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".

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
