Training yesterday 26/4

Swung by training yesterday at 3pm for the session and her where some observations:

-The group seemed in great spirits but focused.

-The session was fairly light with a lot of short tactical drills used.

-Brad Green walked perhaps 10 laps then headed inside

-Neitz participated for about 45 minutes but was running about 60% speed/capacity. He didn't pull up proppy but seemed at times to be messaging his knee with his hand every no and then. Should be right for Port Adelaide though.

-Rivers, Moloney and Johnstone all looked fit as a fiddle.

-Petterd trained FANTASTICALLY. Wanted to get into everything and anything.

-Garland is raw but lead well against Warnock, marked well and has a sizeable and accurate kick.

-Buckley too got involved-looks great and is physically strong and quick but needs to work on his kicking and awareness of play.

-Byron will get better with every week.

-Jared Rivers seemed in fantastic spirits toi the point where it was infectious on everyone.

-As it stated in the Herald Sun this morning, the boys did a group huddle in the centre square just before they started the session, screaming out numbers as they ran on the spot.

-Whelan and Jones did not show at all.

That's about all I can remember. If anyone has any questions i'll do my best to answer.

Also forgot Sylvia looked fantastic. In Several drills they played him at full forward and he looked super fit-quick of the lead and great marking. Across the whole session though he looked 100%

HIS TIME IS NOW.

Also forgot to say that Lynden Dunn aslo trained really well. The forward skill sets they were doing all revolved around him and my word, he looked a ripper.

Strong overhead, didn't drop a mark, every kick and handball hit its target.

He had a steely resolve, like he knows he will play every game this season.

And I hope he does.

did you see the opening minute of last sundays game occo??

davey got the ball in the centra square, and kicked a goal from there!!

if he and yze swap between the flank and the pocket, they can both create goals from either distance

Good news regarding Sylvia. Hopefully he can string some games together and show us all what he made of :D

Also great to hear Rivers in good spirits. Him, TJ and Moloney will all be very valuable inclusions back into the side. Petterd getting amongst it. Good luck to the youngster this weekend.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    2024 Player Reviews: #10 Angus Brayshaw

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
