He had surgery to both ankles in the off-season so we can cut him some slack (just this once)


Cut him some slack.

No way the slack buggers missed the finals, the weak pea hearted bastards. 

 

Bugg looked very good all session... he won the time trial yes, but on the final lap he was huffing and puffing while both TMac and ANB appeared to have a lot left in the tank.  Bugg’s kicking is looking very sharp as well... I get the feeling he’s working hard to make up for last year’s transgression.

Others who looked very sharp were Salem, Hogan, ANB, TMac, Oliver.

OMac is looking very fit and seems to have built up his body. JKH is also looking very fit and is moving well.  Petracca, Jones and Kent were all in rehab, but looking like they could be ready to participate with the main group... although Kent really doesn’t appear to have his heart in it... to my mind at least.

Can’t recall all of those in the rehab group, but Weeds, Tim and Joel Smith, Maynard, Viney and Balic were all there.  Saw VDB, who did not participate and did appear to be in some discomfort walking across the ground.

My son took lots of photos today and I will provide a link to the album in my Facebook account once I’ve had a chance to get them off the camera and edited.

How was Viney looking/moving?

Does he look far off??

This doesn't look good for him. Sounds like he's coming from a long way back.

Having a look at him prior to Christmas, it looked like he struggled to maintain muscle during his rehab.

Here's wishing he makes it back and soon.

Jack's fine and right on track, I had a chat to him on way back to AAMI (had to leave early), AVB was walking ok, was next to him, just taking it step by step?

Bewdy, Buggy. A worthy effort. Things turning corners?

I’m just going on how they were sounding as they passed us on that final lap; my observation only.

Thank christ we have something resembling football to talk about.

 Late next month we see the boys on the field again. I love the pre-season comp. Beats watching the Poms bat any day.

Surprised we haven't heard more about the new boys. Years gone by it's all we would hear about.

How can you tell if a players heart is "in it"?

Body language.

As Frustrated Demon said, it’s the body language. For example, there was one exercise he was doing with Peteacca and Jones starting in the centre where in this case Kent would kick to Petracca, keep running then take the handball from Petracca and kick to Jones, keep running and receive the handball from Jones and then kick a goal... while Jones and Petracca run as hard as they could, when it was his turn, Kent barely got above a jogging pace.  He just seemed to be going through the motions.

Could also be a confidence thing as well.

Possibly, but for some reason Kent doesn’t strike me as someone who would have confidence issues.  I hope you’re right though, because I’d like to see him do well this year.

Could be that Kent's shoulder is still troubling him or is yet to reclaim full movement. That can also affect his confidence notably

Are they available anywhere except that damn Facebook?

No, I’m sorry, but that’s the on;y place I can keep them... I don’t want to have to manage multiple sites. I’m not 100% certain, but I would have thought you should be able to view them without a Facebook account as I have them up for public viewing.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
