Training in 10’s

With the training for clubs about to go up to groups of 10, would you:

Train in line groups (forwards, backs, midfielders)

Train in groupings (3 forwards, 4 mids, 3 backs)

Or something else??

Considering our two greatest needs will be connection between lines (especially Mids to the forwards) and cohesion in line groups, I would suggest we probably need a mix of both.  Are we allowed to mix and match?

    well the traditional methods haven't suited us well so I'll go for option 2 (train in cross groups).

    My logic is that the others in the group may learn more about the playing style of their team mates. Length of kick, sides of body,leading patterns etc.

    The downside of course is that each group will only have one coach so which one gets the forward coach etc??

    What a way to have to go about it, 10 at a time for a sport that essentially needs all 22 players on the same page and have built up confidence/trust in each other.

    This was TV in WA, the AFL has squashed it until all teams in different states have the same ability to train to the same standard.  Even playing field.

    I would be happy to see training televised.

    I might be wrong about this but I was under the impression that even in the training in 10's model there is still no equipment allowed to be shared, this includes a footy. I could be completely wrong on that though.

    Not like the NRL, then, where training involves the sharing of hookers and coke.....

    Not even sharing the footy - i suppose that they could all hand sanitise before and after??  Like I handle the shopping trolleys at Coles with 1500 other shoppers and have to use good hygene to make that work?  I’m sure the rules will be clarified before they are allowed out to train.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
