Training - Thursday 28 May, 2015

The team we love
in Melbourne Demons

Saty, in the Dogs game I thought there were a number of occasions where a forward got a mark on the very edge of their range or capability, and very deliberately went back to take the shot, instead of trying to give it short to a lead, or hand off to a better kick.

The examples were Jeffy's goal, Toump's second goal, Howe's two shots from the boundary (especially the second which was further out), Hogan's shot that just missed from just beyond 50m, and of course Ro Bail's miss. Maybe Pedo's first goal too, I'm not so sure about that one. They all seemed to ignore a risky short pass or two, took a deep breath, went back & had the shot.

I wondered whether this is just what happened on the day, or whether it's a team instruction that if you get a mark inside 50, it's your responsibility to get the goal.

Garlett also passed one from the boundary line to JHogan

    How did Toumpas train?

    Because it's you asking, I have chased it up for you and Picket Fences. Apparently Roosy and Goody had good long meeting about toump and they are considering dropping him from training. Need him to get more game time so he improves during the week. Reckon he needs to be saved for Monday to Friday duties.........

    What a dumb [censored] question.

    Training was on again, same drills as per the last few weeks, ball movement, ball movement, ball movement, with designated kickers and more and less defenders

    Tyson and Jamar only ran laps

    Whole squad very upbeat, the skills today were very good, with the normal one or two errant kicks and handballs

    Viney looks ready to tear somebody apart

    Jeff Garlett arranged a performance by Indigenous dancers at the end of the session, lot of footy dept and admin staff attended

    The boots that Jeff is going to wear on Saturday are cool, put a pic on Twitter later

    Complimented Fitzy on his game, said he is really enjoying the role down back, same with Aaron vandenBerg, really enjoyed the role he was given

    Any questions as per the norm

    Pics on Twitter Demonpk later

    Was that role to: search, kill, destroy everything and anything that lays in the path of him getting the football? If so, then MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, Aaron.

    Toump trained really well, confidence is growing

    That's what was liked about him when they were watching before we got him, only rookie though, always the chance he couldn't lift to AFL level, which has now been put to bed in a big way

    As for the set shots on goal, I think that is a rule now, unless there is somebody completely open

    What was that?

    Something slightly rude

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
