sorry S6S, your right there are many white caps,  so I see the one i'm talking about is COliver... now can you tell me the taller one, skinny kid, please?

 

oliver looks as I would expect in close shot,  but smaller than expected other side of pack, when with the ball... I hope that makes him slippery around packs. ;)

Thanks for displaying the player's names 666! It certainly makes the picture tell a more complete story as I couldn't otherwise pick King or Hulett.


Not many punches connecting!

No, just bad puns, Moonie. But you can credit me with more wisdom than that if you like.

I will know better next time Dr.


Can anyone explain why boxing appears to be an integral part of football training? Is it (a) reflexes, (b) coping with fear, (c) bicep development, (d) coping with pain (when hit), (e) all of the above, (f) something else altogether? Frankly, I can't see what it offers...but obviously it must have some value.

Boxing is a fantastic form of anaerobic fitness that involves very little loading of the joints. It gets the heart rate right up. It's also very good for upper body strength.

Great pics thanx 666

While there are still some skinny scrawny types the muscle development seems years ahead of usual 

and you seem to have captured them as they are really applying themselves. Good muscle definition and the expressions seem more intense as well.

 

Are you getting the feeling that there is a greater intensity in their work than last year?

I'm probably not the best judge of how there going in the preseason. They look better to me each year with the exception of one M Neeld's 2nd year. I did have a brief chat to Brendan McCartney and he reckons they're going to be all right. Said there is a real trust developing between the group which was totally lacking when he arrived.

A small gallery to finish off this exercise.

I'm off on a short beak now to recharge the batteries for the coming year. Hope you've all enjoyed this little indulgence of mine.

Enjoy the New Year festivities and keep safe.

The boys are back on Monday and the footy is just around the corner

See you in the New Year.

Go Dees,

Have a great holiday 666!

thanks again 666 for comments and pics

 

If you keep up the visuals we can get some commentary from the other training watchers.

 

I have to say, I am so impressed with the attitude Oliver has shown this year.  The amount of weight he lost before being drafted, the way he attacked the draft combine, living away from his family to make it easier to play footy.  I'm sure it's these things as much as his form late in the season that lifted him right up the order.  So often we've had talented kids who didn't want to work hard.  Here we seem to have a kid who started doing the hard work on his own and is loving being given more now that he's at a club.  I really hope he continues in this vein.

I really appreciate the time you have taken to name those players.  Many of us take time to get used to regognising new players, even some of the second years.  Well done.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
