TRAINING: Wednesday 26th April, 2023

I imagine we will have a very light week on the training track given the short turnaround, and then another interstate trip.

0 stars for the AFL fixturing. First time all year we've had two consecutive games at home all season, and it's coming off a 5 day break. Cheers Gil. 

At least after the bye we only travel twice.

    Spargo stayed firmly on the ground.

    In general that's what I am used to.

    The first quarter against the Swans was a show stopper

    That’s the worry. He has missed a lot of footy, both high intensity training and matches. We need him back but we need him back all guns blazing and playing 4Q of footy. Half fit or limited game time is not what the team needs. I would rather go with a fully fit alternative defender like a Turner than a player not 100 percent ready. 

    Goody clearly stated on the weekend that Salo had had an excellent pre season before his injuries about Round 1 and afterwards.  Yes some fitness would be down but not to use your expressions not "half fit or limited game time". 

    Salo would /should have at least 2 Casey games and not be rushed like last year before he was fully fit and ready. 

    He might be available for AFL straight after the bye if 4 weeks is realistic time for resumption in VFL.

    Goodwin said Salem was a month away. Glad they are going to take their time with him. Need him for the back half of the season. 
     

    3 weeks Gorg but with Goody's 'no risk' policy he might be adding the extra week.

    What's the old Irish saying...

    So Salem is in full training but Goodwin says he's 4 - 5 weeks away, what am I missing? I'd so love a fit Salem at HB for the last 10 weeks of the season

    3 weeks away Roost according to Salo

    He was on light duties.

    The light duties players (Hibbo, McVee, Fritsch) were on the field for about 30 minutes

    Was today full training day?

    Wonder how they had the forward set up? If so was Petty still there working with the forwards?

    No very far from a full training. Just a quick, boisterous run which had a bit more intensity then normal.

    They didn't split into the lines.

    It has been suggested to me that they won't have a main training session this week.

    Next one is the captain's run on Friday, 9.30 am Gosch's paddock. (Probably)

    Thanks Kev and all posters difficult to get any serious training in with a five day break when coming off so much travel and a hard tough Monday night game.!!

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
