    What about the unknown player he buried into the turf?

    That would be today's mystery.  (Maybe, Andy, you could run a little book on the side and have a prize for the member who guesses the name of the poor soul buried by the Trac...)

    I am not very good at reporting the drills, find it boring

    Suffice to say most of the drills were similar to those described on Monday

    They did do yet another weird one where they rolled on the ground and another player jumped over them , then laid on tbe ground etc etc  will post a pic, used to do this as part of battle training in the Army 40 years ago

    Oliver annoys me, minding his own business waiting to join in drill, a loose ball bounces behind him,  one handed flicks it over his head, catches and handballs to a player running past all in one motion

    Had a good chat to a guy leaning on the fence, seemed very knowledgeable, it was Jeff Gieschen

    Stand out again Petracca

    There is definite desire to bring more physicality to our game, hence all the solid contact drills

    There is also an emphasis on burst speed, in  the handball driill they are being encouraged to run and also chase of course

    Early days but Trac, Salem, Oliver and Brayshaw ssemed to have increased their leg speed, maybe told to

    Jordon is with the mids if they break up into recognisable grouos

    So I want to take my son this Friday.

    Reading a few reports looks like I should get there around 9 am ? He is only four so I don't want to be hanging around for over an hour of nothing is happening. How long does training usually run for?

    Don’t take the following as gospel.

    The club lists training as starting at 10:30am.

     Our trackwatchers are reporting training starting at 9 and sometimes going for 3 hours. 

     Not sure why the club is saying 10:30am.

    When he was appointed coach at Richmond the slogan was unleash the giesch 

    Ah!  That makes sense!  (Gotta admit my "I'll bite" line was a tad clever retort...!)

    Jordon is with the mids if they break up into recognizable groups

    Also in the handball drill , they must hit the target person on the full, and also the player with ball, must not be able to be touched by a defender.If any of these happens, the ball is turned over to the other side.

    The object of the drill is to handball a goal, and the teams are evenly paired.

    This drill and others are so much more intense than LY.

    Even the match simulation was even numbers per team, and again a mistake meant a side losing the ball

    in another area, others were been showed how to tackle better, by starting lower down when tacking.

    It's good to watch isn't it

    If we can begin to translate this to match day

    Asked the players, they find it really hard work but they are enjoying it

    Interesting. I recall in recent times we were running drills with attackers outnumbering the defence?

    This more intense drilling after 3-4 months should have a Positive affect in games

    It is also a way of getting our players fit

    You can see the players are puffing at the end of the drill

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
