Training is on today Wednesday and it's bloody freezing    pics tomorrow or late tonight

Lots of ball movement by hand and foot again

Lever made an appearance just knocking off the rust

May and Jetta again out 'rehabbing'

    Send some of that cold weather up here to Brissie Saty. Bloody hot, windy and smokey.

    Why is May in "rehab"? Is it because as a senior player he isn't meant to be in "full" training yet or is there some other issue?

    Both he, Nev and Nietschke participated in some of the drills, so rehab is just a word

    With the soft tissue injuries he had last season I am glad he is building up slowly, although at the end of the session he was doing 50 metre repeat sprints flat out

    In the video he looks exhausted after a 30 sec jog...  Looks dejected: on haunches, head on hand, looks up, grimaces, head in hands...

    Probably a PTSD flashback to last season.

    But he didn’t spew, so he’s not training hard enough.  Who else wants to write to the club and demand more?

    Looks leaner than last year. That will do me. If he remains uninjured all year that's a win showed in the few games he played how good he can be for us

    I'm happy he's out there training and moving well, I don't care if he's still a long way from peak fitness as long as his base is good enough to get through the summer healthy, but geez our media team know how to make our players look bad.

    Agreed.  I thought it was an odd video to put on line.  It only raises doubts, especially after last year's exaggerated claims about his fitness on start of pre-season.  Would have preferred a video of the repeat 50m sprints, flat out, as Saty described.

    I'm amused by the anxiety demonstrated by quite a few posters on May's general condition. He's here, he's training, he looks to be in reasonable nick. Some blokes put on a few kg's easier than others (eg Buddy... going back further "Wilson" Pickett). Its only injury that I worry about when it comes to blokes who have already had significant AFL careers. On track for a very good season is Mr May!

    The video guy was a 'late' arrival, that is May at the end of 100 minute training session

    It's not enough.

    I want to see him repeat sprinting through quicksand with a tractor tyre under each arm while singing Grand Old Flag in E minor.

    AFL have just posted an article about him. He’s gone full “Namaste” and incorporated Pilates and yoga into his pre-season. Which is a big step up from pizza n’ pints. Seems very determined to get himself right.

    sounds like Dusty did. I expect him to win a brownlow, a premiership and attempt to stab someone with a chopstick.

    I hope that is not the result of one 50.

    He does look leaner.

    From that video May is looking good. Def leaner. Good signs. 

    Gee I hope he can get through 22+ games this year. The media are all over him waiting/hoping for any little failure.

    All the best Maysie. Prove your worth. Due some luck. Can play.

    I liked the way he seemed to glide along at a fair pace for the sustained distance.

    There appeared to be no jarring or heavy compression.

    While he did seem fatigued that wasn't too bad for a training run. It was probably more sustained than most reality chases,and it's better that he builds up the repetitions with shorter recovery periods as we get closer to game time.

    Nice work for a big unit.

    Well really he isn't required to be there until next week, so looks pretty good when you consider it was at the end of the session like the report said. He will be a big asset 2020.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
