Riley JKH Salem and few others ought benefit from a hopefully uninterrupted preseason and come out hitting the ground running (hard) in 2015. Should have lots of new friends as well :rolleyes:

The preseason.

The panacea to all our problems? I hope so....

    Thanks guys for the updates.

    Just a fadeout or not up to it ?

    Defence was under a lot of pressure in last qtr. It would take us 3-4 kicks to get up to the wing, then a turnover and Coburg would run and bomb it long into their goals with the breeze. The fact we kept turning it over says we didn't have the necessary skills and class to work it all the way up to our forward line, despite the number of AFL players on the field. They are just playing to meet mimimum standards rather than to raise the standard.

    At the end I felt a bit like after the GWS game. Just empty. It was a very different type of game , but same outcome.

    Just so sick of following hopeless losing teams.

    We're going to be injury ravaged round one next year, as noted above I think this preseason is going to sort the men from the boys. I wouldn't be planning any boozy holidays if I were in the team.

    Feel like Misson is going to continue doing preseason like he has his whole career, won't be much different to last preseason or the one before really.

    No, just the 'serenity' some seem to enjoy might change !!

    Hard work in order to build up running fitness and also multiple changes to our list. Kinda sounds like the last few seasons. The one thing I do know that I have heard Roos is against doing massive work on the Watt bike and much more simulation running. But will be very similar to last year.

    I think the match play simulation drills will be most vital and effectively enforcing players to do that two way running, especially our key forwards.

    Possibly explains the purchase and use of them

    Craig has been a huge fan of bike training for some time, but I recall one of the first things Sanderson sorted when he took over was to sell those Watt bikes...

    I remember reading that. Pretty sure Roos did much the same this pre season.

    We should sell ours, could well fund a big recruit...

    I think Craig did some work with Australian Cycle team way before he took over as coach as Adelaide? ?

    Hell yeah. Don't lift weights on a footy field either, should be doing bench press with footballs. Really heavy ones.

    They're good as part of a cross training program and injury management but I think Craig seemed to really focus on this kind of thing too much.

    Not a waste of time totally but yep agree they don't ride 'em on the ground so surely you would have to think about getting more miles in the legs in a game type situation which seems to be the Roos approach.

    How else are players with leg or back injuries going to stay fit genius?

    Don't use any of these things on the footy field either:

    -Weights

    -Pools

    -Monitored diets

    -Balance balls

    -Ice baths

    Quick, better stop using all of them....

    Seriously though, you're the worst poster here, by a long way.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
