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

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

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.

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. 

Yep, incredible he's still so young. Absolute gun.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
