Questions in advance:

- Does Grundy train?

- Is Oliver going to do the similar run through work to last week and does it look like the loads are increasing?

- Are there many ground ball drills and 'in close' stuff?

- Is BBB or Schache out there?

A friend of mine saw Oliver doing run throughs at about 75% pace at Gosch's on Saturday before the game. Said he looked unhampered and looked like he could play next week. Just a random observation though.

Yeah, saw the same. Looked pretty unencumbered with some ‘ball use run throughs’ so basically, ball kicked in front, pick it up at pace, then pick it up to the left, then right, then pick it up in square, u turn and hit a target - he did that as well as most humans. 

But he is a bit more than that now isn’t he

He is progressing through by the sound of it, but it will be the full tilt running, rapid acceleration, deceleration loading that’ll determine match readiness. 3 weeks is a minor hammy whether we risk it 3.5 or so will be interesting. If he does a major one it could be season ending so a big call either way.

Absolutely 0 chance we risk Oliver this week given the sheer amount of injuries Carlton have, plus how bad they are playing. 
KB tho…. 

I would be interested to hear if there are any forward delivery drills that involve the talls actually spreading and smalls in crumbing positions instead of our norm of all flying in each other’s way. 

I'd be interested to hear if anyone hits a target under a small amount of pressure and if a forward leading to mark the ball isn't impeded by his own team?

I know where you are coming from but that never happens on game day

In an even comp and we seem to always be the hunted now - we are always going to have to deal with high pressure for most each game - if we can't deal with that then we are going to struggle

Somehow, we need to try and create more space for JVR , fritta, Gawn/Grundy to operate without trying to take marks in packs of 4 plus players.

As a side note I thought Grundy's efforts to mark against Fremantle was probably his best so far as a Demon - hopefully he continues to build on that and become more effective in F50

Cant imagine them risking Oliver after 1 game.  Reasonable chance he plays on June 12 ( 2 weeks away) as hes a fast healer and it wasnt a tear .

Carlton is not an easy game. We have to fight like hell and try and put them to bed asap especially with Cerra and possibly Cripps out plus a few others. Cheating umpires could be a problem. Brace for a 50m penalty when they catch feelings.

No more talk of easy kills. Even Hawks and North are improving a little week by week.

GWS beat  Geelong at the cattery for the third time. WTF do they know about that ground that Goodwin obviously doesnt.

Surely he will be going over the video to see how they did it.

If you can beat Geelong at the Cattery then you can beat Collingwood at the G. Even Collingwood players are human (sort of)  theyre not AI robots.

Oliver with the main group, as is Grundy.

Those doing there own warm ups include, Tmac, Spargo, Hibbo, Friitta, BBB, and J.Smith. All in runners except BBB.

Rehab, is K.Turner. 

Spargo, BBB, J.Smith, and Tmac, join the main group. Now, Hibbo has joined.

Schache, with the main group.

Petty, is doing his own program.

They have put a barbecue on for staff, the kids and I assume anyone else.

We should know how to play that ground better than any team bar Geelong - the AFL makes sure we are trotted down there every year without fail

Yep, though it is only a short session. 

He is also doing small distance ball handling with Moniz-Wakefield, after all the other players have left for the sheds. 

I saw him feel for the back of his hammy early in the warm up. Like a test, but didn't do it again during the session.

We may well have the same friends?

Miracles do happen even if rarely.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
