I think it is possible that the fitness professionals know more about it than we - or at least I -do.  

Correct, will back their judgement over mine anytime. 

However if something looks odd or weird it's worth asking the question.

    Would that suggest BBB is on his way back in and the Petty up forward experiment is dead in the water?

    More the second part I reckon.

    Cannot confirm, though they have regularly been down at Casey for the main training this season. 

    My guess would be, train at Casey on Wednesday, fly to Alice Thursday, community events Friday, Saturday, captain's run on Traiger oval, and play Sunday.

    Are you for real?  Jack does  not need managing when in top form. 

    Jack's come of the ground in consecutive games with a shoulder. Both times in considerable pain. First time it was described as a 'stinger' but that sounds like a ruse.

    Are we sure it's a shoulder issue with Viney? After the Pies game they said he suffered a bit of a pinched nerve in the neck, in the Cats game he looked just as done as the Pies game only to continue on unhindered again. Maybe it was the nerve again.

    Fair enough if the medicos get on top of it and judge that he be managed.

    I'm no judge on fitness but BBB looked pretty fit to me on the handball.

    I've really only been able to see the Monday review training sessions this year. Lately they have been doing an extra 30 minutes on a Monday, but that is due to the fact that they have had a 4 or 5 day break from the last game.

    I would assume the "loading" is done in the gym, because the training session I've observed don't usually go longer, and the running sessions don't seem to be more extensive.

    Trainings seem to be about processes and skills. Even during preseason, they were doing a lot more ball work, than other years. 

    If they are pushing players, I'd imagine they would absolutely need individual programs, so as to optimise the work. Training is usually a group/team program.

    With loading, they need closer analysis,with specific cardiovascular parameters, which is better suited to a gym.

    The rehabbers have specific field programs they need to tick off. It is usually done with a one on one, trainer and trainee assistance. I assume if the entire squad is loading then there is not enough trainers to assist. Again, the only place where many can be monitored and do specific programs, is a gym.

    If they are loading it would be happening out of sight, I reckon.

    Interesting kev - do you mean an extra 30 minutes intensive training after short breaks?  
    As you pint out though much of the “loading” would probably involve gym work away from prying eyes.

    Surely it depend on what the problem is.

    Leaving on Saturday, I would say they will have main training session tomorrow

    Leaving on Saturday for a Sunday game with community work as well?  Sounds a bit strange.  I understand that in the past they would go up mid week.

    No, I mean 4 to 5 days since they played a game, making it 9 to 10 days between games.  It appeared to be, extra intensity on the Monday during the longer breaks.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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?

      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.
