Letโ€™s not get carried away just yet with our young blokes - itโ€™s only pre-season training time and the practice matches are still a good few weeks away.

We're allowed. We're reigning premier's and I'm arrogant as [censored] about it now.

Our young players are better then everyone else.

Was the Weed there and if so any comments?

Chook, I hope Weeds can make it but, although showing snippets of form, still cant quite impose as he probably should given his 4 or so years in the system. Did some nice things though๐Ÿ™‚

Interesting comment Dazzle, To me, some of yesteryears recruits were like alluvial gold, but our last 5 years or so are all like " Welcome Nuggets" just waiting to shine๐Ÿคฉ

The Jacob Van Rooyen clunk has me excited. Not only that but his ability to leap over Joel Smith who probably has one of the highest vertical leap at the club. Is it me or did that contested mark remind me of Aaron Naughton? very impressive.

The chest out jump for the ball, clean clunk and the little strut as he got back up reminded me of a young Hogan.

Funny enough my initial thought was Hogan as well. Back when he was a pack marking beast before he turned into a 3rd tall roaming forward who instead skirted the packs instead of jumping at the ball.

I do like Hogan and really hope to see him at his best this year.

Kozzieโ€™s chase-down of Jayden! I replayed that bit several times, at first to make sure it was Jayden, and then ย because itโ€™s a joy to behold. They are all looking so fit and ready to go. Makes me even more excited for the season to start.ย 
#47DaysToGo

To be fair to Jayden the errant bounce provided that little hesitation in his stride while he regathered the ball. Then again, if you choose to bounce the ball in the first 5m and Kozzie's in the vicinity it's an action fraught with peril.

Exemplary work once again Fence. I was unable to pick up Tomlinson and Woewodin in the clip and you haven't mentioned them. Did they participate in the match sim?

Agreed. Iโ€™m confident going into this season however definitely keeping a lid on it.ย 

On a completely unrelated note, I had my tattoo touched up a couple of days agoย

Tomlinson yes and played ok similar to Petty who had there hands full with Forwards. Woey did all but full match Sims

Just copped a hammering here in Berwick, need Gordon Tracey and Thunderbird 4 down here.

Also in Berwick and can confirm our garbage flooded. Thankfully all my Melbourne gear is stored inside the house and is dry.ย

I assume Mayโ€™s hamstring tear is no issue? He completed the full session?ย 
Any ideas why Lever was on a modified program?ย

Me too. At 194cm Van Rooyen will need a decent leap to be a key forward at AFL level (which is small for a key forward these days) and he looks to have excellent judgement/timing.ย 

Josh Kennedy goes okay for 194

Jack Darling is 191 too. Hard to believe given he looks like a clumsy lumbering 200cm forward.

This is a weirdly comforting reminder that, no matter that we're reigning premiers, this is still Demonland.

Unbelievable pick up! One grab mark ,has developed his game and become a better player given his ability to roam far and wide, something Norf never developed him into! Deadly accurate goal kicker, 3 in G F you dont reckon the Norf Brains trust would be absolutely peeesed of at their shocking miscalculation. PLUS WE GOT HIM FOR FREE

THANKS NORF

Well not quite free Fence. For a second round pick which is hardly peanuts given the where the likes of Gawn, Fyfeย  etc have been drafted!

Kozzy just seems like he'll go up another level. Couldn't believe my eyes how he easily ran down Hunt.

To be fair, Hunt had lost control of the ball while bouncing it, and had to check himselfโ€ฆ I donโ€™t think he would have been caught otherwise. Good pace from Kozzy, nonetheless.

Then thereโ€™s Jeremy Cameron at 196cm and Jack Riewoldt at 193cm and many others in the mid 190s who can all mark the pill. It looks as if JVR can hold his own in that department and isnโ€™t going to be pushed off the contest. However, thereโ€™s a lot more to being a well rounded KPP. Timeโ€™s on his side.

Height is not the only factor in marking FT.
Judgement. Leaping ability ( refer to Robby, Bailey Fritsch )ย 

Refer my post on JVR welcome I think.

PS This kid looks something special with his marking elite as part of his game.

The errant bounce I feel was the implied pressure that he was about to get Kozzieโ€™d.ย

He also has no awareness of whats around him, thats the difference between him and Bowey.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
