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.

No Nathan Jones?

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 ?.

 

At some piont did you see Plapp one on one with Fritch practicing set shot routines for goal?? Probably not!

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??

No wind to compensate for at Marvel.

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’s been Melbournised Vagg. Fits in perfectly now!

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.

  • 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.
