?????????????????????????

Now I am not even in Melbourne (?Lembeh Island?)ย and it isn't even dawn yet but I am hoping that I can read some comprehensive reports on the boys' progress from Saty and others during the course of the day. Just making it easy for everybody by starting the post! ?

?????????????????????????

ย 

I'm interested to know if they're starting to break up into backs, mids, forwards and who's in which group. ย For example is Hunt still in defence or mids. ย Which group is Salem linking to ?

It may be too early in the first week for all that, but over coming weeks I'd appreciate knowing who is training with which group.ย 

ย 

I was there this morning, change of personnel this morning Bugg out Natnan Jones, Hibberd, Viney in

Hogan the standout again today, reckon they ย will be pulling theย reins a bit soon, Petracca good as well, Salem produced one of the worst kicks I have seen him do in a drill, much to everybody's amusement, soon back on song

Will be posting a pic of Maynard next to Jake Spencer so posters can aee why is size is mentioned, if somebody later can put on here, pics should be up in hour or so

The soccer drill is for coordination and making them use both feet

More later


I popped down for a bit. Nathan Jones was out there I believe for the first time. Viney was moving and kicking freely but is still in the rehab group.

They did a drill in front of where I was standing with 3ย cones setup in a triangle shape and a group of players behind each cone. The player with the ball would kick to aย player at the front of either of the other 2 cones and then sprint there to stand on the mark. If he wasn't on the mark in time the instruction was the player receiving had to play on immediately and get it to the next cone. If the player did get close enough to the mark the receiving player had to fake one way then play on the other. And so on went the drill. The skills were pretty good. The emphasis in the drill is clearly to get the ball moving quickly.

I was there for an hour or so. Frost joined rehab group and went in early. Slight upper leg strain my guess, but someone else will update the site on this, I'm sure. Beautiful Melbourne morning and the session had the feel of early season training, with several miss-kicks and lack of stamina by some in the competitive stuff. Brayshaw was one who surprisingly had poor delivery for a five minute period.ย It was quite willing at times with a few players copping a few bruises in the tackles. Hogan was impressive. Wagner was also fit and clean in his defensive work. Vanders still running the boundary line. Melksham and Hibberd looking sharp in the kick to the lead activity, Jack Viney was also working hard in this group, along with Mitch King, who was less impressive today when fatigue started to cut in. Billy Stretch impressed in the large group as did Petracca.

Saty, just copy (tap on the three dots, top right hand of Instagram screen)ย and pasteย the URL into the body of the post. If you wait 15 - 30 seconds, the picture will eventually insert itself into the field - as per above.

Thanks Saty, nice to see you being recognized for your fine work along with Wrecker and WW.

Frosty has an issue with an ankle, not due back till 21st so was told to give it a rest

Macca is pumped, think it will be him driving the standards, coaches as well, so Goody can coach


It was refreshing to hear Goodwin say that they'd have the footies out straight away, and it sounds like it's been true. Gone are the days of no footies before Christmas.ย 

I feel so impatient waitingย for this coming season. I can't remember the last time I was so looking forward to one.

Love the training reports guys. Thanks, the effort isย much appreciated, regardless of whether you're writing full reports or the odd one liner.ย 

More opposite foot kicking in the 2 sessions I've seen than in the last 2 decades.ย 

Players went off to the tan hills. Apparently Stevo has that later.

Melksham (just leading) from Viney put a fair old gap in Piggy Hibberd in their interval runs.

Without the restrictions of neck surgery this year Nath Jones looks like he's done a lot of strength work. Looking at his nuggety best.ย

Wayne - is this an early indication that both Melksham and Hibberd will be stationed across half back, or was it just their role in the drill?

Yes that is quite a size difference, Spencer is huge.

Edit:- Had a look at demonpk photos, thanks, Crossy still looks like he could play.

So, are the footiesย out there or are we football-free?

No after first session on Monday which was virtually footy free, lots of footy drills now, Goody good to his word

When I spoke to Goody on Monday, Hibberd half back, Melksham same as Lewis/Jones/Vince ย  wing/halfback/guts

Spencer St!!

I also asked Kelly O Donnell whether the had looked at Kobe Farmer, said he will be in 'the system' next year which will give them opportumity to have a close look

The players stir Crossy all the time, but you can sense the respect, ย I asked him whether there was even a slight chance of showing his age or slowing down, emphatic NO

On the fitness side, they are ย trialling a large electronic clock comtrolled by the video guys so everybody can see the length of time for drillsย 

On McKenna, early observations, nice size, good speed and neat and tidy kicking action, has slotted in seamlessly, was told he turned up first day in excellent nick

And on the fitness side, spoke to Macca, who says it straight, said any player who turns up less than perfect, may as well start practicing the drive to Casey

Did you get a chance to have a chat to Trenners at all Saty?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.
