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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
