Training - Wednesday 4th March, 2015 @ Fremantle Oval

Featured Replies

Billy Stretch doesn't think he'll get on the park and will remain the emergency.

Did you get any insight on who will be the other emergency?

I think it will vandenBerg he hasn't had a full pre season like the rest have had.

I think McKenzie will play and Spencer will be a sub and replace Jamar near the end of the game.

Your thoughts?

I did not see Spencer today. I don't reckon he travelled.

 

Where did I mention Hogan?

TDI spoke to Hogan and Hogan said you mentioned him.

I will bet my left nut that Frost plays forward tomorrow. Spending a lot of time on set shots.

is that a HH type of bet?

Can you please leave me out of this

A Harry Hoo bet??

 

I was wondering about the preference for gambling the left nut, when I realised that the right is nearer to hand.

Quick note re Frosty. A Wesley old collegian who played as a key forwarding the juniors. Played front and back at GWS he is a genuine swing man and very athletic. No surprise to see him play up forward initially. Don't know of any quotes where Roos said he was recruited as a backman. If replacing Frawley, remember Frawley played up forward last season.


Good job on the training reports you two.

Training reports are like crack to me.

Better keep them away from Karmichael then. Too soon?

Thanks for the reports peopels. Not long now.

I agree, but i don't think Frost will be playing forward unless there are injuries.

Dawes, Hogan, Pederson, Gawn, Watts, Fitzpatrick all ahead of him as far as tall forwards

Watts isn't a tall forward, Fitzpatrick isn't ahead of him given he rarely strings two consistent sessions together and Dawes is suspended round 1, hence why I think he's in contention.

he is 196 cm, and has kicked bags of 3-4 playing as a key forward, i'd say he very much qualifies, I rate Fitzy, but it is a big year for him.

I think Pederson, Gawn, Hogan, Watts is plenty of tall targets for round 1, even without Dawes


Me and a mate are stuck in night class at uni...anyone know if its being streamed on AFL.com.au? Or a live stream somewhere?

the only place you could stream it would be through the foxtel go app. Which is what I'll be doing at work until I finish at 5:30. :ph34r:

3 and 4 aren't bags. He doesn't use that height and has taken about 1 strong mark a season for his career. Fitzy has some moves, but hasn't done enough to get in this squad.

Hogan, Pedersen and Gawn is probably the plan for round 1. But if one of those get injured Frost could be next in line.

There's also the possibility that he plays key back along with Dunn and McDonald, but after a tall forward/ruck from the other side gets subbed out (and after we sub out a ruck or key forward of our own) that Frost gets swung forward. The sub rule has created an opportunity for swing men.

It's been streamed through the AFL LIVE app which has a free NAB challenge trial.

It's also March. Skip the class and go to the pub.


Or send Howe forward for the first match with Frost in the backline?

Again, an option, but I've got him about 30% for round 1.

In place of Hogan?, why I thought most wanted him in rd 1 team as gorilla minder, this is just a shake down run after the four hour flight, I doubt whether they will be doing anything except loosen up, set shots are the perfect thing

So no one told you Frost was playing forward? Trouble in paradise...

Vindicated.

Lefty will be relieved.

Yeah, well... I guess we're not all 'know-it-all-guru's' after all.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
