Windy, cold, minimal rain.

    Squad is out,  first on is Daisy.

    Lots of noise then the whistle brings them to the line.

    Last in is Katy Hore.

    Duffy only helping, Colvin one on one kicking, and Fitzsimons rehabbing. Fitz has now joined the squad. Perhaps just a test.

    Finished the warm ups with a competitive relay.

    They want to win! 

    They split in half. One half play a two team frisbee game and the others kicking drills, then they swap.

    They are now playing a half field game, one team is the coaches and assistance in the bibs.

    Seems mainly about finding a connection with the forwards.

    Into two squads again. This time playing more back-line transition through the centre to a forwad. While the other one drills starting on the wing.

    Roffey and a few administrators also in attendance.

    They finished up with a chat and some social games, like paper/scissors/rock, in the centre of Gosch's Boisterous, happy and in it together. 

    Oops not quite finished,  they go into their lines (forward, back, mids) and do more drills. Perhaps not exact  with lines as they are a bit mixed.

    Shelley Heath was not with the main squad.

    Hoping she is fine. Was moving well when doing some one on one with Stinear.

    The impression I got from tonight's training was how supportive they are of each other, their competitive nature, with a strong will to win, even the little stuff.

    I liked how Libby Birch and Tayla Harris compete and then discuss skills with each other.

    Karen Paxman, with her warrior bandage works hard and trains with enthusiasm and ego.

    Daisy does so much talking and giving to others.

    Hanks, Purcell and Mithen run very hard, always backing up and finding their way to the next contest.

    Bannan does well below her kness and creates turnovers with pressure, always hunting the ball.

    Zanker works hard up and down the field, making space and causing her defender to struggle as she leads back into the goal kicking area. 

    Goldy and Mackin have a very professional approach, intention to get better.  

     After most had left the field, they drilled Fitzsimons roving from the ruck of Lauren at stoppage to snap goals.

     I also noticed Brown working one on one with a coach. She has a beautiful kick, and hands (taking a mark).

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
