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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
