the back 6 and Gawn as a stay at home forward near the goal square

Jesse Hogan did the full session and looks ready to go, asked him this week or next, said "we'll see", asked Misson, he said next week, it is Hogan's decision as to whether he plays or not, I think the way he attacked training it will be yes

Spoke to Chip Frawley, if he has made his mind up, he is a bloody good liar, or I have lost the ability to pick it, we'll see

I can never remember everything, so any questions feel free, just one more, there were about 5 separate kicking drills today

 

Never thought Id say this.... No Pedersen....Bugger !!!

cheers for report

Unbelievable that Pedersen has to miss a few weeks and have Surgery but Merrett gets off free!

Disgusting MRP!!

Seems like Roos has now gone from nurturing "mother", to strict "father." Good. The "boys" have been cuddled, time to turn them into "men."

Also, the fact Pederson can't play but the person who made it that way can, is an absolute farce.


Saty was Jamar training with the seniors? I suppose with Pedersen out Jamar is safe but boy he's lucky.

 

Thanks Satyr

I've been missing your training reports.

You didn't mention Grimes. Can we assume he wasn't there and will still be missing?

Said earlier this week 1-2 more weeks out for him

Yes and No. I think it's inherently wrong that the system calculates penalties with extras for outcomes. I think it would be much better if the heaviest part of the weighting was for intent. A haymaker that doesn't connect just because of a player's lack of ability to connect would theoretically result in no penalty even though there was an intention to significantly hurt.

But given the MRP system as it exists is meant to take into consideration the damage caused, then Merrett shouldn't be playing.

A really good recent example of how the system is flawed is Reece Conca's suspension. Because of the intent with which he hit Smith, he should have received a minimum of four weeks, I would have thought. The damage to the recipient shouldn't make a difference - he intended to hit him (in a cowardly manner) and it's just lucky for Smith that greater damage wasn't done.

Yes Jamar trained, he did a lot of extra ruck work with Greg Stafford, he was getting around the ground on the drills, he is big and old enough to know he isn't doing enough at the moment

I told you I forget, easier to answer questions, Grimes and Jayden Hunt trained on the other oval, both looked ok, probably another week for Grimes as a precaution

Blease, Tappy - well that could be there last AFL games ever - McKenzie is in some real trouble due to his inept disposal. I think he will be kept on the list as back up for Cross next year and then its curtains for him IMO.

Saty, did McDonald train? Was he moving ok?

Apart from nearly being decapitated by a kick from Hogan messing around, yes, he was moving freely, did the whole session

Cheers for the updates and report Saty and Cmon the Toffees

Any specifics on what Hogan was doing?

Any specifics on what Hogan was doing?

He did everything, if that is what you mean, the whole session, so kicking, tackling, ground ball, end to end, he was moving really well, even had Salem firing kicks at head height from about 5 metres away at one point to get his reflexes up, ended up the session by competing with TomMcDonald on catching ridiculous bombs put as high as possible but only standing about 10 metres apart, Tommy Mc misjudged one in the rain, hence the decapitation mentioned above. Roos watched this 'training' and was very amused, probably more by Hogan looking ready to go


 

Would the club (Misson) appreciate you confirming that certain players won't be playing?

While I appreciate it is selection day, there's nothing to say Pedo wouldn't be named with no intention of him playing, just to "attempt" to throw the opposition off a bit.

I realise it's Hawthorn and they wouldn't GAF who we named and who actually played, but don't think it's your best work Saty.

Also, I wonder if those training in the Casey team are going to be dropped, or more to give them a better match up (ie Riley might've tagged Jones, which would be better than tagging Nicholson). Make sense?

Told Nev Jetta that him versus Puopolo would be one thing worth watching, told me he will probably match off with all the forwards, he wouldn't mind a crack at Roughy

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
