They're looking great. Drills fast and clean, all are boisterous and going.

TMac, L.Bailey and D.Turner in the squad.

Fritta is doing his own program away from the others.

Chandler has light strapping above his left knee. He is moving unrestricted. 

They've had a few gather rounds, group talking, etcetera. 

The ball movement when going from backline to forwards was beautiful. 

Finished with goal kicking and talls doing some marking and the small backs having a discussion with Chaplin.

Sparg's and Petty doing some run throughs over on the soccer pitch.  Petty went over and had a chat with the squad and Chandler training.

The squad spent about 50 minutes out there.

Thanks again Kev

Any sign of Harmes?

How did Clarry look?  Looked pretty off/spent at last week's run (for obvious reasons).

If Fritta is out does TMac or Laurie come in?

Didn't see Harmes. 

When kicking for goal, Clarry looked super concentrated, otherwise not doing too much, and a bit low key when drilling.

Fritsch moving well or look injured? Interesting as he didn’t do much Monday, didn’t do much training Wednesday and again not involved today. Maybe Tmac will come in for him.

Fritsch was working fairly hard with the trainer.

Mainly doing ball work and movement in a 10 X 10 meter area.

There was no obvious gait related problem.

The term for this week's prepping (according to Brenton Sanderson) is 'Active Rest' apparently.

So hyberbaric chamber for those with corkies / bruised up pretty bad, ice baths, physio, massages, down the coast for a dip for some etc.

The idea is to stay moving or rehabing without much emphasis on big sessions on the training track.  While you obviously have to put a session into the mix (a la this morning) that session is very targeted towards selective players and most likely tightly controlled / governed by the HP team in conjunction with the player/s of course.  Probably light on with the contact drills as well.

The above is what i picked up from Sanderson ...obviously every club/team/HP team does things slightly differently.

Sorry about some of the poor grammar, and of course, "Clarke" (auto correct).  Love your interpretation @La Dee-vina Comedia

Small new phone, bright sunshine (making it difficult to see screen), when posting from the paddock.

Modest & usually flies under the radar!


Thanks Kev and all posters I really love the way we go about it to optimise our chances.!!!

Yep. Understand that, was always going to be a light week in the track of a stupidly short break, but just the fact it’s not the first time Fritta in particular has been doing individual stuff on a few occasions recently, think it would suggest he’s carrying somewhat of a niggle. Hopefully his foot isn’t still the causing a few problems because they can hang around.

I'm still having nightmares about TMac's kicking from CHB circa 2016, assuming that he comes straight into the lineup where Fritta was named.

Not sure if anything I do as a poster influences game day. Perhaps you mean the club. So much happens behind closed doors, and I suspect there is not much difference between clubs. Though, those subtle differences have an impact. 

My main impact is to boost entertainment value in the build up, offer some degree of speculation, and of course give some perspective for those who don't/can't attend trainings.

Best way we can help optimise our chances on game day, is large crowds and the associated noise.

Go Dees.

I keep having memories of Tom kicking the goal after the siren in the Granny! How cool was that!

Addit: After the AFL finished, the Casey, MFC listed had a run. I didn't stay around as I had appointments to meet.

They were led out by Salem, probably doesn't mean much. Tomlinson walking by himself and looked a bit forlorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • 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?

    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?
