Petracca running, jumping and playing kick to kick is football porn

    While it's a training report, I just read that Toumpas struggled in to 6th place in the Port time trial.

    Was one of our better runners, yet he struggled in the 1st to 4th year players group at a different club.

    Does this mean we still have a long way to go? If so, I'm off to the confessional thread.

    I for one wouldn't give a Continental if he finished 6th 16th or 160th!!! he is now not at our club! Let Port worry about his dodgy hips, slow pace and questionable endeavour!

    NEXT!

    Bottom line is that everyone is there and training. That's a great, positive start to pre-season. Let's hope it stays that way.

    Hogan, who never looked all that keen on training, has gone over to kick to kick with Track.

    And Brayshaw who's come from who knows where has walked over as well.

    So buggered if I know what's happening on the main oval.

    Gus has given a high 5 and is taking his backpack back to Aami. Need Saty to grab him

    Any sign of Trengove? I know he isn't 1-4 year but you would think he would be keen as punch right now

    Gee, talk about burying the lead! Is Saty there? That's the biggest news to come out of training this pre-season so far!

    Jhk, Oscar, King and whites kicking stood out in a group that included Terlich, Frost , T mc, and Hunt

    Bugg is an ok kick but he's a bit clunky for a left footer

  • Quote

    Running was solid. But Frost, Kennedy and King have work to do

    It is important that our footballers be fit, but looking at who in the past has done well in the 3 km time trials and also looking at the "elite" runners at other clubs ( seeing their results) I have come to the conclusion that unless you need to run quickly for 3km to pick up a ball during a game ( to my knowledge rarely happens) , then the trials are only a good benchmark of where a player is at ( and should be) compared to his previous endeavors - as opposed to beating other players. Finishing in the top 6 doesn't make you a footballer.

    I know King has a bit of work to do on his fitness, but is he tagging on to the back group now. Previous years he's been way off the mark. Improvement would be good to see.

    Hogan running laps with one of the fitness staff.

    I'm thinking geez this guy must be fit.

    Of course it's Crossy!

    Remember noticing one of the fitness staff a few years ago and thinking.

    "Geez... this fella looks like he can play."

    Closer inspection revealed it to be Scott West.

    you were not wrong

    A - McDonald, Viney, Bugg, M Jones, Stretch, Jkh, White, Smith

    B- ANB, Harnes, Tyson, Vanders, Hunt, Salem

    C - Oscar, Garland, Terlich. Kent, Kennedy, Moncrieff, King, Frost, Keilty

    Groups running from half forward around the boundary to the goal square then up to the other end.

    1 group goes. Tags in the other groups who then goes back the other way and so on.

    So it's 300m or so running followed by rest whilst the other groups go one at a time

  • Quote

    7 v 4 inside 50.

    Now 7 v 4 up and down a wing

    Sounds like some of our mismatches when we play good teams like Hawthorn or Eagles. 7 of them, 4 of us. :-((((

  • Quote

    The McDonalds are smashing their respective groups. Kent and Viney chasing. The B group is even. All look fit. Tyson and Harmes strong

    King is having a good battle trying to hang on to Keilty. But overall I'd say that's good for him.

    Smith starting well in the top group but is probably now contemplating going back to basketball. Good effort by him though

  • Quote

    The b team are by far the most vocal and are staying together. I like them

    King moves up to 2nd last.

    Poor Joel smith is cooked in the first group but they are getting around him

  • Quote

    How's Kennedy looking?

    middle of the 3rd group and he's short.

    Too early to judge any kind of skill or speed yet alone footballing ability.

    Running time. Split in to 2 groups.

    Hogan drops to last, 2 laps later he's near the front. He's in the a group.

    Kent working hard to lead the B group, super stuff. Oscar and Tyson on his trail.

    Vanders and Jhk take over the a group. No Tommy Mc in this. So they're the best we've got out there

    Kents hit the wall.

    Ben Kennedy is a long way back in the b group. Keilty, Frost then Max King behind him

    Very happy to read your line about Kent. His hammy was a shocker so to read that he is up and about is great news so early in the season.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
