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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
