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.

    Is it usual to train the day before they play?

    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.

    In overdrive.

    Viney probably in cotton wool to keep him fresh for the match, he's playing as a shock trooper on reduced minutes

    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 pretty sure he didn't train this time last week either. Probably getting the those tank tracks greased.

    Vandenberg hasn't trained the final day for the last 4 weeks I don't think, and Viney would be taking it easy.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
