No, it wasnt pre-planned.

My mate lives opposite Vic Park, and we noticed their was a lot of noise coimg from there. Strolled over, and the Tigers were having an intra club match.

I am now tempted to put money on them for the spoon. It was a very unorganised session with some of the worst skills I have ever seen. Granted, it was slippery and humid, but still. At one point Terry Wallace stopped the match completely because he was unsatisfied. He barked orders for a few minutes, then they started up again

At one point they chipped the ball around for 5 minutes, their forward line was overcrowded. And Richo didnt look too happy (whats new)

Kent Kingsley and Jay Schulz werw walking laps. They then ran off the track before their teammates had even finished the intra club, and jumped in their car amd went home. So much for the word "team". Coughlan still recovering from a knee, and was just doing handball drills. The Snake rocked up on crutches, poor bastard.

Graham Polak did look pretty good playing full back on Richo. The conditions would have helped him though.

    You know what?

    I had been getting a bit sick of reading pre season training reports because most of them at this time of the year are looking at their clubs through rose coloured glasses. I think we would be much better off asking someone who supports a club other than Melbourne to go and have a look at our training and vice versa with the opposition clubs. The reports would be more interesting!

    (no offence to WJ, Decoy and George at Demonology)

    That's a great idea. I'm gonna try and get that organised with one of my mates.

    Can I ask how Nathan Brown trained?

    No, I'm not a closet Richmond fan... just curious.

    I caught up with a mate who is a mad Hawks supporter for a coffee on Wednesday out at Waverley and we watched the Hawks train for about an hour and a half, and I have to say, they looked pretty damn good!!!!!!

    Not only that, but I am bloody jealous of the set up they have out there........absolutely fantastic.......the Hawks should be congratulated for setting up an awesome training base!

    They were very sharp, and played a few 10-15 quarters before doing laps, then back into game mode.

    Standouts were Roughhead........he has bulked up, and marked everything that came his way........he will be a big improver this year.

    Beau Muston......the guy that has had a few knee recos looks fully fit, and can seriously play this kid........he could be a gem for the Hawks!

    Josh Kennedy (son of John)....the biggest 18 year old rookie I have seen......he has clearly been preparing for his tilt at AFL for a while......he looked impressive as well.

    I think the Hawks will be a tough proposition in round 1 of the NAB cup, and I hope the MFC have been working hard in the off season because the Hawks definitely look much better than last year........but time will tell!

    It's funny that you were unimpressed by the Tigers YM. Speaking on SEN this week Kevin Bartlett claimed that he'd been talking with an AFL scout who went to different AFL club training sessions (to spy on them) who told KB that the Tigers were training the hardest of all the AFL clubs.

    The Hawks will definitely be hard to beat in our first up NAB Cup game. They're pumped and primed to do well after a very lean period and teams like that are very dangerous in the pre season competition.

    I suppose I have to agree that most clubs look pretty good on the surface this year. After all, they're not losing any games.

    FWIW

    The Hawks lack of a ruckman, full forward and full back might see them wanting a bit.

    Kids look great playing against other kids. Let's see how they look against MEN like Carroll, Neitz, White and Jamar. (a doubt Neitz will play in the NAB cup game though).

    GO DEES

    Well I was only there for half hour, and it was an intra club

    They may be training hard, but one thing seems the same as alays - they still have terrible skills

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
