Training - Wednesday 11th February, 2015 at Casey Fields

Forget Watts! He hasn't done enough work.

Pig, he doesn't need skill work, but he has done miles and miles in laps, think they are just getting him right for one the NAB cup games ... or at least that is what he told me...maybe wishful thinking
 

They are working on it Clint, now his shoulders are fully functional he is doing a bit more weights, he knows he needs to be stronger, they just don't want him bigger, so as I have mentioned before it is an individual progam for him

TDI and other track watchers I would be interested in your views. For me, Fitzy has always had the physical attributes but has lacked footy smarts. He is not a natural. Despite his size and pace, I have never seen Fitzy impose himself on a game and his hand-eye coordination seems poor (missed marks and fumbles) and his kicking is not great. Given his history and his battle with diabetes I would love to see him make it, but I have doubts. From what you have seen pre-season do you see it any differently? How much longer do you give him?

 

I want him to be stronger.

i want him to be handsomer but that's just me


I want him to get full face tatts.

And to dress as an emu before every game.

I was at the eagles game and he had a couple of cracking goals. Still don't know how he actually did it, but most of the game he was pretty good.

 

Websites saying Goschs is going ahead tomorrow, hope thats still accurate because I plan to drop by while in the area. Would also save me disappointment if anyone can confirm its back at Goschs and not out in Casey again

I have covered the Fitzy size issue previously, he is now 99kg it is just spread out over 200cm, they don't want him any bigger

I want him to be stronger.

I'd like him to be taller

I want him to have one-grab hands. I think that would solve most of his issues.


Fitz looked like ripping apart a Darwin game against the lion in 2013.

Got a knock to the head after 4 goals and faded out IIRC...

Too right. His shonky kicking is less than ideal as well. And yeah it would be nice if he had more strength in the contest or was taller with a bigger leap, but really his pace is an absolute weapon and he seems to lead better than we probably give him credit. If he could hold more marks he'd probably make it or at least be better than average depth. With Dawes suspended in round 1 it should be a fair battle in the nab challenge for the 2nd key forward as well as back up ruck spots. Let the best man win.

I was there too. Those goals were rippers, something a big man shouldn't be able to do. There is something about him that is worth persisting.

i want him to be wittier

My colleague Dr Dank has a little time on his hands currently and may by able to help.

Not sure about the wit part, though. Steve hasn't mentioned any PEDs for that.

For those who have been at training, can Kent make the jump this year and become one of our more damaging players. I've been watching 2014 on fox over the last few weeks and he just stands out. Excellent kick, strong body, pace, can kick a goal, and aggressive. One of my favourite players and really hope he can go on with it this year and grab a top 5 b n f


Is training at gosch tomorrow morning? Anyone know ? Thanks in advance ...

Sorry if this is too late, but they are just warming up here at Gosch's

EXactly what i thought when watching 2014 replays

Agreed. I'm a Fitzy fan and think there are a lot of positives for a guy of 200cm, but equally some glaring deficiencies. If he can improve even a little on a couple of those there might be a regular spot in 2015. He is still very young for a big man, 24 I think. Would benefit from 6-8 consecutive games.

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
