Have the boys been training this week?  Or, just resting on their laurels after their big win on the weekend?

Or, are all our track watchers exhausted?

The silence has been deafening!

The boys (the players not the Trackwatchers) have been out in the community visiting schools as part of the Marsh Community Series. Having said that I would assume that is as a supplement to training and not instead of.

So, presumably our faithful trackwatchers have all retreated to the pub..!  Might be time you gave them a good dressing down, Andy, as they are letting the team (us) down!

 

I rode passed Gosch’s this morning and no one to be seen although Melbourne Victory we’re setting up.

According to Vagg he is at the pub.

I was thinking the same thing. Won the first preseason match of the year.  Job done, pack it up boys.

I can't recall from previous years, are in season training days the same as preseason?

With games now on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday I think training is now a movable feast. 

 

I swung by for a brief time late Monday morning. Only a handful still there.Gawn, Brayshaw, Hannan, C Wagner and Chandler completing some fairly serious repetive 100m run thoughs.

Bennell was basically alone but fortifying to see him really striding out along the wing with numerous repeat efforts followed by multiple raking 50+ metre drop punts to one of the fitness staff. All class.One can live in hope!

Thanks, Martin!  Appreciate whatever morsels you guys can throw us!


The secret opposition scott was out watching a secret closed session, but  his Cover was exposed, and got his [censored] kicked by Matthew Whelan.

Petracca is training the house down. HB could be anything.

May turned up looking like a footballer.

Do we have a whipping boy yet this year?

Oscar or Weid i’m guessing.

Weid is just edgeing out OM at the moment.

Weid got 20+ touches playing in the ruck and is smashed on here. 

Frost is spotted in Hawthorn colors and Omac gets whipped on here. 

It's not great.

Hope? Not for me.

He really does have these great skills and I see him using them in the red'nblue to our great advantage; currently, he is just in a 'refresher' mode at present after re-energising his commitment to football. I'd just like to think that he is relishing and enjoying his new home, and the dwellers within. Recuperation is past, it was just in a timeframe outside the end of one season and the beginning of another. He's going to shock the naysayers and us, as well.

Agree, he has a contract, the whole club behind him, proper rehabilitation, everybody just keeping a lid on

I also noticed the highlight reel for Kade Chandler - this is the first time I have seen him in the jumper.

I recognised quite a bit about his game, albeit a reel of 'seconds' football or two, nothing in the senior team as yet. Still, my recognition, amongst his peer group of opponents - and with his interaction with teammates, particularly up forward  - is distinct in my mind to be very similar to that of Leigh Matthews early on. Except, he has greater pace, is a more accurate kick for goal and seems to run on with the ball in good opportunities up forward. 

I hope these qualities are being nurtured, and can be seen more easily by regular viewers of his performances to date.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
