Arrived a little early... Rehab group already out on the paddock, with Don Tyson joining the regulars. Tyson, Hibberd, Big Mac and Melksham kicking in pairs on the lead with Crossie overseeing them. Viney on straight sprints, Vanders on fast laps, King mixing it up. The whole group arrived with Watts looking like a former Brisbane Brownlow medalist!

    Haven't spotted Lewis or Garland yet. Main group rotating through agility and quick spread handball & kicking at the moment. Melksham and Hibberd running hard laps

    Thanks for reports. Is Big Mac Tom McDonald, Oscar McDonald or Max Gawn?

     

    Edit: Voss, Akermanis or Black?

    Full oval kicking to lead and running on at top pace now. A lot to like here. The skip is tearing it up. Bernie is fit and chomping the bit. ANB gets a crack at a full preseason. Petracca urges them on from the sidelines. Ollie might be low on middle distance stuff but he remains very high with the ball in his sights!

    Jack (Aka) Watts just performed the rarest of feats... a total miss-kick! Stubbed his toe and was told to replace divot!

    First time I've noticed the grooves being broadcast from the boundary during training... nice upbeat atmosphere wafting across the Paddock

    Whitey struggling against Hunt, who just took a screamer on the boundary line. The pressure on the man with the ball is very high for this time of the year

    Goodwin just congratulates White for his perfect pass to the leading Weiderman, which is good coaching for a bloke who had previously lowered his colours. Bernie and the Skip continue their brilliant ball handling and disposal

    Oscar has appeared and joins the main group, who are now gathered watching Goodwin demonstrate a specific play

    Any sign of Lewis??

    Jetta smooth and clean as usual, doesn't mind putting a bit of body pressure on the youngsters either. Jones enjoying a stint as the deep goal kicker Brayshaw also doing well

    My two hour car park under the bridge is running low so I'll be leaving soon. They have broken into 3 groups now. Ollie walking around still out of the action All groups doing versions of handball under pressure

    Misson blows the whistle and the groups rotate. Watts & Bernie running the. Lindsey now. "Keep going boys, keep going" is the catchcry of all coaches. Frost also taking time-out on the fence

    The activity that Rooke is vouching is hard work, with lots of tackling and tough body work Ollie is wandering back to main group and Macca had a word to him Maybe he took a hit in an earlier activity

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
