The scoreboard is out, and they are in either blue or red jumpers.

Maybe a morning for an extensive sim/trial match.

Gawn v Grundy.

Beautiful kicking action by Jefferson

Reminds me so much of Jacks Watts with that action. 

He had a very fluent and simple action. Kicked some real clutch goals over his career.

Haven’t noticed Oliver, Petracca and Hunter, just about everyone else accounted for.

Petracca here!

J Smith striding out in rehab. BB taking lots of shots on goal after session marking in goal square v Stafford

Younger players tending to float short passes to leading forward (D Smith, 33, 39, KF-S) while Petracca, Viney, Kossie, ANB shoot hard and low bullets

Harmes, Verall, & Adams doing agility, ball handling

JVR stand out in team pressure ball carrier/ break free / handball to outside runner activity. He is quick, follows up, sure by hand

Kossie un-tackleable in same activity

Watching full length competitive Blue v Red, using all but Punt Road flank. Kossie brilliant midfield to forward… golden moment when he confronted Viney, bounced off him with ball and nailed a 50 metre kick to Harmes

Petracca now dominant. Seeing much more of Max than Grundy. First fumble by JVR. Howes marking and kicking well. 

Sparrow impressive in one of the handball / kick forward groups

Hibberd contesting well, Brayshaw so laconic… lacking precision, no one is worried!

Full ground sim now. JVR reads ball better and snaps a goal v May & Lever

Schache marks in front of Lever. McDonald has been very good in everything this morning. Big Max brings Kossie to ground with a strong tackle. Jefferson’s pass to Seston off!

Haven’t seen Petty for quite a while! Ed doing what Ed does! Beautiful pass by Viney to Schache, who is prominent close to goal

Match sim was so exciting to watch… speed ball taken to the next level! Boys back in small group skill activities, which are a bit boring by comparison (but essential of course!) It’s 11:10 and I’m about to check out…

If I was picking 23 on today’s training…

Max, Petracca, Viney, Langdon, Kossie, McDonald, Fritsch, JVR, Rivers, May, Harmes, ANB, Schache, Howes, Sparrow,  Lever, Brayshaw, Hibberd, Melksham, Jordan, Dunstan, Spargo, Grundy

I arrived in Vic yesterday and here until 24th. Hope to get to Melbs for a look before returning home. 🔴🔵

Appreciate any insights from todays attendees. 💪


COMPILATION OF ALL OF DEELIGHTFULLPLAY'S POSTS FROM TRAINING

Had a few drill stations going when I arrived late.  

Good to see some of the seniors, like Melky, providing guidance to the new boys like Kyah.

Burgoyne has joined in some of the drills and might be off rehab.

Burgoyne now joining the agility training and Harmes off to the main group

Kossie caught a nice short chip in from the side then kicked off - doubled back and intercepted once it was turned over.  Looking dynamic in the pack

Splitting up into different groups again, match sim done.  One group set up for the handball game drill - if there is a turnover then the group opens up and practises a long kick goalwards (with Harmes marking)

Viney scooped up a ground ball, broke out of a tackle and ran into space before beautiful kick forward

Some final observations of the match sim (unfortunately I had to leave):

Harmes weaving before kicking a low goal. 

Spargo fairly active and involved.  Lingers did a short chip to Spargs who moved into the space.  Ed later positioned himself down the line nicely as usual

Tomlinson fumbled and course corrected with kick to ChandlerChandler dropped but had a good second effort back.  However reds put the pressure on and Kossie in particular was strong with tackle and attempted smother

Jed and Verrell running laps, Burgoyne and someone else doing short runs on the other side.

No ground ball work, removed inaccuracy

Petty on laps. Haven’t seen Oliver or Hunter. BBB not in the main drill. Gus is. Harmes in the green hat playing full forward.

Full ground match sim drill with a focus on moving the ball as fast as possible.

Spare man in white bib going both ways.

When it was Tracc it was humming.

Since then it’s been Laurie - less humming as he hunted wide for kicks and didn’t power both sides, and Kossie - quick but more chaotic 

Lever very busy.

Schache (playing on grass) looked great until he was spoiled by Bowey

JVR loves an untimely fumble but he’s like a Labrador out there, just involved in everything 

That last set really belonged to Blake Howes. Probably had 8 touches in 5 minutes. Spoiling/out marking talls, lacing kicks, linking up. 

The match sim with even numbers started really ugly, it was pretty much a lowlight reel of last years end of season.

Couple of Woey turnovers off half back. JJ stagnating with the ball. Melksham getting run down. ANB getting it at half forward then getting run down by Melksham!

Fritsch was the meat in a Sparrow and one other big collision. He had to go off but came back on. Tracc was tended to at the next break. Then Tommy Mc (who was racking up touches) was having his knee assessed.

Gawn reads the ball in the air so much better than Grundy. But Grundy did get on the lead once or twice.

Once fatigue opened it up a little the ball started to move end to end with some nice passages of play.

Personally id like to have seen the coaches pause it at the start and redirect the focus on how to play uptempo against elite pressure. Ie. More switching, more movement, more handball link ups (all the small drills they’ve been training before the match sim)

Pickett was busy through the midfield. Viney seemed to be playing more on a flank.

Sestan had a few kicks pushing toward the wing/half back from a half forward start. He laced perfectly weighted kicks to T Mc and Grundy and a lovely inside ball to Petracca that set up a scoring opportunity. 

He looked completely spent after every repeat effort. I wonder if a haircut and training in a white hat rather than a dark hat would help a little! But if he can develop as an athlete the skills are there.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’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.
