Hey all. Tried my luck this morning down @ Casey. Here's what i saw.

The forwards had the whole oval to themselves... not to sure where the rest of the crew were. Anyways,

The forwards group included:

TMac, Fritsch, Kozzy, Jackson, ANB & Hunt. Harley was there, didn't train, but he was the drill assistant for the session.

Warm Up:

The boys paired up for some laps around the oval; Kozzy / Hunt, ANB / Fritsch while Jackson & Tmac ran solo. There was about a 50m gap between the runners. Slow, steady laps for about 10mins. A game of soccer for 5mins & then a couple of 150m run throughs at about half pace.

Jackson's a glider, Kozzy's quick & Tmac's a robot.

Some kick to kick about 30m apart to round off the warm up.

First drill:

Player in the goal square starts us off. He kicks to a player on the corner of the 50m arc who then kicks to a player at the top of the 50 - He then gathers, plays on & kicks for goal. No real intensity about this drill, boys still moving at about half pace. Lasts for about 10mins. Nothing more to see here.

Second drill:

Group of 4 at the center of the ground with Justin Plapp. 2 at the goal square (1 forward, 1 defender).

Plapp kicks the ball up to 1 of the group of 4, they then run a carry, disposing by handball to each player, with the last chain of the group kicking to the leading forward. The kicker is rotated at each restart.

Tom, Jackson & Hunt mostly leading out from the square. Fritschs' delivery is a standout. Hunt - good hands out in front on the lead. Jackson just glides across the park - Good bounce about him. Kozzy just knows how to play the game. Tom looks stiff... but that's Tom.

Third Drill:

Starting player positioned about mid ground closer to the flank. He gathers a random ball from Harely (ground ball, half volley, on the full etc), who then kicks a 30m kick to a leading half forward who marks 60m from goal. Player then waits for one of the two leading forwards to present. He makes his choice & the forward marks about 35m out from goal. No shots were taken.

Melk appears from nowhere! some light jogs around the oval & then some kick to kick with burgo... but then joins the boys soon after.

Once again, Fritschs' delivery from 60 out to a leading forward is a class above the rest. Low penetrating darts... the others are ok, but they don't penetrate through the air like Bailey's.

All drills where done at about half pace. Aaron Nietschke was doing some runs along the other oval with a couple of the medical boys.

No sign of Weid. Or Brown.

The weather got me outta there before they ended. Happy to answer any questions.

    Should have gone after his brother.

    He may not be playing his best football now (but he was not the worst on Saturday), but your post is just unnecessarily disrespectful of someone who has served this club well and who stuck with the club despite (I assume) lucrative offers from other clubs.

    Perhaps your forum name is appropriate?

    No need to get narky hardtalk. My post wasn’t a reflection on Chunk but on the fact that we had a family connection to a good footballer and apparently didn’t pursue him.

    I am convinced Fritsch is a marking half forward, rather than a permanent deep forward

    He's crafty and win's his share as an isolated target, but his field kicking is very creative and reliable.

    Fritsch on one side as more of a stay at home HFF and Harley on the other roaming as an extra mid.

    Thanks for the report RL. Lets hope Justin Plapp is paid the full award rate for that innovative traing session. First rate stuff.

    The lack of respect for a player who has given his all for a decade and stuck fat when he should have gone elsewhere, is truly pathetic.

    Players are allowed to slow down  towards the end of their career. The malice being shown towards him is completely unnecessary. He has done everything right by our club, and deserves the same back. That includes hero supporters sticking the boot in.

    I don't think pw is saying we should have gone after the younger Jones at the expense of his brother. We could have had both.

    How did you watch training? Behind the fence? Or are you allowed into the stadium?

    As for Zac Jones, yes we should've gone for him irrespective of Nate. I wanted him last off season because of his pace and us having a sever lack of it.

    St Kilda's trades really paid off the other night, but it's just one night.

    I agree. But if he's going to go under the name of "Pinball Wizard" he's going to have to expect people are going to think he's a deaf, dumb, and blind kid.

    Oops, my apology... I misread your comment.  Perhaps it needed a "We..." or "The MFC..." in front, for the benefit of old farts like me ?.

    The crazy thing is that, when Fritta first came to the Club, he was a dead eye di*k in front of goal!  What happened??

    yes, in the dying moments the kick to Langdon into space was critical, which should have resulted in a shot on goal to Thomlinson who had his arms chopped. showed skill and poise.

     

    still at full forward he got the ball in dangerous spots, just didn't convert.

    He is a very instinctual player, at his best when he isn't thinking.

    I think that's why he got caught out a few times as a backmen early last year, too much time to try an manufacture the perfect option

    Judging from this 'recent' training shot? Ball drop could be an issue! Anyway we'll back Bayley to get it right. Just fine tinker the bio-mechanics.

    • 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.
