TRAINING: Friday 28th April, 2023

Featured Replies

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.

Is Clarke is good!

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.

Absolutely no need to apologise. I think I speak for all of us when I say we love your work.

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.

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
