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.

Boys out on the track - minus the Casey group who will be training tonight.

 

Hunt, J.Smith & JKH all with the main group this morning.

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

So, what was it like at Gosch's Paddock in 1918? And was Saty there?

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.

Shitballs. MFCSS kicking in.

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.

Next mural for Hosier

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

Is that tank a phallic symbol?

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. 

Hassan Mann was there.Interviewed by 7 & 9 so should be on the news tonite.Overheard comments like they are a young team who  are bonding now and will do for the next ten years..And Hoges ain’t gonna leave a successful team!When training finished he went over and talked to a few players.Hibbo looked fine.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
