AFLW Preseason

Featured Replies

So, preseason training started yesterday.

I think we can safely assume our girls are training the house down!

But I'll try to get down to a session at some point, and if so, will post a report of some kind here.

 

 

It seems training support has gone up a few notches:  "A countdown clock with siren for skill drills, music blaring from loudspeakers behind the southern end goals and even a drone filming running patterns weren't the only changes to Melbourne's first night back".

Kudos to Daisy and the other 19 players who self-funded a five-day camp in Sydney.  Shows real commitment to the team and to each other.  That can't help but impact teamwork on game day.

Update on 'Rocky' Cranston from the MFC website:

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-12-04/aflw-cranston-ready-to-go

As much as I liked her 'crash and bash' style (as she puts it) in the first season I'm glad to know she's putting in the hard yards to round out her game. The more contests she can get her physicality to the better for the team.

Good story, committed to the cause. Go Rocky!

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
