Billy is fine, right where he should be in his 'rehab',  I asked, we get it right these days, no rush, still January, always get a big hello, so head is in a good space as well

 

Saty apologies if I have missed the actual response to this but what does "he is where he should be mean"? Do you when he is likely due into full training? In rehab is there certain elements he has not participated in? Do we expect him to be right for season start or expected to be later. He and Lever are the two for me appear to be least likely to be ready to go but Billy needs as good a run in as he can get if he wants to secure a wing I would think.

    Yeah. He looked more focused on the training track on Saturday morning than he did for most of the second half of the season last year. Perhaps he got a rocket at his exit interview or came to the realization himself after the season ended that if he doesn’t lift his game in 2019, it will be the end for him.

    No one else has mentioned but I thought I would... Lever, Brayshaw and Stretch were really good with the kids today. Signing autographs, taking photos and the like and just being polite, while the kids were nagging them through training. The club has come along way since I was a Redleg which was good to see.

    Wait. Are you ragging on Petracca for telling the physio he was having pain in his knee, possibly the one he had reconstructed? While previously bemoaning his supposed immaturity? Would it help if we added a trigger warning to posts discussing Christian?

    Can someone suggest to Mr Preustt,  to maybe grow a bushy beard ???

    Little subtleties in his makeup shuit.  Says hes' still a boy, in a mans body.

    that's good to know. he'd want to pull his finger out, he's out of contract at years end and since Goody has taken over, he has shown he's not afraid to make guys 'walk the plank' for giving suspect effort at times. Watts, Hogan and Tyson all gone. 

    I reckon Jeffy has the first half of the season to win and then hold a spot in the team, otherwise he'll go on the scrap heap for good and we move on to some of the young kids we drafted instead.

    Petracca did seem to be struggling toward the end of the session, could hardly run. Possibly just early days and it was pretty warm. Reckon he could lose a few kgs

    I still believe the club will continue to throw him in the midfield at times. Just to add more depth and class going through there. But i like him down back setting us up from behind.

    Speaking of class, i genuinely think he'll develope into Shaun Burgoyne clone for us. Has all the attributes to become a seriously class player us over the journey. 

    Roosy was banging on about him as our Jarrad McVeigh On The Couch toward the end of the season, mentioned it more than once. Highlighted a few of the bits of play you would've been referring to in your earlier post as evidence of slowing the game down and choosing the right option to open up the game.

    Petracca also needed further work on his knee throughout the session telling the Physio "It hurts when I stop moving." 

    Simples .... Keep moving then!

    He is Too heavy for his height, in today's non stop footy. 

    Also, this is not good for his joints, particularly his knees and cartilage's.   Let alone his back health... and ankles.

    Eek, he must miss out on the weighing sessions then, each player is 'advised' what his playing weight should be, some are even stopped doing certain weights to ensure they don't become muscle bound

    Trac was fine when I spoke to him after the session, did what his program said for the session

    Lever was told to 'pull his head in at one point', doing more than he should

    Saty, do the players also have strict "rules" about how much they can do when they are not officially training? For example, if one of the players felt like going for a run, swim or gym session on their day off or early in the day before turning up for work, can they do so?

    Cracker up the r's from the head coach?

    Saty - which group has Fritsch been training with?

    Given he played initially as a forward last year, then went on to the wing, and then to half back, I'm interested in any indication as to where the coaching staff believe he will play this year.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
