    Full length ground drill starts with a kick to a one on one contest. If the ball spills a player swoops in and 4 players run down the field almost in a line and kick to a contest at the other end and the drill begins again the other direction. 

    Our game plan in a nutshell.

    In case I’ve never mentioned this before Kozzy is just a magician. He scooped the ball up in a one on one ground contest, broke out of a tackle with a nice don’t argue, kicked beautifully into Chandler ona lead who was spoiled in a marking contest but got the spill and handballed to Kozzy who had continued to gut run down the field and had every right to have a shot for goal on a tight angle but he kicked it in board to a free Trac who snapped truly.

    I know that Ben Brown and TMac have been in great form and are almost undoubtedly around 1 starters but I can’t see how Van Rooyen doesn’t get a call up either. He is a natural forward with great hands and a superb ground ball game. 

    Can we possibly trial 3 talls again? It didn’t work with Weid in the Mix but Van Rooyen is a different beast. 

    Great conundrum to have.

    Howes is a very smart clean footballer. Was in trouble in the wing and thought his way out of the situation. Granted there is not really tackling in this drill but he had a player in front and no options forward and managed to spot a player backwards and found the option. Got kudos from players and coaches around him.

    It is really 4 talls with Gawn & Grundy though. And if Fritsch is fit, we are already playing 3.5 talls.

    For match sim (apart from Salem, Dunstan, Fritsch, Melksham and Woewodin mentioned earlier) - Adams, Brown and J Smith sat it out.

    I see Essendon are taking 35 up to Gold Coast for 6 x 25. I guess we also play that number on Friday?

    The way Schache has been training at every session I have been to and from anecdotal evidence from other trackwatchers and from talking to some players at the player sponsor it is hard to see him not pushing for selection. Granted he will probably have to prove himself at Casey but I think we will definitely see him at some point in the season.

    Don't see why JVR couldn't play Melksham's role up forward.

    He could but remember that Melksham was playing TMac's role when he was injured.

    That’s a wrap from me. I’ll compile all my posts later on and add a few other observations too.

    Think he will be in the Team, but won't start on the ground.

    TMac and JVR are not 200cm KPF players.  They're not much taller than Fritsch.   They are the size of Cripps and a few other on ballers.  They are very mobile and can attack the ball on the ground.   Can't see why they can't all play.

    Your right Stinga they are more med talls at 6’4” and both very mobile, Fritta and Seston 6’2” ers, we now have a really good spread of talls and will be able to stretch oppo teams at times.!!

    As a matter of interest, are you using a colloquial expression to mean Verral is rucking against Gawn and being beaten badly or that Gawn is actually teaching him properly?

    What Verral picks up from Max will be worth it's weight in gold.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
