Training - Friday 1st May, 2015

Featured Replies

Posted

Most of the squad trained, including Viney who did a bit of rehab running and drills with Nev Jetta, Sam Frost appeared on the Trengove trolley, only missing Petracca, Trengove, Kent

Nev Jetta is totally [censored] off he can't get a crack at Ballantyne

The drills were as per the norm now, lots of ball movement, with more or less defenders, then a few stoppage drills where tackling was encouraged

At the end Watts did a bit more tackling practice

When rucks trained separately with Stafford, it was only the recognized rucks, Jamar, Spencer, Gawn, Fitzpatrick and King

Towards the end squad was split into groups, McKenzie was with the backs, as was Hunt, the rest as it says on the tin

Tyson trained strongly, Dawes had a bit of running repairs done with physios, but finished strongly also

McCartney didn't seem to be there today

I asked Ben Mathews how many players would we put on Fyfe, answer 18

For those who like the look of him, ANB has pulled up really well from his first two runs, looking forward to Sunday

Any questions, feel free, pics on Twitter Demonpk soon

Thank god Tyson is OK.

I guess if Jetta feels right, he will only miss the one?

Just tell him he'll be fresher for taking him on in the finals!

Nev told Jade Rawlings he was right to go this weekend on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday, club is being ultra cautious, exactly the same as they did with Roh Bail, Nev just has to wear it, but understands

what if we lose by 1 point and ballantyne is bog and we go on to miss the finals by one game?


Sucks that Nev can't play. He's one of the reasons I love watching the new-look Dees.

The best parts are when his opponents get frustrated and start doing stupid [censored]. You just KNOW he'd do it to Ballantyne.

Then Nev won't get brain damage by the time he's 30.

I find this strange. Maybe they will give Dawes and Pedersen some training privately.

Or we are actually planning to play Spencer and Jamar in the same side (yikes).

I tried my best with quite a few to see which way we were going to go, and got a straight bat from everybody, loved it, no idea

What if Spencer does play, he has the tank to run around all day with Sandilands, he just has to compete, which he is capable of, even Sandilands would get a bit tired with over 100k bashing into him the whole game

Same with McKenzie, if he gets a role, would give it everything he had


Thanks TDI

Would be interested in your gut feel on who your pick is to join Grimes in this weeks team based on todays training ?

Or have you been sworn to secrecy ?

Talk of finals outside of pre-season? Can we do that on here?

As I put above, tried to glean who it was, got straight bat from both Spencer and Pedo, nothing for Pig and missed Jordie, asked a couple of others, nada, wouldn't expect anything less

Personally whatever way the FD go they will be doing it for a reason, I am not bothered, I know from the last couple of weeks, the 22 we send out will go out determined to play the same brand of aggressive footy coz it works, and even though everybody tends to denigrate the 4, at least all 4 are pretty agressivve in their game

Who talks about finals during the pre-season?

Pre-season is reserved for talk about the following year's draft.

I'll take that at this time of our journey..

I'd be [censored] off if it happened in the GF.

They have Clarke.

The issue isn't Spencer in the ruck. I'd love to see 2 rucks. They can then both play a really physical game and run and spread giving us a marking option around the ground.

The issue is that one or both of Jamar or Spencer would have to play multiple minutes forward and neither of them offer much attacking or defending up forward.

Oh I thought that officially started half way through our round 1 match

They have really been working with them over the pre season on the very thing, Jamar hasn't been that bad when resting forward and Spencer has been getting better at it for Casey, even had 2 goal assists on Sunday, one from a strong mark in the 50

Yes will be interesting to see who comes in given the oppositions ruck. I think Spencer Jamar combo is a double liability. I have my doubts over Spencer although Pedo proved himself last year so maybe Spencer can do the same. I think Pedo is less of a liability as he can play a genuine forward role and just relieve Jamar a few times however not sure if he can 2nd ruck against Freo. Could Spencer maybe be sub and come on at half time. Dawes and can relieve Jamar a couple times and that means we don't have two Ruckman on the ground the whole game.


I think Spencer Jamar combo is something Id like to see us live with this year.

If we can win in the middle and provide another, admittedly mediocre, tall option forward, its a team that would be tough to play against for many teams.

We cant keep hoping the Russian can do it on his own.

Spencer is as ready as he is going to get. Exciting.

Only thing I am really [censored] off about, will be at the G on Sunday, so miss the chance to see Stretch, Toumpas, ANB and Harmes working together for the first time

Too risky if you get an injury.

My guess is because it's Sandilands and Clarke they'll go with Spencer. If it rains they might go for Riley. Brute contested ball winner in the wet.

 

Tdi, do you know if Trengove is back running?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
