All set up down here at Gosch's, no players yet.

Any questions or particular observations from me, or for me about training are welcome.

    There may be some passing interest in whether Clayton Oliver is training...

    I suspect today is just a stretch and skills set. If they break into groups it would be interesting to see who from Casey is in the seniors group. Thanks

    Presume we will put JJ on a wing for Hunter.

    Curious to hear what Rivers does this session....In the backline or with the mids?

    We actually have few options in Harmes/Sparrow to possibly share the role. You know sorta what you are going to get with both....We could be much more dynamic with combination of Rivers/Kossi/Viney.

    Is Petty still in the moon boot or wearing real shoes?

    Bowey making an appearance is good. His calf must be ok. 
     

    Will go cry in the corner about Oliver now.

    How’s the mood/feel of the players? 

    Focused, all gathered together, and as they were out late onto the paddock, I presume the review was extensive.

    I was not talking about weekly ins or outs....just a few possible positional changes.

    Fwiw none of your changes are overly inspiring.   We are going to look a much less talented team on paper this week. 

    *Clearly if players are injured or suspended they will need replacements...but that is pretty darn obvious!

    I think Kev will be arrested if he attempts this.

    Look, I’m probably not known for the best choice of words when posting… this may be another prime example of this 😂

    Took a while to spot him, Dunstan is in full training mode.

    I think they are testing him out physically. 

    One of the last to leave the paddock, after doing some low ball gets.

    Can you stick your hand in the shed Kev and ask the question? 🙂

    He is moving OK, but only short movements. No strapping and feeling the top of his left quad.

    Scared and fell I'm imposing if I take his attention away from what he is doing.

    Oliver has entered the field, doing some resistance work and also going a bit harder. 

    Now a bit more, does some switching with his steps, looking comfortable, all smiles, and Petty who is close by gives him a hug.

    He has put on a stretch strapping and doing some slow 50 meter run throughs under a timer.

    Carrying a ball, doing small kicks, Tracc has a hand slap with him, looking positive and on the low side of grading.

    Is Oliver the new Jimmy Stynes?

    So at least we know his hamstring is still at least somewhat attached to his body… or he’s doing a Steven May circa 2021 😂

    Dare I take this as a good sign that it's a minor 1-2 week injury and he'll back for Kings B'day??

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
