    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...!)

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
