Missing were Petracca, Trengove, Frost, Kent, no shows JKH

Viney ran laps, Dawes did as well before joining in the session

Bit of running and agility work to warm up first

Lot of ground ball work

Then a bit of full length field ball movement, sides mixed

Nev Jetta not available this week

Jayden Hunt pulled up really well from his first hit out

Few in the hands of the physios during the session, vandenBerg, Newton, Dawes, Hogan (not unusual)

Jetta not available again? He must have really been knocked about. Was hoping that he might have been back this week.

Had a good chat to him, being directed by the medicos, is a dad with two young kids and if you have read anything about him, they come first, so doesn't want his health impacted, you may see him appear in a helmet, the last belt was the worst, if you look at the Howie mark, Nev wore Howie's knee right between the eyes

It's about the only impact Howe has had this year. And it took out a really important player for us. Cheers Jeremy!

Another weak for Jetta.

Struggles with hits, always takes him ages to get up, helmet might help him.

Not good news for us.


Hopefully if Nev dons the helmet, it helps a bit. The science says it usually doesn't, but it's got to be better than nothing. You know the "player might go in harder" argument against helmet won't apply to him, he already goes in hard.

Not that it's at this point yet, but it would be totally balls if he ends up needing to pull the pin early due to excess concussions after all the work he's done to get up to scratch. Life's just not fair sometimes.

From what he said they may trial it, Roh Bail went through exactly the same thing, so the medicos have a base of knowledge to work from, he is not letting it get to him, there was another supporter I know who was at training today and she was getting the yearbook signed, Nev made a good play on how the concussion is affecting him whilst signing it, going as far as to deny he was in it, as he didn't remember getting the photo taken

Jamar???

How come they didn't trial the helmet with Bail, then?

He had the six weeks off, don't know whose suggestion it is, might be Nev himself, as I said might

Jamar???

The whole ruck division was present and correct, including Fitzpatrick and Pedersen working with Greg Stafford, but not Dawes


No JKH. Any reason?

I wore a helmet playing Rugby for my entire life and I can tell you that they do absolutely zilch for concussions. Stopped the cuts, but I was still groggy as a drunken sailor on many occasions.

I didn't bother asking, you never get the truth during the season, tried an experiment just before the first round, asked three different people and got three different answers

was it a "helmet" or a padded cap?

don't know if this is so, but our main aim should be to build the list & make the right choices at this stage of our team development... so If Jetta has to miss another just to be safe, I'm OK with another player getting a chance to show if he's up to it, or not.

we have to shed some more players at years end & we are now into the meat of the season, where most players are up to speed now, so its the time IMO, to see who's able to cut 'the Keens Mustard' thus far, & who can't do it beyond here.

Cut 'em out, ride 'em in,

Well, it was a a padded helmet, didn't have a hard shell or anything. It wouldn't be much different to what he'd be expected to wear I wouldn't think, it he does wear one.

yes, these have been used before in the vfl/afl

certainly good for the cuts and self confidence

Some interesting safety ideas around here...

On the bright side, Jetta has a nicely shaped head for a helmet. :cool:

Is that like saying someone has a good head for radio?

Daniel Bell says hi too - or thinks he may have

Dunstall wore one for a few years after Earl Spalding fractured his skull accidentally. It didnt work for Jason either he has been speaking jibberish since he retired.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
