I had a look at the AFLW team train on Gosch's. 

The temperature was increasing, and the wind a bit gusty.

Pisano and Colvin both in full training mode.

Paxman, was not running at all, though lingering around the area. My guess is that they will test her tomorrow.

Beasley was hobbling around, Johnson rehabbing with short change of direction runs.

Hore left training early, no obvious hindrances.

At one stage, Colvin ran off the blind spot of Gall when the ball went over the back, head collision occurred. Colvin came off worse. I heard the assistant say she caught it on the shoulder and head. Both stopped training. I think they should be OK.

Rigoni was training well.

Ben Brown was working with the forwards, at the ball up situations and participating in the sims..

Goldy has only one speed at training as well.

B.Mackin was getting to the majority of ground ball contests.

Zanker's marking was sharp, with hard running to create links down the wing.

Forwards running patterns caused space to open up.

Plenty of focus, support, teamwork, and professionalism on display.

Heath was doing some great outside running and connections.

Pearce dominated the ruck and consistently tapping to the advantage of the mids.

Some transition from the full back and defensive wing simulations were clean and fast.

They were looking good.

    Colvin has only just recovered from a concussion, I hope she's okay

    Colvin was lying on her back for a few minutes as the assistant assessed her. She stood up and rested on the fence, she was teary, the collision must have hurt. Had a slow walk around the boundary (the long way) as she chatted to the assistant. I'm sure they will asses further as she had some distress. Hoping that the shoulder involvement in the collision may have lessened the blow to the head. I didn't see her lose consciousness.

    She was teary after the first concussion in the Adelaide game.  Poor thing, she's my sponsored player, I chose her coz she gives the best hugs.  I wish I was there to give her a big hug....

    Good on you @Katrina Dee Fan (and you, @kev martin) Insightful and thorough - as well as dedicated!

    These reports are much appreciated - and a welcome distraction from the current dominant fare here on 'Land 😉

    Gall gave Colvin a big hug when she came back to the shed.

    Me, too, Kat.

    I think we might need to make the most of it, though. When, as we all should hope, they get to the same level of professional and competition recognition as the boys (or even remotely near it) I guess access, and their personas, will be affected in inverse proportion, like the boys.

    Or we could hope our women, and the comp generally, manage to vive la difference?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
