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?

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

    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.

    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.

    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".

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
