I’m at Gosch’s Paddock this morning in the lead up to our first match of the 2024 AFL Season. 

Thanks

I’m keen to hear thoughts on 

1. Fullerton v Schache - who looks more likely to get the nod for swans game (assume it’s the Shack)

2. Who are are options for Picketts spot 😒?

Brown , McAdam , AMW ? Assume Spargo isn’t fit

    Most likely would be Jnr Dog or AMW to debut, as the other 2 are injured or not match fit.

    Guaranteed we will go into the Swans game with the same lineup as the Blues game with Brown slotting in for Kozzy. 

    I’d like to see Fullarton get a nod over the early rounds but we’ve also got to give Schache a look in too.

    Transition/Interception drill. Simulating opposition kicking from our half forward to half back and we intercept and transition through the middle to hit up one of our forwards. Lots of long handballs. Out numbered amount of opposition in white bibs to simulate pressure from oppo. 

    2 separate groups simulating this drill on either side of the ground.

    Selwyn kicking the ball to McAdam on the lead out of the pocket. McAdam marks and kicks back to Selwyn and then has to run back to position by zig zagging out of the way from another trainer applying blocking pressure.

    They really seem to be pushing him - assuming he must be close to playing

    I have done this kind of drill previously at semi professional level a decade and a bit ago and it's absolutely not as easy as it sounds.

    Depending how many repetitive efforts it can be a taxing drill and I'm glad he's getting a solid workout in.

    Just not sure about having 3 debutants in a first round team - seems like a lot of inexperienced players at once

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
