Arrived on time. Only ANB, Filipovic & Hanban in rehab group with Crossy... maybe Mitch King had graduated!

Beautiful morning in Melbourne, going to be 31 today (cheers Ron Barassi!).

Main group just arriving.

Only Tyson, Kent & Hulett missing.

Big cheer for Kingy as they jog off on warm up lap.

Just going through routines at the moment, run throughs, short kicks... nothing of significance to report

Into 3 groups for skills/evasive work with assistants. Misso comes over and carefully rearranged a cone that a toddler/spectator had carried around for a while

Three sets of 60 metre sprints.

Petracca just leads Melksham for 2, Melksham pips him on third.

Johnstone impressive but Clarrie runs him down in third. Keilty is quite quick.

It's this sort of attention to detail that typifies New Melbourne.

30 metre passing, full ground. Assistant (couldn't tell which) calls them in because they aren't doing enough when they haven't got ball

Awesome. Moving without the ball has been my biggest problem with us for 10 years!

Cheers for the reports btw WW

Which is why we've been utterly shite from kick-ins and going forward.

There's quite a bit of 'dissatisfaction' being expressed by the assistants today. It's a lazy day sunshine type of Monday! I don't think the squad are particularly poor... I think it's time to crank it up!

First time long time guys & girls. 

Very excited for the year ahead, somehow managing to keep a lid on it however.

Getting slightly concerned re the training reports and Dean Kent ... seems something suss is going on.

Any word on what is happening there?

The iron boundary rail is too hot to lean on now as they break into small groups again. The group near me are doing a run and carry activity which is very willing. Wagner puts White down, Hoges flips Garlett over into a barrel roll. Rawlings is barking instructions... first demanding more, then full of praise for intensity and decision making

Edited by waynewussell

Gotta love it when there's no injury news on a player who hasn't trained for over two weeks now.

Really good stuff.

Groups rotate now. Standouts in previous group, Watts, Jones, Wagner. Slight errors by foot... Billy, Oscar. In new group Clayton holds on to ball for too long... a little later he is monstered by Max, but bounces up and gets straight back into it. Bernie excels by foot. Kielty is praised for two great intercepts


  • Author

Harmes been doing well, Judy just took on Maynard and won. Johnstown pops it up a little high for Kielty, but he marks and handballs back to Johnstone who has run on impressively... he nails a 'goal'. Rawlings calls them in, then they rest. Max is outstanding in these small team games

  • Author

Hannan putting some space between him and Filipivic as they run the boundary... perhaps he got a jump start. This rehab group, which includes ANB has continued, hard at it, throughout the session. The main group are in the centre now setting up the next drill. A trainer holds up the magnets to allocate teams/roles

Maybe family matters over in perth for Kent?  Has anyone even seen him since the break?

 
  • Author

11 v 8 defenders between the HF lines. Long Petracca pass cut off by Hibberd, he passes over the back to a running Spencer, but Jetta runs him down and stops him in a vice like tackle

  • Author

Defenders, including Max and Oliver intercept the next thrust, pass to Bugg who holds on for too long and the reset whistle blows

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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 Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"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 Collingwood’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.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
