Light duties: Fritta, Rivers, Tomlinson, Woey, K.Turner, Verrall.

Salem, TMac, Chandler, Hibbo, full training. 

BBB, Tomlinson, Fritta, and Rivers have now joined the main group after the warm ups.

Mithen, Fitzsimons, and McNamara, (AFLW) have joined in for some drills. All under the guidance of Williams.

Fritta now goal kicking.

Three squads, handball game, soccer game, and Williams’ skill training.

Dunstan in rehab, right calf.

BBB and Tomlinson leave early, when the others start running harder.

The full squad drill is, short passes in a pocket, that lends up on a corner of the fifty, then they kick and run around to the points of the square, which finishes with a lead to the forward area and a kick on goal. All rotate through the ground. 

That is it, 35 minutes. 

A few finish with some goal kicking. Tracc, Oliver, Kossie, J.Smith, Farris-White, Grundy. Bowey, and the women (still with Williams).

Viney, ball handling with a trainer.

May, Lever, Hibbo, and Petty chat.

    Kev, if you’re still there, can you please tell me which three AFLW players are training with the boys? I know Lily is one. Who are the other two? One of my DA buddies is there and has sent a blurry pic to our WhatsApp and is asking us to pick who the other two girls are. No one has guessed correctly and I’m so down for cheating it’s not funny. 
    TIA!

    all good, Kev. I just read it in your post above 👍🏽
    Winning here I come! 😁

    Casey have the bye this week, but with Salem back in full training, might we see him play part or all of their game the following week?

    The risk with the sub is that whoever it is must be ready to play a full game, just in case. Nevertheless, if Salem is fully fit, should he come into the senior team immediately, sub or not? If so, for whom? Up until the GCS game, I thought Bowey was struggling. But I thought Bowey and McVee were both very good on Saturday.

    suggestion was a little tongue in cheek 😆 but not totally

    NO  Short memories.

    Don't you want to learn from last year? 

    Agree Judd and Bowser both played their part and gave us drive and good disposal.  Not sure who was on Rosas though

    So was Rivers ( except from his last five minute brain fade) and Hibbo.last rounds.

    If last year was any indication, it's a hard no from me.

    Should play 2 to 3 Casey games and then come into the seniors.

    Agree, he is coming off successive injuries/illnesses, start with a half in vfl and build up from there

    Hi kev, last week I used your Monday training report on the podcast. I hope you don't mind me doing it again tonight (with credit obviously).

    Can you elaborate on the quoted part. Was this a defenders brainstrust meeting or just lighthearted socialising?

    Yes, looked like a brainstorming session of more than 5 minutes, and Petty was into it. I'd say Petty is working out of the backline, or at least the swing man.

    Very welcome to use the reports. Credit is definitely not required, though thanks anyway.

    JVR looked fine, stayed in the middle of the pack, most of the time. My guess is they have gathered around him.

    K.Turner and Verrall, have been increasing their work load, Kyle more so than Verrall.

    Feel like May has looked hindered this season, particularly bending to pickup a ground ball. Might be time for a rest this week?

    You could combine the training report with a cooking segment and call it "Chicken Kev".

    Alternatively, you could play up the training spy angle and call it "Double O Kevin".

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
