You know the one, the one where kicks hit targets, I haven't done that before.

I cringed when I read that.  Have we not learnt our lesson from previous doses of the Messiah Syndrome?

Tyson is in the rehab group, Kent did some laps with Hulett and a bit of handball, didn't ask, get nothing anyway, club hasn't bothered

ANB and Hannan the only other two in rehab, but they may  as well be in main group  Crossy works them over, another two hours of 'rehab' covering everything

Frost  all defensive craft no surprise

Bugg  midfield craft no surprise

Highlight for me today Pedo testing his shoulder out late in the session with a bit of one on one with Crossy   he survived

Forwards heaps of goalkicking practice, including the worst ever effort I have seen from Watts, went sideways, to everybody's amusement, including his, of course he nailed every one after that

And on that JKH  again lined one up at about 45deg angle 55 out, through the middle, hit the netting behind the goal about half way up, Dion Johnstone then followed same result  competition is a wonderful thing   pics on Instagram next half hour

Is Tom Mac back in full training or still in rehab for his shoulder? 

 

Also I laughed at the poster who mentioned Lewis being the messiah. Hardly the messiah, just a damn good player who can hit a target! Glad our players are taking as much from him as they can.

Tommy Mc and Pedo do most things but they also do a bit extra obviously to test the shoulders out, both strapped up but that's normal for both

Lewis is above everything else a team man, has impressed all with his team first attitude, think Tommy is taking the [censored] as well with his kicking drill remark about Lewis

Thanks for the reports!

Just wondering if Kent was walking or running these laps??

Liking hearing JKH has some tricks. To be honest I've never rated him, but getting keen to see him have a clear run at it this year.

We have just stopped burning players, similar to Nev Jetta and Jayden Hunt, both couldn't get a clear run, but showed glimpses, so club persevered, JKH will be given the same opportunity, fitness staff have worked wonders with this body, ball is now in his court (Aust Open ref), it was fun watching him go head to head with Dion Johnstone today on goalkicking

I am working on Friday and besides don't like to travel any further south than Caufield, looking forward to hearing maybe a different reporting voice

Of all the training days, think the Wednesday craft day is my favourite, some strange drills when you first look at them, but bit of thought and you see why they are doing them

Couple of favourites

Player has ball at feet facing away from player, whistle, bend down pick up ball turn left or right, depending on previous and kick immediately to player about 20 metres away

Player only holds ball in one hand, keeps other hand behind back, has to drop ball and kick to other player about 15 metres away

Seriously though, I don't the club sees it that way.  We're just lucky that a player of his talent and experience fell into our laps for virtually nothing.  That rarely happens in this day and age.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
