Best 22?

Looking forward to your Best 22 Preseason Training 2020 Edition.

In all seriousness though it's impossible to tell at this stage as some players are on modified programs and others haven't even hit the track yet. Patience.

@kev martin   you need to be bit earlier ??? Weid, Petty and Josh Wagner out early 

Marty Hore stood on Spargo's foot

It was Joel Smiths' first main session, probably had a limit

Nietschke did not miss a target when he kicked

Petracca was a standout, I don't care if he grabs his [censored] at the end of his kicking routine, if he maintains this standard

Thanks Saty for the follow up.

I will continue to get there at the advertised time.

If I miss things it can't be helped. Trust in MFC and I will respectfully not comment on training I'm not, as a fan invited to (generally speaking).

Quite often I can be wrong as most of my observations are from a distance and are formed by opinion.

The collision of Charlie and Marty happened right in front of me. Charlie was defending from behind with Marty on the lead, in a loud clash he caused a tangle of the legs. I think he mistimed it with his defensive pressure. He tried running it off and after clutching at his calf he took a knee and the trainer came out. Maybe he over extended his foot but it wasn't trodden on.

Don't ever change what you do Kev, your reports are articulated and at a measured standard. I anticipate reading your reports at every training session.

Agree

Kevs reports are detailed and interesting.

We can also have an opinion on players without him jumping down our throat.

He is what the site has been crying out for, for a long time.

Long may he post.

That's all right gentlemen, I know you can't handle a difference of opinion, you must always be right

@kev martin reports are excellent

Bit more depth than mine, but then again we get a cross section of opinion/observation, isn't that right?

Only thing I don't like, is blokes being derogatory about a players ability, when they have never played at AFL level, at least the player is having a crack at AFL level,  perfect example is Omac, but then again you can post what you like anonymously 

On Spargo, they had his boot off, looking at the top of foot, so not sure

Wow never seen someone get triggered quite easy over a comment that has has nothing to do with them.

And I am sorry, but point out where anyone on this thread has been derogatory towards a player? Everyone is having a fair discussion without being nasty towards a player or poster.

But yet AGAIN you try and make this all about you ya big sook.

Some of us are allowed to enjoys who make fine contribution to training reports and are willing to engage in a mature and healthy discussion. Then there's you.

Let's not derail this thread please.

In fairness to Saty your posts praising Kev's amazing training reports were thinly veiled attacks on Saty.

Was it? Those are some big words you are using for something that's incorrect. I have no issues with his training reports at all. As he has already said he doesn't go into depth like Kev does, but that's fine, some might like that better which is perfectly fine. I like Kevs because he does go into a bit more depth and will call it as he sees it.

What I don't like is that when Kev does say that he will stop reporting training because you have one idiot who has a slight dig at him because he sees things different to him, then he needs to be called out on it. If @kev martin decides to stop reporting training on this board purely on the back of someone having a crack for looking at it in a different lenses then that'll be it for me. 

Not everyone has to see training in the same context as Saty you know...

Again, I am not here to derail a training report. I am happy for all contributions that are done in training reports whether that's saty or kevs. Especially when I am based in Albury and can't get down at all.

So if one of us played at afl level it is ok to make derogatory comments about players? I would consider that just as bad

Oh for heaven’s sake we want all observations from anyone who attends training sessions! We want information, it will always be subjective and most of us work out the regular reporters style and preferences. What we crave is content. By the way I get there every now and then but don’t report too often because Saty and Kev have it all covered and I must admit I don’t pick up the detail they do.

Could not agree more. I'm based up in Qld and appreciate ALL reports be they from Saty, Kev or someone else. I take their respective views on training as beneficial and those people that wish to bag Saty and anyone else that give us these reports are just LITTLE ignorant people and should get the hell out of here. 

People, please just take the reports as is and kindly not bag the reporter or one day you will not get any reports on training. Then you willl winge big time.

As a fellow Banana bender I concur wholeheartedly. Travel reviews are different strokes from different folks as are restaurant reviews but we are far richer for the variety of content than ONE solo scribe.

Keep the stories  and  the facts coming at the end of the day we will read into it our way but thank you so much for the on the  spot nature and depth of content.

    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

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
