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

Come on Sue, you're better than that.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
