Is there a session on today? If so i cannot find the time as i was planning on heading down to have a look.

Cheers

Summary of Training:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just got here.

They've split into 3 groups and all doing what looks like ground balls/touch work.

JKH looking clean on both sides of the body as is Gus.

Groups swap to the next cones now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dom is in the group in front of me and he just looks like a dejected man..

In saying that his skills look very slick as is young Flippa!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Now doing some what looks like 80% run throughs.

Hunt in the footy boots doing what looks like 400m timed sprints.

Joel Smith is on the other side of the ground getting worked over by the rehab crew. Seems to be moving well.

Group has split into full ground drill now.

Maxy, Flip and King doing ruckwork with Stafford.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Skills has started off a bit sloppy.. Salem, Vanders, Tmac missing kicks. Fritz and just oozes serious class with his kicking skills.

As i type this i must say there's been a bit too many sloppy kicks for my liking.. hopefully it improves as the session goes by.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Bit overcast and bit breezy mate but nothing threatening at all.

Jeez poor JKH does a lot of hard running and spread for minimal reward.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Group has now split into 5 small group just doing extra touch and groud ball.

Vanders is a seriously big unit! Id love to know his actualheight because hes definitely alot taller then Wagner whos listed at 189cm tall.

Btw no Billy Stretch here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Group has now split into 2 big groups with one closest to me doing 4 point kicking which then finishes in the middle group who kicks up to full forward. Clarry is one of those leading forwards along Smith and Tom McDonald.

Lewis, Spargo, Gawn hardly missing targets.

Dom, JKH, Pedi and Baker also kicking well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Groups have split into forwards, backs and Mids.

Some interesting ovbservation here. Fritsch is with the mids playing a sweeping role off a hslf back qlong with gus and Baker. Interestingly Lewis is also with the mids doing stoppage work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Austin Bradtke is also here doing some work with an assistant coach. Bloody tall kid!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The session has finished but the guys who played at Casey are doing some boundary line run throughs. Though Kent and Vanders are doing goal kicking practice with some forward while Goody stands on the mark and watches on.

Jones just doing extra touch with Ben Matthews.

 

MOD EDIT: @dazzledavey36 is answering questions throughout the thread.

How is Joel Smith moving?

Be a shame if Stretch didn’t play this week, he was good last week.

Looks fine to me? 

And as i type this hes just joined the main group with the backline group.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
