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.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
