PIE CHAT: Jordan DeGoey the sole pie player running laps of Olympic Park

Collingwood in real trouble if he's the only example of their culture on the training track. Their President is gorn, Graeme Wright left in a huff. They missed out on the finals this year after being gifted last year's flag and a dream fixture. Time for the Herald Sun to send in some of their quality [censored] to sort that club out.

At this stage there’s no training at Casey until January. Gosch’s all the way.

Was just told the boys are “in for it” this morning. They’re gonna be pushed harder than ever. Selwyn is smiling from ear to ear 😅

I'm going to miss being your go-between!!  Good to have you back :)

I attended some of the training. I was very impressed with the instructions the forwards coach was giving to the forwards. His message was he does not want forwards standing still, but too be moving to make it harder for defenders. Several drills were conducted to help improve the forwards.

Clarry is reapplying sunscreen and has used up the quota of a small nations rations of zinc 

As a fellow human born with lily white, almost transluscent skin, I totally get it!

Is Petty still training with the backs?


Nothing too special in the drills after the time trial.

Choco with some point to point kicking that didn’t go all that smoothly but wasn’t a disaster either and a few other smaller drills.

Chappy took a big forwards group (both in height and numbers) for some work on kicking inside 50. A focus on how to legally block for both the high kick to the hot spot and the flatter kick to the lead in to the pocket.

Backs and mids were doing a 2/3rds ground ball movement drill to get the ball out from the backline. Focus seemed to be on short accurate kicks to leads.

I tried to watch the new guys.

Langford - looks very comfortable in main training. Not the most pure kicking action and I think he’ll miss targets with depth control. His strengths look like really fast accurate hands and he just know where to run to get the ball.

Plus Size (XL20) - a lot of lap running. Did some basic kicking drills and the ball comes off his boot fast and low with good accuracy. 

AJ - missed a few kicks in the drill immediately post the time trial but generally looks comfortable out there. In a drill moving the ball from a contest under pressure in backline he looked comfortable bending down to get it and evading pressure. Dished out on a long lefty handball and generally when he marks he extends his long arms nicely.

Jeff Junior kicks the ball like the son of Jeff/academy player, he can spin it for a ruck. Natural mover. Tall. Thought he fumbled a couple of marks but just naturally he’s marking way up high. There’s some tools there for sure!

The other kid Toby has some go and a nice left foot, hide him away for a year please!

Watched a bit of Kentfield, he did a decent time trial given he’s a huge lad. Skills are nice and he moves pretty well. Not blown away but if Casey aren’t hopeless he’ll do more than his 4 touches a game this year.

Was meant to finish at midday but they’re still out there. Goal kicking practice right now.

In my experience, that is helpful if the activity is listening to Dark Side of the moon.

Exercise activities not so much.

What an album!

Kalani is exactly 200cm, was measured this morning. He’s still growing but is happy enough that he’s taller than his dad which was his goal. 😁 His younger brothers are coming along well. They’re both playing for a team, I can’t remember the name of it but it’s up in QLD, of course.

Kalani’s training indoors tomorrow with the boys but won’t be training with us Wednesday and Friday because he’ll be training with the AFL Academy. He’ll be back at Gosch’s next week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 


Thanks for those providing updates and insight. Can someone advise any obvious shifts in players in the forwards, mids and backs groupings. Particularly interested in where Petty and Fullerton were grouped but any other observations appreciated.

One that I noted was Windsor went down with the backs today for one of the drills.

How was his face? Disinterested, distressed or disengaged?

Distorted. He had come straight from Revs.

Get Kalani White now!!!  Really looks the goods but needs some upper body work obviously.

With the full squad at training it was hard to spot standouts or for that matter concentrate on any particular player.

Turner, Langford and Lindsay yet to get numbers on their backs.

Spargo on the bike, Lindsay, McAdam and Fritter running the boundary.

Chin is obviously well respected by the club and said a few words to the group.

TMcs family always seem to be in attendnace at training.

About 60+ onlookers at any one time with the highlight being the HUN camerman who asked which one was CP5. Really?

 


Confirmed to be Sinnema

Didn't realise he was in our NGA. Another player to keep an eye on for next year.

 

Wow didn’t know Brown could run that well!

Interesting results. Would be nice if they included times as well. Suspect Langdon and Laurie wouldn't have been too far outside the top 5.

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
