I drove up to Maroochydore Sports complex this afternoon to watch the boys train .Missed the start and Max, Brayshaw and others were not on the oval. 

Jacko trained with the main group trained brightly and appeared unaffected by his hamstring .He may be a chance Saturday night. Harmes and Chunk did 3/4 pace work along the boundary by themselves. 

They worked hard but wouldn't have thought that they would be part of the mix for the Giants. Sparrow and James Jordan did repeat run throughs on their own and dont look far off.

Goody, Salem and Clarry walked the boundary togteher talking in earnest, hopefully about tactics.The assistants took routine drills and all in all the team seemed more up and about then expected.

A word for Neeta .For someone who hasn't played for 2 years and may be delisted at years end he ran laps with the knee bandaged like he was preparing to  play at the Gabba on Saturday.Furthermore he looked in terrific shape.

 I had to leave near to the end as my wife accused me of using a trip to the  Sunshine  Coast as a pretext for watching the Dees train. She got that right.

    You should be getting Goody & Bartlett's salary for the remainder of this year Kallang as a reward for going above and beyond.  Even beyond that of some of the players me thinks!

    Half to the misses might help somewhat to compensate for her suffering and alleviate you of part of yours...at least for a day or two anyway.

    I’m just excited that someone here is allowed out for more than 1 hour and further than 5km from their house.

    No idea if the kid can play given he hasn't made it for even a proper practice game, skills haven't always looked great, but whenever I've seen him he's been an excellent trainer. And this still appears on the club website "As a show of faith, the Demons have promised to give him another chance in 2021, hoping to see the defender reach full fitness and impact at AFL level"

    Did we train really boring?

    A training thread! How I’ve missed the banter between the track watchers who see things totally differently. 

    Good to hear Jacko up and about. If he doesn’t play this weekend and GWS pull the curtains on our finals hopes then put him in cotton wool. The kids a gem and I’d hate anything to happen to him in the last round. 

    @kallangurdemon did you spot Bennell? Careful with the missus!!! The Dees might keep on sending us To Hell and Back, but hell hath no fury! ?

    There was a bit of half ground practice match for those who hadnt played on Monday .Bennell played and kicked a nice goal but never broke out of a trot .Tmac and Hannan were both lively up forward .

    Sorry my brain has turned to mush in the lockdown (maybe due to all the extra grog), who are we referring to here?

    We advised Neeta he would be given another year so he would not rush a program no idea whether main list or rookie. We have plenty of players with exposed form  out of contract that we know are not good enough. In a highly compromised and allegedly shallow draft with limited exposure to players backing in a kid who has worked on his body and been around the club to take a final spot on the list is the right thing to do with limited risk.

    Cheers for that report! Much appreciated.

    Just quietly I would kill to be on the Sunny Coast right now.

    • 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.

      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.
