Garlett was moving freely so was Kent. One or both will play round 1.

When you're winning it's called a "knock on tactic". When you're losing, it's called a fumble. I know what to call what I've been watching for the last decade.

Just dropping by for 20 mins. Intensity and enthusiasm excellent,  however my attention has been drawn to the rehab group consisting of Wagner, White, Maynard, and Jayden Hunt. I spoke to him and asked if he had a niggle but he said he got a head knock and reckons he will be fine!

Hogan training in main group looks like no concerns. 

Lewis hands are just as lethal as his left boot.

Boys are up n about, great voice and they look ready to go!

I just started a thread at same time. Purely to say Hogan is in full flight.

When i walked past Hunt he was outside the boundary line half way between the 50m and goals, took about 3 steps and did a casual bannana straight through post height.

Hunt looks OK, I reckon it's just precautionary... saw him drill a torp from 65 with a slight breeze! 

Pedo looks a little saw in his strapped shoulder/ pec. 

Frost looks fit in main group. JKH jogging n walking laps

Seems to be an emphysis on tapping the ball along the ground to our favour rather than picking it up that i haven't seen before.

Could be part of Goodwins plan or i might be reading too much into a training drill.

No i think you are right ie knocking the ball on being part of goody's strategy to keep the ball moving forward. it was noticeable in the JLT how often players elected to knock the ball forward, rather than grabbing it. The other part of the strategy is to have multiple players pushing hard forward to be in a position to collect the ball. Trac does it all the time.

A spectacular example was the tap on by Harmes to Spencer, who goaled, against Wet Toast.

Tyson doing a drill with coaching staff picking the ball up under pressure then kicking to a leading target inside 50.

He puts them high up in front on his right and drills them in with his left. His radar is back. Missed about 2 in 20.

The Dogs and GWS successfully employ the knock on tactic, in addition to the throw or flick pass.

Libba one of the best at the latter skill I would argue Ernest. I reckon they won a few bonus matches last year with their ring around the rosey flicks, scoops and tricks. I reckon we've also done a bit of work here over the summer. Hopefully we can do so to great effect on game day and match the likes of the Dorks & The Dogs and win a few more games as a result.

Jack Watts was hitting them to the opposition.

That would certainly not help his prospects of playing the first round Wrecker ?

Thanks for the reports.

Any info in Jeffy, Kent and/or Kennedy?  Need a small forward for Round one...

Does his absence from the rehab group mean that Weid was also training with the main??

The old "Hawthorn nudge", love it, about time. Can really put a player into space with some of these taps, knock ons.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
