G’day folks,  

Any times listed for training?

Cheers.

No times listed but I will wander by tomorrow to see if anyone is training. 

My wife is off to Hawthorn’s open training session tomorrow morning and asked if I wanted to come along! Is she kidding? So I said I was going to our training instead.

Down from Sydney. First time at training in 100 years. Flashbacks to ‘87. Surprisingly small amount of people here. 

Good news is Hibbo was just separated from the main group and did a couple of run throughs and is now back in the main group. Yee Haa!! Roll on Friday. Go Dees

All I want to see is bloody goal kicking practice. 

Doing a drill Practicing low sharp stab passes. Look good although all of Hunts have missed the spot so far.  

Jeez Hibbo is a built unit. J Smith a very good size now. 

Doing a match simulation from the wing. Maxy smashing it forward and players running on clearing and going for goal. First one went in. Good start. 

Yeh now some goal kicking practice 

Tracs hardly missed. As for JKH and Nibbler both better play in the back line. 

Weids technique is a thing of beauty. 

Harmseys in a special vein of form at the moment. Everything he’s touching turns to gold. Hasn’t missed a shot. 

Nev and JKH the last 2 on the field.

Thats a wrap.

It’s been the norm all year binman.

@It's Time standard routine for goal kicking or around the corner shots?

Mostly pretty standard. Right st the end Maxy spotted the Club videographer so went over outside the boundary righ where she was filming and had a shot. Hopefully that works tomorrow night

There was a very weird looking warlock dude. I’d say that was Saty. Hasn’t aged a minute. It was wet and windy and of course muddy. They had to shoo the kangaroos off the ground. Plus a lot of people going to work down Punt Rd on their horses. Otherwise nothing’s changed. Same jumper. Same shots on goal. Go Dees

Lovely morning for a hit out. It was again short and sweet.

Jack Viney in runners, except for a little ball work, was mainly watching.

Michael Hibberd had a short running test at the start, he then joined the main group. He looked unhampered.

Aaron vandenBerg was not on the field.

Jordan Lewis wearing kenty’s number 16 and Jake Melksham (I think) wearing Bernie‘s number 23.

24 players on the field including Jack.

After warm ups they split into two groups, backs and forwards/mids.

The backs had 9 players in the group, including Joel Smith, Jayden Hunt and Bailey Fritsch. After kicking drills along the boundary line then bringing the ball inside they gathered for an extended chat led by the coach Chaplin.

The mids/forwards did some short drills, with the mids from a ball up, linking to half forwards who would link with full forwards. They ended with lots of goal kicking.

Jay Kennedy-Harris training with mids/forwards and was last to leave the track.

In the words of Brendan McCartney, “attack the ball”.

Go Dees.

Training will have tapered right down by now. Andrew Leoncelli mentioned on 'The Dees Podcast' that there is no fitness work, but only game simulation and kicking/handball drills. Players not being out there doesn't mean much.

I'm suprised at the fitness work comment. I would've figured they worked them hard on the bye week. 

Recovery and Match drills are crucial right now. Good to see the goal kicking. I'm starting to think Trac has a touch of nervs about him. Good kick at training but in a game your nervous when he is lining up and maybe he is too.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
