    Maybe if they pick him it would help convince Kozzie that the MFC is the place to be for his future.

    How is that first name pronounced? Like Peter Pius Paul (otherwise known as Crackers) "Keenan"? Or something that rhymes with "my man"?

    I’d bring him in for that alone.

    Way too early reaction:
    Adams - big forearms, he’ll end up a solid lad
    Sestan - 5 days and 1 training session in and he’s already looking leaner and more like an afl player
    Jefferson - not quite big buckets but he gets a lot of purchase with his fingers around that footy, good size mits
    Verrall - decent shoulders, probably the most developed of the young talls

    A wintery morning, coldish and windy. Great morning for the time trials, headwinds on one side and a tail on the punt rd side.

    Clarry smashed it. Goody was over the moon, they embraced several times. He is set for a ripper. Looking thin, nearly wirey. He is also showing some leadership qualities.

    Others out front were Adam Tomlinson, he was in a different group to Clayton but gee, beat Tmac by at least 25 metres. ANB caught the front group.

    Some bad news, Hibbo was having difficulty with his Achilles, left training.

    Petracca was the only one missing.

    So many new players out there. Here are some new numbers, 6 Grundy, 12 Hunter, 19 Schache, 26 Jed Adams, 28 Verral, 33, 38, 39, 43 (Burgoyne?), 45, 46 Sestan, 47 Jefferson and 47 Farris-white. Plenty of train ons.

    Clarry has the hair bun. Langdon has crewed. Salem white.

    After the time trials, they got into their boots, and it began.

    Competitive right from the start. Into two stations, two players competing for position as the ball is thrown in the air, the other was soft tackling as the front player picks up a ground ball. Moved into three stations, short kicks, and the other two I can't remember. They transitioned to handball games with 6 on two in bibs. They then went to two stations, a sim with minimal tackling, (Hunter caught my eye with great outside run and kicks to advantage, Kossie and Sparrow as well). The other was a hard tackling handball game in restricted space. The tackler was not brought to the ground, but was expected to break and get the handball (plenty of noise as they prove to each other their shimmy and ability to stand up).

    They went to their lines. Looks like TMac is with the back-line, as is Woewodin, and Salem stay there as well. Tomlinson doing some work with the rucks and the back-line.

    Forwards bringing the ball to ground and snapping.

    Some mids and forwards kicking down an alley, with a camera under the supervision of Williams for goal.

    They then got their runners on again and hit up 10, 150 metre, in under 20 sec sprints.

    Deakin Smith, and Moniz-wakefield, Verral, and Adams on a modified program.

    Grundy and BBB working together in their individual program.

    They have moved a gym under the shed where Joel Smith and Angus Brayshaw did light duties and were joined with some of the new players.

    There may have been some drills I missed, it was a long session and with so many players out, there it was hard to follow. 

    Addit, had a good look at Farris-white kicking when on the run and it was ok, hit lots of his targets. @Tim

    Trent Burgoyne:

    2019 (draft year): no games due to hammy issues, rookied 

    2020: covid year, port didn’t play in the sanfl 

    2021: 5 games, averaged 6.8 disposals. Delisted 


    2022: played 10 matches, averaged 10.6 disposals, 2.8 tackles and kicked 2 goals 

    He’d be a pretty bold selection based on that. Started to go in the right direction this last season but before that had 3 years of nothing

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
