Is he meant to? is there some planned training with the indigenous team?

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train.

Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

Maysie’s here though.

I doubt it’s that reason.

SEN interviewed Jace Burgoyne from Port and he indicated that training for the indigenous team would occur next week.

I think they’re just easing his load a little as he’s missing (yet again) the first 3 games and the team needs to put in structures and strategies without him.

Will check Freo website to make sure he isn't there already

Can't he catch up? Either do something at home, say if he has an exercise bike, or more realistically do a bit extra at the next few sessions?  If you get a chance maybe ask one of the coaches/staff today.

Don't tempt fate!

 

Maybe he is too embarrassed to face his teammates after the news story and called in sick.

Wait for the news sharks - “Amid deep divisions at MFC  Kozzie has already moved to Fremantle”

Back: May, Petty, Howes, Windsor, Salo

Mids: Gawn, Riv, Viney, Sparrow, Billings, Lindsay 

Fwd: Disco, JVR, Fritsch, Sharp, Langford, Langdon

Sharp busy, Langford found good space for 2 snags, Fritsch a class above, Disco with a nice grab. Salo with a lot of the best patches of ball movement with some Windsor moments too.

White backline: T Mc, Adams, Hore, Bowey, Sesto, AMW were under the pump.

Jeffo juggled contested mark on the wing, in to Andy, picks out the Yze lead to the picket who nails a tight shot under plenty of Viney sledging 

Edited by DeeSpencer

I don’t think the Jeffo, Aj, Yze, Ricky Mentha, Roy George forward line will get a run at Afl level but they’ll be fun at Casey 


Spargo and McAdam doing laps with Conca.

Fullarton, Tracc, Chandler doing another stuff 

McVee, Lever, Verrall and Kossie unsighted. Plus Kolt and Luker

There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to get up and out from under “the pack” to get the ball and all I can see is that scene from Kindergarten Cop 

Shuffled the teams and pulled a few out so it’s opened right up. Clarry prolific, Langford still finding the ball. May has dominated defensively in both drills really.

Ollie Sestan is a lovely user at half back, not sure if the rest of his game will stack up but his kicking is lovely.

Jeffo (I’m watching closely) with a beautiful turn of pace, run through a couple of tackles and corridor kick

I’m thinking jeffo will play round 1. 

JVR, Turner, Jeffo

fritch, macadam, chandler

interchange: melk 


Hard to pay full attention with a 3 year old running amok but there were three clear standouts for me from what I saw: Fritsch, Windsor and Langford.

You call that a report??

Tall backs and Forwards did some marking work

Mids some rough stoppage on the wing stuff.

Laurie copped a nice one from Rivers in a tackle and went off with a blood nose 

Some different running, sprints for some, longer runs for others. Lindsay dropped by Bowey and Howes in a longer run.

Judd McVee is out there, did I completely miss him?

Tracc’s doing set shots. 

Yze, Culley, Roy and Mitch KS were the fill in players today. 

 

I attended some of the training session this morning. During match sim, I was very impressed by Fritsch, Windsor, Langford, and Billings. Trac still training on sidelines, but looks close to returning to main training. Meltsham was running laps in rehab due to hamstring injury. Spare and McAdam running laps.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
