Today Jordan Lewis was teaching the boys about the fine points of unsociable football, viney went the best in unsociable drills,  watts just could not get his head around it,  CP5 would do it with a smile, nev hit the hardest, pedo duck his head,  Angus kept getting his head knocked and omac did not see it coming, overall it was a well run drill,  but many egos where bruised and Tyson hurt his knee again, some will question if it had any benefit to it, others will say they have done it as well,  others will be scratching their heads 

Was that before or after a brick fell from the sky and hit Salem in the head?

They should run a "piss taking course" for Demonlanders who don't get a joke.

Can't believe it wasn't reported before! I heard someone say it came from an aeroplane. I was too distracted by some goose wearing a silver rabbit mask when it happened to see for myself

I posted this on the Women's football board but thought it was worth putting over here on the main board:

I love the fact that the back page of the Age is red and bue with a photo of daisy. Great for our club and the decision years ago to invest in and support women's football will play big dividends for us in terms of exposure and growth in the number of supporters. 

To be honest i hadn't given the AFLW a great deal of thought but i'm now genuinely looking forward to it and its great i have to team to barrack for

Just on Tyson and his knees, when I went to training in later December, one thing I noticed about Tyson (but didn't mention) was the way he stands and the mechanics of his legs.

When standing and walking, it's as if he is in a constant state of hyperflexion. As if he has abnormally flexible knee joints and that the supporting ligaments and muscles surrounding the knee are unusually stringy. 

It just genuinely looked like his legs would snap at any second. I wonder if this contributes at all to these knee injuries that seemingly keep occurring. You'd have to think so.

I assume you mean hyperextension. 

I do wonder how much prehab our guys do and working on posture, gait etc. Hogan's bow legged and awkward running style is the one that makes me think of it. But with how professional the staff are surely they are all over it? Probably can't fix these things overnight, have to do a lot of core work, exercises, gait technique, taping etc to get it right.

True I think too many demonlanders   are far to serious,  but I think they could benefit if Lewis did teach them on unsociable footy

Yes, that's precisely what I meant. Auto correct.

Agree with all of that however what I see with Tyson isn't something that can be fixed. 

The elasticity of his knee joint seems to me to be what's causing him to stand and walk in such a hyperextended pose.

Next time you're at training, have a look at him and compare him to anyone else.

Not a lot to report from today's session. My guess is that today's training whilst designed to be one of 3 main sessions for the camp, was never meant to be full gas like some that I have seen up here over the past 3 years, where they were monitoring body temps etc. It was a bit lackluster in my book.

Either they are: still acclimatizing / still hungover from Australia Day / have already been thrashed over the last 2 days. Take your pick? I'm expecting Saturday's session to be the one to be at to get a better reflection of how things are tracking.

Here's some observations from today session for what it's worth:

* Maynard and Tim Smith both caught my eye. Both impressed me with their mobility for big guys and impact around the ground. Smith looks to me like he has worked hard on his game and will contribute something to the seniors. Maynard's swagger reminds me a bit of watching Petracca for the first time 2 years ago. Smith a focal point up forward and I think Maynard a back/mid at a guess.

* Slightly different vibe about training from the past 3 years. Couldn't put a finger on what it was. Perhaps the best way to describe it is it was a little more chilled out. Not sure if that is good or bad but it was noticeable.

* Surprised at some of the different faces being vocal and taking leadership roles. Vandenburg & Bugg among them.

* Won't bother listing the rehabbers, if anyone wants to know I'm sure they'll ask. I can say that all of them are not far off the pace and in good nick considering.

* Just realized none of the indigenous boys were there. Maybe training with the Boomerangs or something? Just guessing.

* Clarry provided the highlight of the session for me, making a tackle that I'm still shaking head at and wondering how he made it.

* Jason Taylor watching on. Was good to see him still taking an interest in how the newer recruits were travelling.

* The Hulk looking confident with his goal kicking.

Still waiting for some signs that some of that greatness is kicking in - Lets wait and see what Saturday brings.

I heard on the radio that a number of Indigenous players in the AFL are attending a workshop in Broome.

Thanks Roosy's Bruisers, nice to have a local view.

 

One question, are you going to change your name to Goody's Grinders?

Not bad...I'll give it some consideration.

I can tell you that within 3 weeks, 3 nights and 3 hours I will have changed my name.

Don't tell me that Ben Guthrie was wrong.

I was surprised by the Burgo comment, Pedo at start of pre season told me they wanted him around the size he was which was a tick under 100kg, he had toned a bit but obviously a change of plan, think the days of him rucking are over, we seem to want mobile guys up forward

Could be right there mate. Perhaps they are keeping the scheduling close to a normal routine.

Didn't see much craft today though.

I can picture this Saturday being more match practice with a lighter buildup throughout the week. That is either a change from the Roos era or it's because we are a week later into pre-season this year. I can recall past camps being draining sessions all through the week.

Burgo mentioned in his diary that Pedersen has dropped 10 kilos and is now down to 93kegs. Great effort Pedo!

Photos are up too. Whatever gear Petracca is on i want some.
