AFLW TRAINING: Tuesday 24th September 2024

The music put them in some rhythms for this morning run.

Light duties included Mackin, Zanker, Rigoni, Taylor, Johnson. Paxmen still restricted, attending some drills. Many didn't have numbers on their kit. I couldn't tell how Beasley trained. Tayla and Pearce still assisting on the track.

Simulations, the squad split into two groups, ground ball gets and hit up to two leading forwards. The other was stoppage and clearance around the defensive mid.

Plenty of goal kicking practice during the session. 

They finished with two teams taking on the coaches and tie-ins, The teams rotated in and out, as the coaches battled the flood of strong players, coaches ran out of steam.

Welcome back Kev. Beasley did an ACL Kev so you won't see her for a while.

Yes, a season defining injury list.

Beasley, Blaithin and Edo added, Paxy and Rigoni as test hopefully coming off, plus we have a timeframe for Liv.

CTTG mentioned that Melbourne is in top up territory… we await Todd P’s next move.

Meggs suggests Casey BnF and VFLW team of the year member, Meg McDonald.  A Tyabb bred ball winning midfielder.
