    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.
