    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).

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
