In view of the EXTREME HEAT conditions, I sincerely hope NO TRAINING!

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024
 

The days with modern scientific coaching methods, the coaches will keep the players well hydrated and they will most certainly train tomorrow.

Imagine how we would look if we called off training and all of the other clubs trained? The media and supporters of other clubs would have a field day.

I'd imagine an early morning start to beat the heat?

Yeah nah. Don’t think that will happen. 
I swear I saw a couple players melt last year on one of the hotter days. 
Asked somebody about it, but they said it was sublime.


I’m intending to come to training today with my lad - has there been a change of time announced?

I was told there’s no change to start time today, nor to intensity or length of the session. Peter, the head physio said “we play in all conditions, we train in all conditions.”

Anyways as I type this it’s starting to rain here in Snorbs (the stabbing capital of Victoria) so it might not be as bad as forecast. 🤷‍♀️

In the past they’ve cancelled sessions due to extreme heat and even due to heavy rain. But that’s not the case now. I’d say only hail or lightning would effect a cancellation nowadays. 

 

Only in Melbz… forecast top of 42 yet still need to pack a brolly 😅

Happy for a 8.00-10.30 or so session😎 By the way Ghostwriter, Clarry will look like your avatar with the amount of sunscreen he will require!

I just did a run and a gym session and I'm much older, fatter and less fit than those guys, I think they will be fine!

I’m not worried about Clarrie… he’s very diligent with applying and reapplying sunscreen. It’s Spaz I worry about because while he isn’t mayonnaise on Wonder White like me and Clarrie, he only applies sunscreen to the top of his ears, and nowhere else. 😭

Tracc is the most sensible in this regard: he’s the only one who wears one of those foreign legion hats.

Kolt has a different solution.

Wheels told me he took Ricky camping and fishing on Saturday. Ricky had never done either before. There were other boys on the little overnight camping thing. As Wheels put it… the “brother boys” went and they had a great time. 

Spargz is training with the main group  🥳

 

Everyone’s here, except for Mitch Hardie.

Shane isn’t here either.

McAdam needs to be doing every session I would have thought if he is going to be best 22 in R1

  • 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?

    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?
