Training was at Casey today. I would’ve attended except my passport’s out of date. 😂

My very dear DA buddy (sister from another mister) attended and gave me her notes. Bear in mind she was behind the fence watching from a distance since it’s Richo’s decision to open the gate to fans and today he obviously decided against it. Most of the drills were on the opposite side of the ground. She arrived late therefore only saw part of the session. This is what she sent me…

• Intense serious full-on drills

• Focus on speed through middle

• Viney super fast very fit very determined 

• All talls practice up forward: Verrall, Adams, KFW, Kentfield Jefferson. One-on-one with backs.

• Impressive one-on-one Kentfield v May.

• Clearly focussing on super fast run and carry.

•Kynan very very fast

 • 11am match sim. For 13 mins
In white vests…Billings Kolt BBB Jefferson Kentfield Verrall Kynan McAdam Howes Tmac Laurie Chin Fullarton Tomlinson and #51 (? don’t know who, too far away)

• Not a slithera in sight


 

I added the last one 🤭

Boy you don’t muck around Andy. Already corrected the topic heading. 
One of these days I’ll get it right first go. 😇

Marvelous stuff   I do not think it will matter much  but we can live with hope,   then cry later.

 

Go Dees

Thanks WCW for sharing.

Any news on how JVR trained?

 

I realised after posting the above that she never mentioned him. I shall get to the bottom of this! 🧐😁


Goody said in the press conference today that JVR is likely going to be fit to play, but still needs to get thru a big load of training in the lead up.

Fingers crossed.

JVR about to put in his 'power of work'

Roo wasn’t rehabbing. He trained with everyone else for the whole session. He looked perfectly fine and was running well and in general training well.

Brilliant work WCW.

Good news about JVR. Our forward line needs him.


Thanks WCW great report.👏👏

WCW (and your locum) many thanks.  
What did she mean exactly by “Impressive one-on-one Kentfield v May.”??

May impressive v new boy, or new boy impressive v May??

Very interested in any other observations on Kentfield.  Supermen in disguise field ?

She meant Luker was impressive v May. Not afraid to use his body.

Since it’s behind the fence at Casey it’s hard to glean much. But what she could see was pleasing. 

How pathetically mean spirited of Richo to keep the gates shut so the (I imagine) 20 or so people attended had to watch from outside the fence.

All power to your friend WCW.

Great work by your locum WCW and as I said I was called at the last minute to look after the Grandkids and they are not old enough to be left unattended not even for a minute. My Grandson would have grabbed a slithera by the throat flung him away and looked for others to terminate, he is a real BAM BAM Type. If its a lady acquaintance of yours WCW I do see a person from time to time checking out training and have spoken to her. Like you she is heavily invested. Hopefully next few weeks I can venture to Slithera city and present a report!

Closed training sessions are not uncommon.

But this isn't "closed" because you can watch it through the wire fence.  You reckon that a Collingwood forward scout couldn't have seen it if he'd wanted to.

We should be embracing dedicated and passionate supporters, not punishing them.  If you want a closed session have it at another venue and don't advertise it.

I think he was joking JTR.

I’d say the lady you’ve spoken with at Casey is indeed my fellow-Dees nuffie buddy. She attends many sessions at ”Crannie” as she calls it since she lives in Frankghanistan, as I call it. 😂 She told me on occasion she’s chatted with a creepy old guy. Anyone we know? 😂

i think it was this week that i heard a description that most coaches affect the role of 'disappointed dad' rather than 'screaming and abusive' these days

At the end of the session Clarrie and Goody had a long talk out in the middle, just the two of them. She said it looked like a serious convo. I told her maybe they were talking about Clarrie’s skills of late and she said it’s funny I should say that because while they were talking Clarrie was dropping a footy to his boot and kicking it back up to himself over and over. Well, of course, it had to happen: he kicked it and it sprung up and hit him in the face. He and Goody laughed so I’m guessing the chat wasn’t about Clarrie’s skills. 😁

PS I seriously think a sherrin is like a security blanket to Clarrie. I’ve noticed that he’s almost always holding one during training, even when balls aren’t being used.

20 at Casey would be considered a huge crowd. My buddy has been there many times when she’s the only spectator. She said normally when there’s bugger all people, such as there was today, Richo unlocks the gate. Today for whatever reason he chose not to.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
