    Max King's doing laps.

    The Congan ambassador is getting some physio.

    Do you know if Max King is injured DeeSpencer or just having a light day? I'm hoping he will come on this year

    Cheers

    I'm assuming if he is with Dawes and Lumumba he isn't 100%

    Legend DeeSpencer!

    If you get a chance, would love to hear your thoughts on these things:

    - How far off from actual footy training do you think Trengove is?

    - Who's being vocal out there?

    - What Oliver's disposal is looking like and if he's training mostly with the mids or forwards?

    Even if you can't get to those, looking forward to hearing your observations.

    Boys are doing a drill that goes short kick to a f flank, square to chf, kick to a lead from the square.

    All kicks encouraged to be fast. 1 step, kick says the coach. 

    Dunn and Gawn the most vocal. 

    White stands out in his ability to spear a pass from this 1/3 of the team. 

    Tyson kicking with more penetration. 

    Oliver kicks the ball well when balanced, massages it a bit when under pressure. Not the best or worst

    I know that Dawes' marking skills are often <indescribable> but I recently watched a few matches (which we won, I'm not a masochist) and he took some really good critical marks.  Let's not overdo the mockery.

    Oliver and Mi King have joined rehab. 

    Petracca done for the day. No signs of Bewton. 

    Hogan, Frost and T Mc doing marking drills. 

    Smith also in the rehab shirt. 

    2 different hard and fast handball drills happening. All about quick decisions under pressure and getting in to space

    might get along soonish myself to have a gander but can you  'opinionate' perhaps as to how switched on they look.  Are the drills working. ? Do people really seem to get the idea of moving and gettting there promptly.

    What Im trying to get at here is sometimes drills are  a false guide..its how you go when its mixed up a bit.  Macca was suggesting that the 'elements' are now being transferred across into real  meaningful and purposeful match simulation., that the 'habits ' are sticking.

    Have you noticed this  ?  

    cheers

    In between drills the main group pair off for sprints around the centre square. 

    Modern version of go do a 400.

    Vanders flying to match pace with Hunt. 

    Looks like some full ground blue v green with a 3rd group waiting for some match simulation

    Are the Dawes jokes missing the mark?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
