If anyone is venturing out here today, bring an umbrella. And be prepared to share it with someone who stupidly left hers at home. 🙄 

TIA!

    Is he wearing a cap or jumper to indicate “no contact” or is he good to go?

    About 38 to 40  players down at training. 

    BBB walking laps. 

    Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs. 

    Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints.

    I cannot see Moniz-Wakefield out there.

    Viney and Chandler have broken away from the drills that have some contact and are doing run throughs. 

    Melky, Bowser, McAdam, Hunter, doing main training without any indication that they are aren't fully participating. 

    Three stations, all in a competitive handball game.

    Now four stations with a competitive kicking game. Some 3 on 3 , others 4 on 4.

    Goody has joined one of the stations with a bib. Calls for move the ball quick ring out. Bibs play defensive. 

    The whistle goes and they all head off for some goal kicking. A short look at it, as they gather centrally and set for a full oval drill. 

    Viney has rejoined the main group, but Chandler has returned to the sheds,

    The energy is great, many having a good time, calls are loud and plenty of support for their teamates.  

    Two stations and doing stoppage simulations. 

    McAdam playing out of the stoppage area, like a high half-forward would. Occasionally looking disinterested, though that may be his demeanour. I think he his a shy kinda fella.

    Chaplin was doing most of the talking when they gathered.

    They finished the session with some sprints along the boundary, and some runs down the middle, then off to individual stuff, goal kicking and low ball gets.

    Choco working with Petty on his goal kicking.

    Before the runs, McAdam was getting some work on his left hip. Completely the sprints, but not the runs down the middle. A trainer has continued to work on that hip now for the past 5 minutes.

    I tell you what… Melksy can’t come back soon enough. They’re doing defending drills. One-on-one running towards each other, one with ball in hand and being stopped by the other with minimal physical contact. Melks is fully participating but also giving tips to Pup and Sesto. The respect he commands is amazing.

    Cool, an easy question. No cap. Same red jumper as everyone else

    Chocco has a group of them practicing marking. He bellowed, “Don’t go backwards against the flight! Keep your effing feet on the ground!” I have nfi what that means but I figure someone on here might.

    I’m glad you’re here, Kev. I was dreading any questions that are footy-related. Haircuts? I’m ya gal. But footiness? Not so much.

    I think I can help you out.  "Effing" is a euphemism for a naughty word that we can't say on here.

    Bowsa is doing everything the others are doing. His body language and demeanour are totes different from how they’ve been of late. You could see from a mile away how dejected he was. Today however, he’s smiling and seems so refreshed. The four days off have benefited everyone it seems. The energy and enthusiasm is off the charts.

    Spargipants just jogged past me and smiled. Ima take a pic and send it to ‘Paranormal Caught On Camera.’

    Bowsa is a cert for our Carlton match!!! He told me not to tell anyone, my mouth said OK but every other part of me said Do you even KNOW who you’re talking to???

    Update: it’s his natural hair colour! I told him people pay a lot of money for hair that colour and he’s lucky he gets it for free. And… wait for it… he didn’t just smile, he grinned! And now I’m not sure what planet I’m on. 
     

    PS: can confirm he has teeth.

    @WalkingCivilWar did you ask Fritta what Dusty said to him post game? Looks like he told him to f off which I can only assume is due to jealousy over his glorious hair 🤷‍♀️

    Hey @WalkingCivilWar, can u also ask Melky if he’s aiming for a ‘9 month post surgery’ return to play’? If it helps, obviously tell him you’re asking for a friend.

    Have heard a few mentions that McStay at the Pies may be back in that timeframe. Think Melk is aiming for King's Birthday?

    No, but I’ll definitely find out. 😁Interestingly, our #31 isn’t backward in coming forward when it comes to smart-mouthery. He’s the first to admit it. An example of what he says to oppo? I wouldn’t know since he won’t even tell his parents. 😅

    I’ve mentioned this before but in December he told me he’ll be back “for the back end of the season.” Then about six weeks ago I asked him if that had changed. He said it has and that he’ll likely be back earlier than anticipated. I said, “Maybe after the mid-season bye?” He said “Yes, maybe even just before the bye.” I haven’t asked him since then because I don’t wanna annoy him (I know right - that ship’s sailed 🤭) but Chocco told me today that they’re really happy about how much “ahead of time” he is.

    I just think it’s weird that Dusty would have beef with Fritta. I doubt those two have ever played on one another 😂

    Thanks Kev and all others including WCW

    Did I read it right that both Bowey and Melksham were in full training?  Fabulous news if I am reading correctly.

    Would it mean that Bowey could be back this week or next, and Melk only a few weeks later presumably via a few at Casey

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
