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 martin
 

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?

Thanks Kev, and all posters, love the level of detail almost like being there.!!!


Thanks Kev

Was JVR there in good spirits, or was he nursing a severely injured bicep with which he tried to murder that GW$ guy??

sub for seniors? give him a quarter late in game when dorks are already beaten.

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.

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.

Great to see Eliza up and about after that serious back injury she suffered.

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.

It's now one of the segments of the show. Think I might call it Training with Kev. 😜

Or should it be Kev’s wife or Binman’s wife?

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".

May, looked to be moving well at training.

  • 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?
