That is a serious looking brace.Hope he's got enough weight on the other arm to compensate. He might overbalance.

head tilt will compensate.

 

Remedial kick time.

Defenders kick to kick around the arc.

Small forward snaps.

Forwsrd entries for plenty.

petty, Brown, Preuss, Tomlinson, Viney doing 2 v 1 make a decision and kick short or medium

Langdon, Sparrow, Vanders picking up in the middle, giving a fend and trying to hit a lead up forward coming at them. 

Nice to see drills tailored for individual players

Saw him walking towards the Tan earlier and then later he was standing around in the cordoned off players and staff area on the AAMI Park side of the ground. Doesn’t appear to be doing any work with the rehab group today. 

So he’s not exactly training the house down.

He trained a balsa wood carport down.

 

Seems to me that today’s training isn’t the full blown thing but more of a PR exercise given players away at Jake Melksham’s wedding and others in rehab etc.

Does anyone know if Harley Bennell’s going up to Maroochydore as he presumably won’t be taking part in any intense training. Wouldn’t it be better to remain here to do the limited work he’s doing under his current circumstances?

I hope his own opinion of how he is going is helping decide about the camp.

Could he possibly have a trip home to WA? He missed Christmas at home(WA) in his positive attitude to get back onfield and give it his best shot. I just hope he feels fully embraced by the club as he goes through the highs and lows of recovery.

I would have thought that if we had any notion of signing him up, he should be going to Maroochydore. One of the great aspects of the Qld training camp is the bonding that occurs - and IMV would be worth going for that alone.

In addition, wouldn't all the medical staff (docs, physios, etc) also be at the camp? If so, his recovery may be better managed if he's where the support staff are.

Absolute best thing for Harley will be when season starts and fans and media are not interested in him and he can just get on with it.

Brayshaw’s arm in a serious brace.

The arm is a trial. Pretty soon all limbs will be similarly fitted so that Goody can remotely control from the coaches box (or the bunker)! Look forward to all players running out for Round 1 if it proves a success.

With so many best 22 on wedding duties it seems, it was interesting to watch the rest, in particular the newbies. 
         First thing I was looking at were general ball-handling skills. For mine, the clear standouts are Salem, Jetta and Fritsch. A gap, then Petracca, Oliver, OMac, Petty, May, Lever, Hore (all just natural ball players). A negligible gap to the rest, and nobody stood out as being below par for an AFL list. Skills were very pleasing, but then today’s conditions are perfect.
          Work-rate, or just general effort, I would say Viney, Petracca, Nibbler, Jetta, Jordon, Sparrow (keen as), who all seem to push that bit harder for longer. Again, no player was lacking in energy or output. 
           Most pleasing difference to last year is seeing Vanders at full tilt, same for Lever, OMac as most physically impressive of the big boys (aside from Tomlinson), Preuss looking ripped,  Viney out front of every running drill, Weid seeming to own his size, the effortless, innate ball skills of newbies Jackson and Rivers, Spargo looking sharp and slippery (until he departed), the easy pace of Langdon, and a general sense of competitive urgency, despite that it was only training. 
        A fit, available list is the primary essential for success over a season, so we’re looking in very good shape for the opening. Fingers crossed.

These are my most pleasing aspects of this preseason too.

Would be amazed if this adversely influenced his season start. Looks in great nick otherwise. 

The training session was pretty cruisy. The first thing i noticed is how slim all of the players are. Obviously forgoing strength for a gain in speed which was necessary as we were slow as f$%k last year. jetta looks in great shape, as does Petracca. Everyone else just looks slim. 

One of the drills was the players doing 4 or 5  backwards somersaults on the ground then getting up dazed to tackle a player. I thought it was a stupid drill and at what point in the history of our game has a player been required to do that. Oliver was basically passing out from either lower blood pressure or being dazed. not a good look i front of all of the kids but more importantly a stupid drill. Could have spent that time doing goal kicking practice. 

Rivers, runs well but his kicking needs a lot of work.  Jackson was unsighted in all of the match sim stuff so we need to temper our expectations on him. 

Joel Smith was playing defence. Personally i think he is better forward but regardless he needs to be in the team as we are simply too slow otherwise.

Pretty much noticed the same Webber. Thought Salem, Jetta and Viney were the standouts during the match sim. Salem and Jetta were especially clean with ball, the former looking really good running from half back and through the centre/wing delivering the ball flawlessly.  

On the negative side, J Smith had a couple of costly turnovers with no pressure from defence, noticed he was cursing himself afterwards. Kicking needs improvement from what I saw. 

The session would have been close to 3 hours? We arrived at 9:30 and they were already out there. A great turnout by supporters also.

Same here. 3mnths for me and still have little strength in arm...I'm maybe 2.5x Brayshaws age....

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
