    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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
