Who’s the player with the moustaka in the black jumper with about 10 secs to go?

Bedford

As mentioned by Goodoil below - it could be Lockhart!

Is it just me or does Fritsch look a bit like Brad Green from that clip? Probably plays similar to him too. 


I was amused at the little smiles when they realised the camera was there and by the various ways used to dodge 'eye contact' with it: Look away.  Head down.  Eyes straight ahead.

Petracca, Salem,  Lever and ANB seem to have spent their time in the US visiting and training at different high performance venues across the country.  Definitely don't seem to be taking it easy.

(also shows ridiculous money in the US 'College' system.)

 

FYI: The college Gridiron players do not get paid but their school scholarships form part of their inducement to play to a high standard.

As an aside the Ohio Buckeyes who I follow over here average 105,000 per game.

KK was not there, or AVB unless early, Weid was out early for a quick sesh

Smith and Nietschke in rehab

Dunkley didn't do much

Gawn, Tommy Mc there

Preuss' body shape from last year unrecognisable, dropped a few kilos

Oliver looking in great shape, cruised through the session

Firsr 3/4 of session was ball movement

New Burgess inovation, interval running, used to do this years ago in military, walk 25 , jog 25, sprint 25 around the oval, gets muscles used to doing the same , great for endurance surprisingly

Any concerns about Tommy Mc alleviated,spent 10 minutes at end, running full pace down middle of oval from end to end

Gawn also motored around the oval a couple of times at the end, as per the norm these days, looks in immaculate condition

All the 'young' boys,  nobody looked underdone

A point, Omac (for all the haters) looked really sharp for first session

Hard to kick to the opposition when they aren't there

KK was definitely there.

On the field?

He was in the video the Dees released but might be doing weights in the gym.

Yep, to clarify he just returned to the club as per the video, not sure about training on ground.

Not just you.

I've always thought there's a bit of Brad Green about Fritsch.

Particularly the lead up mark inside 50, and his kicking style.

Thanks Saty. I've lost track of time. Is Oliver still one of the young players who were all expected back today or has he turned up voluntarily?


Olivers debut was in 2016. This means he is included in the 1st 4 year players.

25 metres or 25 secs?

Thanks for the report.

Thanks Saty

This is very much what I did not want to hear. Joel Smith has by all accounts and pictures become super fit. So why is he is re-hab?

AVB has been out for such a long time, why wouldnt he be chaffing at the bit to make a return if he was fit?

Kade was seen entering, does this means he is not up to taking part in physical field training?

Not particularly asking you Saty and I know it is MFCSS but this is 4 out of 4 I was most interested in. It really changes my expectations.

Edited by Damo

The session started way before 10 so AVB KK Petty may have been out early  I got there at 10 and group was already out

Smith and Nietschke may be ready to go, but assume they test them out

It's possible that KK & AVB are not required to train today due to not being in the 1st to 4th years bracket and hopefully they're doing weights or some cardio in the gym.

Joel Smith still in rehab is a big worry.

Thanks for the report Saty, a couple of queries if you get the chance

Who was leading the coaching when they were doing the ball movement with Goodwin and Richardson away and McCartney and Rawlings gone?

Did you see anything that suggested who the coach looking after the forwards may be?

What were they focusing on in the ball movement drill, defensive 50 to forward 50, delivery from forward half into the 50? 

 

 

Initially was full of praise reading Oliver showed up. 

Then realised he's still actually in the 1st-4th year group!

Good, lord that guy's a gun.

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
