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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
