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".  Love your interpretation @La Dee-vina Comedia

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

Is Clarke is good!

Modest & usually flies under the radar!

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!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
