Half the team begin with goal kicking some defenders at the other end and the rest are in the rooms.

It 's a big squad on Gosh's.

 The lankier bodies are put through angle changing run through as the stocky type are using bands to restrict run.

Lever in rehab.

Neville Jetta in main squad as is Michael Hibberd.

Christian Pettraca appeared a Little proppy.

An all in drill of moving ball by hand looked great. Clean and precise ball use.

The simulations nearly full contact. With a lot of niggle from the defenders. The simulations finished with the forwards and backs (Rawlings setting up well), in the fifty and the midfield on the wings or centre, competing for ball and connecting as the coaches instruct.

The final drills were angle changing sprints, some rugby style ball movement and tackling and the one on one contested mark.

Oscar Baker had a light training session.

Simon Goodwin working with the small halfbacks, spoils, hand and body positioning.

There was also plenty of peer assistance to the younger players from Jack Viney, Jordan Lewis and Max Gawn.

Overall, a long hard training in beautiful full sun of a Melbourne winter.

    Inside info @Lord Nev?

    Unfortunately not, just usually a dead giveaway if you see them getting super excited for someone on a Thursday so was hoping Kev might have been able to word us up.

    Goody said he wasn't far away in an interview, which might explain the interest.

    Brendan McCartney says we will win the next six.

    Braydon Preuss ran out with the second group. He looked a little nervous though up. Missed a few snaps and ground ball gets.

    Thought JKH a chance and Michael Hibberd to play.

    Didn't notice anything about Dunkley

    Hey @kev martin was Macca out on the track watching/interacting with the players?

    Yes he was. There is no obvious change to the coaching to an outsider except that Rawlings is prominent as the forward coach.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.
