    Damn!  It does have a kind of ring to it.  Actually i just realised it's spelt Smacka.  Even easier!

    And you can show him this good lookin (somewhat famous) fella from back in the day.  Very stylish!  He can trial this as the latest rehab kit!

    P.S. I can still send Uber Eats down with a Bloody Mary.  Actually i'll make it two, one for Smacka as well.

    Would that help!??

    Smacca is ok. Shmacca sounds too much like Schmakos, for which dogs go wacko, apparently.

    No, no she didn’t use it, which is exactly why her and Smacca are still BFFL. 😜

    Transition Drill from intercept mark off half back with no opposition (well the coaches) ending with kick to the lead of either JVR or Petty. Fast ball movement moving through the middle. 

    How is Petty handling the drill DLand, is he marking cleanly?

    Lovely morning for the captain's run.

    The bonding appears to be high, they are supportive and encouraging towards each other. A good family club is not just words. At one time a mini number 25 ran to the boundary from the tent and gave Max a note, he read it (smiled) and tucked it into his shorts. Such nice interactions. Joy reigns supreme at the moment for the club.

    McAdams was down before the squad. He was wearing his normal training top (blue one with his number) and gear. Being put through a more intense training regime than previous. He appears to be moving freely, as smooth a gait as I have seen. I can imagine, he gets a test at the next session, and will join the main squad if he passes.

    The main squad came out in drips and drabs. All the emergencies were with the team, 25 altogether. Partnered up for and kick to kick, until all were on, and then the whistle. BBB in runners, probably will be managed the entire season with his personal program.

    They went straight into drills with two stations. One, short kicks and runs, the other, handballs, quick step evasive moves, and low ball gets. Then all the squad drilled together, kick and run in a large square area to the four corners. They ran structural sims that had fast down the corridor plays. Finished the session with some goal kicking.

    Choco spent time with Fritsch, Chandler, and Tracc as they snapped. Plenty were getting it right. Petty was also trying to hit some from outside the 50 arc, not too successful, though when he brought it in closer he was nailing them. Kossie was the standout, with Windsor not far behind in the 'beauty of kicking'.

    Goody is standing back a bit today, seems it is Choco's time to take it. Yells out "precision", or was that Lever (loud all session).

    Goody runs off to AAMI immediately the session finishes. 

    The atmosphere feels special.

    A trainer mentioned that a Captain's run from the Casey Squad, will be there tomorrow Saturday about 9.45am on Gosch's.

    We had a lovely group of 6 D/Landers, shooting the breeze, chita chatting. Thanks for that, I'm feeling part of something big.

    Go Dees.

    Addit: The Victory had a practice match on the other side of the paddock. A great morning for me, fully entertained, Woo-Hoo.

    Was running very well at training. You wouldn’t know he has had any issues with is toe/feet. Was leading and marking well albeit with no opponent/pressure. Kicking for goal from 40-50 directly in front was bang in the middle.

    All Captain’s Runs I’ve been to have been very light sessions with little run and contact and usually only an hour and change.

    Best news from those reports thanks WCW and Demonland was that Petty appeared to have moved, run and kicked without problems. 
    As has been suggested maybe he will be the sub and if not needed earlier replaces BBB in Q3

    Great report Kev but what's with "McAdams" ?? 

    Are there 2 of them ?

    Think Binman did the same thing.

    Yes, got it wrong again. I put him in my Fullaton (Fullarton), Adam (Adams), Billing (Billings) book, but not River (Rivers) or Howe (Howes). 

    The 's' in or out is hard to remember in the players spelling.

    Already had a lesson from @Demonstone, he will be disappointed in my execution.

    Don't worry, Kev.  I'm in a very forgiving mood after seeing Collingwood get rolled last night.  :D

    You just keep those great training reports coming.  We all appreciate the time and effort you put in.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
