The group of 3 of Fritsch, Fullarton and Johnson are working with Matty Whelan on a tackling technique drill. 

Matty would be either pleased or disappointed...that is Choco doing the drill...could tell by him telling Aidan Johnson after he showed him something a couple of times 'slow learner, but you got there'

    Sharp, Tholstrup and Fullerton just completed what looked like a 1500 or 2k run. Sharp lead but Tholstrup was with him all the way. Sharp by 5 mts in the end. Fullarton 30 Mtrs  back. On that note, I’m off to parking meter… more when I get home!

    Clarry has come off the track and taken his boot off and is applying something to what appears to be a blister. 

    Media headlines follow: 'Oliver with major foot injury, unhappy with treatment.'

    One more bit from GW:

    Salo is sure he'll be right for well before round 1. He had knee surgery and his recovery is coming along really nicely.

    Despite the oppressive heat, the session isn't shortened, nor is it tempered at all. They are going HARD.

    Early scoop from The Ghostwriter:

    Hey Katnip,

    Some early info…

    It’s bloody hot already. It’s only 9am and Vines is running laps, he has to leave training early for a family function. The new boys will be here this morning but not participating in training per se. 

    According to Goody we will “high likely”be picking up Ricky Mentha tonight 

    As you know, Kat, despite being described as “… an athletic brute who imposes himself on the contest” Aidan’s nickname is Peaches. 

    The new boys will be going to the Mansfield camp.

    JT is looking pretty damn happy with himself… And so he should.

    More to come.

    Gotta love Ghostwriter ....

    Fullarton back to training too? All happening at Goschs.

    Our Casey forward line suddenly looks stacked with Kentfield, Johnson, Fullarton, Jefferson, and Verrall (when Campbell is in the ruck) 😂

    I hope you haven't misconstrued the situation. These guys are aiming to play at the highest level. Someone even mentioned that Johnson is at the club to be a filler at Casey. Make no mistake, the selectors were doing their job last night. They might have picked him at 68 but their intention was to get him to a standard where he has a regular role at Melbourne.

    In fairness to me I was a fair way away and not wearing my current prescription sunglasses. 😬

    I attended some of the training. I spoke to the Ghost Writer who was in fine form. It was good to see Trac training, and looked in good spirits. Aiden Johnson is a big solid unit. Langford will be big in a few years. I was pleased to see the forwards coach giving instructions during drills. It was good to see Brad Green at training.

    Haven’t misconstrued anything? Maybe you just misinterpreted my post lol

     

    I’m confident in a few of those guys to become regulars at AFL absolutely. 
     

    reading back how worded it I can see how it’s been interpreted, I just meant suddenly we have a plethora of key position options all fighting for 3 spots. 

     

    Am not, have not and will not ever question our recruiting department.

    Langford is already asserting himself in the close-in handball/tackle group. Just got tackled by Trac, also showed a nice side-step. Then he and Tholstrup got hold of a rampaging Trac and refused to give an inch

    The other drill is a one on one hand balling keeping’s off drill with tackling. Langford just laid a ferocious tackle on Kolt to the cheers of all the players. We’ve got another good one here. 

    Great to hear Langford already showing he'll settle in fine. We've definitely got another gun there. So excited by what he could become. He said in an interview the other day he tries to play like Petracca, and he could become a gun mid/forward like Trac with time.

    Thanks to all the track watchers today! Awesome stuff!

    Yes, I'm happy to agree. Everything Johnson did at his first hit-out read, "I'm not here to make up the numbers at Casey"

    *this was not a shot at those players saying they won’t make it. far from it.*

     

    From previous posts all throughout this seasons I’m one of Jeffo’s biggest fans. 

     

    My point purely was that we suddenly have plenty of options underneath the so called first choice of Roo/Fritta/Disco/Petty*

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
