An Austin Bradtke training update would be appreciated Saty

What are his skills like? How tall now? I assume he is fairly athletic given his basketball background. 

Cheers in advance

Another good session

Standouts today in the running sessions apart from the usual suspects were Harry Petty who has put on some size and the Weid

Goodwin, who didn't take the session, Pert and Mahoney in attendance

Austin Bradtke did most of the session same with Guy Walker, neither missed a kick which was encouraging

Couldn't take the smile from Bradtke's face during the session as you can see from the photo, said he is loving it, told him I will ask same question in February

Preuss has the weirdest kicking action I have seen, and have seen some doozies in last 10 years of MFC training, but is accurate passing over all distances

All the basics are there, will post a photo next it has Weid, Gawn, Preuss Petty, Keilty and you can make out Bradtke head in middle so gives idea of Preuss and him

Hunt was the only rehabber, no sign of Lever

No Salem, JKH, Omac or Viney from Monday

Jones was there, of course, he was doing repeat runs in the middle of the oval, like watching a machine, no change of style, speed etc from start to finish

An interesting observation, the repeat running they do is timed, they have to try and maintain same time or thereabouts for each run, Preuss told one of the fitness guys he hadn't done timed runs before and didn't know how to pace himself

Thanks for the insight @Satyriconhome. Anything stand out about Walker or Bradke thus far or just mainly running and basic skill drills? Thanks. 

 

Young Bradtke has been on the club's books for several months now so despite the fact that he wasn't able to train until now, I am somewhat disappointed at the absence of a beard.

Come on Max - teach the kid!

Seriously? I was hoping by now he'd be over whatever it was that hindered him last year. Someone said back, someone said neck, did we ever find out what the problem was?

Ok cheers. Hope he gets back to the main group shortly and has a clear crack at it. Back in form he'd be a big bonus for us.

A couple of other sayings:

  • 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?

    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?
