Now can you please say that again in a coherent paragraph?

Was typing quickly on my phone

If you don't like it don't read it rather than being a [censored] and adding nothing to the topic

Tim Smith, when I asked him, said yes to him playing on Monday

JKH was also training, but didn't get the opportunity to speak to him

From team last week Kent,  Weideman and Bugg were not training

Hogan looks primed to repay, outstanding session from him

 

Thanks Saty, appreciate the training news

Pedo have his usual 'im gonna kill you' facial expression or did he seem more upbeat?  if Smith is in, I doubt he'll even make the extended bench

True. But I'm not sure you're the best example setter of that..

Interesting info though.

I would genuinely like to see Tyson dropped. Don't like what he's offering our side and bringing in JKH for him sounds about right.

Ins: Hogan, Hibberd, Smith and JKH

Outs: Weideman, Hannan, Tyson and ?

Has there been any suggestion that Kent is injured? I find it hard to believe he'll be dropped. While I didn't think he was particularly good last week, I also didn't think he played badly enough to be demoted. 

PS: Saty, I miss your training reports.

I would be incredibly disappointed if Kent is dropped.


Apart from the 3 already mentioned none of the 'Casey' guys were there either, game tomorrow night

And none of the walking wounded

Lewis did whole session

Just the usual quick ball movement drills and a bit of one on one tackling, spoilling, marking etc

Hogan did about 10 minutes goal kicking at the end

Possibly Melksham (Hibberd to fill his spot)?

Keep in mind that of the guys being discussed following Saty's observations this morning, one will be the emergency (unless there's a plan for someone to play limited minutes in the VFL on Sat night and be the emergency on Mon night).  Perhaps the emergency is Smith given his ability to play tall / small / forward and back.

 

Of course it could all be smoke and mirrors, who knows with Goodwin,

No team announcement till tomorrow, but would have thought you would have to do the session to be considered

Got absolutely nothing when I asked about Kent

 

Could Tim Smith play the Vandenberg forward role?  He looked good playing up the field on the weekend for Casey, not sure he has the tank though


Not sure if I am repeating anything here, But the MFC twitter is stating that Hibberd is definitely playing.

The whole team needs to do at least 2 hours!

Tim Smith playing....?

Either your trolling us, or Tim is trolling you, or Goodwin is trolling Tim..

Troll within a troll within a troll .. TROLLCEPTION

So are Hogan and Hibberd confirmed to be the ONLY two ins? Thought Pedo would get a run with 32 touches, 15 hitouts and a goal playing FF for Casey

Me "Bull, are you in on Monday?"

Bull "Yes"

Also Club may have circumvented this with early call, but Hibberd left the track early with a TV cameraman following him halfway to AAMI.park, nothing in it

'Highlights' from training

Nathan Jones and Clarry continually niggling each other during the drills, fun to watch

Nev Jetta beating Hogan in a one on one with what seemed to a nice nudge with the foreman, Hogan loudly proclaiming it was hands and being shouted down, much to everybody's amusement

And Hogan sliding on his knees in the wet towards the fence and at the very last millisecond putting his hands up and grabbing the fence, there were a few minor heart attacks amongst players, coaches and watchers. He casually got back to his feet

Hibberd's left foot

Some of the ball movement at speed in the wet, hardly a missed target by hand of foot

If we are going by on what you saw today then it seems 

Ins: Hogan Hibberd Smith JKH

Outs: Weideman Bugg Kent ???

I wondet who the 4th out? Surely it has to be Hannan? 0 tackles last week and had 1 good Qtr.

I really hope Kent isn't dropped.. I understand that he could be inconsistent at times but blokes like Melk and Hannan have stunk it up even more this year. Games like this is exactly where i could see Kent turning it on.

AFAIK Weideman Bugg Kent Tyson Hannan named in the extended Casey squad - take your pick.


Just now, Gorgoroth said:

Saty, does Brayshaw have a close relationship to Jones as he did year 1? 

Yes he does, but wasn't there today, all the mids seem to get on really well, Clarry loves to niggle, only one he leaves alone is Viney surprisingly

I saw them together at the shops a few weeks ago so I would say yes.

Having said that I would be surprised if players would change friendships much over their careers (Carey and Stevens aside).

Was at training no Bugg Weideman or Kent    Tim Smith and JKH both there  asked Bull directly and he said Yes, missed JKH   not giving anything away cameras everywhere and the Richmond guy   recognised him from the few times watched their training

Thanks mate. You mean Smith is a definite inclusion?

And is Kent injured -- saw him named for Casey.  Would be very disappointed if he were dropped especially if (Goody's mate) Melksham stayed.

So Jesse was there then?

The whole team needs to learn to play 2 hours, in the one game!

Surely Kent's not dropped? Surely?

Meanwhile Melkshams body language in the last quarter with the game on the line was atrocious.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
