Great run from behind on VandenBurg by Oliver. Weideman playing deep forward v McDonald boys. Pederson good in ruck and play on. Salem kicks long, Weideman flies high, crumb to Kent goal square, off ground GOAL!!!!!

He may be skinny and still a kid, but he aint scared to fly for the ball in packs this Weideman fellow.

I made the trek up to the training on Saturday from the GC to finally see the boys up here for the first time in three years. Most things have been covered pretty well but I thought I would share some

I was there on Saturday as well, making the trek up from Brisbane. Pretty much everything has been covered by others and managing young kids made it hard to watch everything. But a couple of things th

80 minutes in having a short break. Kennedy playing very well from centre. Garland steady in defense, hard to get past him. Salem very slick, clever in close. None of the young/new crew looking quite as good as the regulars - Brayshaw, Stretch, Harmes, ahead of Oliver & co, as you would expect. Kennedy certainly fits in well, Bugg has looked up to the AFL mark. Good to see Frost in some of the full ground match play, although he seems to have come off the ground again.

Oliver getting more of the ball now, still full of run. The rotations continue regularly between Blue, White & Green. Kennedy & Brayshaw teaming well for Blue. Viney & Stretch for White, (Stretch takes a good mark in front of Salem and goals) The Green team seems to be made up of younger guys mixed with a few Seniors.

A question for anyone that attended this year and last year. The commentary coming from WW seems to suggest the session is mainly skills and match simulation, whereas last year (memory ain't what it used to be) was all about fitness. Does there seem to be a greater emphasis being placed on skills now that the fitness levels are up to par?

Thanks for the reports Wayne. Sounds very promising. In previous years scattered amongst all the praise I usually notice a few "skills still need a lot of work" type posts. There seems to be a lot less this year, which is a good sign!

I only wish I had the time to get up to the Coast myself but I only just got back from an overseas trip and I have to show my face around work.

 

Why, you are the boss?

Signing off from Maroochydore. Great effort by the players to stay out and sign hundreds of autographs after such a exhausting training session. My (new) player to watch in 2016 is Ben Kennedy. The second year group have stepped up a notch, expect big things from Brayshaw, Stretch & Harmes. Kent & Salem appear to be in great form. Special mentions to Viney, Gawn, McDonald, Grimes, Garlett & Garland look to be on track for a very good year!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
