I do enjoy that the Club updated the website but couldn't check their calendar haha

Hopefully someone down at training can give a May update and whether he looks like he'll be ok for next week, or whether it's multiple weeks.

I’m at Gosch’s. 

Only Jack Viney on the track with one of the trainers who is belting balls into him at close range. Viney has no strapping on his knee. 

[Demonland 72,230]

May is here. Walking onto the field. Has a slight limp. 

[Demonland 72,230]

May is in runners and training tshirt (not jumper). Looks like only named players training (Captain’s Run). Will keep you updated as to what May does or does not do. 

[Demonland 72,230]

Of the 4 Emergencies only Melksham is here. (So far). 

[Demonland 72,230]

Viney heading back to the rooms. He was doing some longer kicks before he left and he and the trainer seemed happy. Reckon he plays next week. Otherwise Rd 3 vs Swans. 

[Demonland 72,230]

Yep definitely only Melksham of the 4 named Emergencies. I’d say he’s a certainty for the Sub. 

[EMDE 44]

May walking very awkwardly on the right leg. No strapping but nowhere near running. 224

[Demonland 72,230]

May assisting with training throwing the ball to players. Not moving all that well. No strapping but noticeable limp  

I can’t see him playing next week.

Getting in early for 2024 when 15 March will be on a Friday? Or perhaps you're recycling a post from 2019.

[Demonland 72,230]

Very light training sessions (Captains Run). Drills are short and sharp. 

[Demonland 72,230]

May doing some kick to kick with Selwyn Griffiths now. Short and low 25m kicks. Now extended to higher 40m kicks. 

[EMDE 44]

Only selected side at training but interestingly no Jordon, Hibbo or JVR

[Demonland 72,230]

Looks like one of the TV stations camera men are here filming May so I’m sure we’ll see some vision later today.

Yep. Melksham will be the Sub. 

[Demonland 72,230]

May now kicking to Griffith 50m from out of the square.

Adds weight to the argument that McDonald could be moved during the game to the backline if needed.

[Demonland 72,230]

They’re finished that now. May walking very gingerly.

Has Casey a practice match against Footscray today? The 3 players mentioned may be playing this afternoon with Melksham as the sub tomorrow night?

[Demonland 72,230]

Split up into two separate groups doing the same drill on opposite sides of the ground. 6 on 3 keepings off hand ball drill culminating in kicking to a lone forward in the square. Lone forwards have been Brown, Gawn, Grundy, TMac and Melksham.
