    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
