Koz and Roy Boy having a water fight.

GW, reporting on the stuff that matters. 

Importantly, who won the water fight?

 

It’s a wrap. Short session but great vibes. They’re champing at the bit to get the season going.

Leb is a very happy lad. He said it’s good to be back in boots. About his injury- listed as a skin infection, he thought it was an ingrown hair at first but the medics said it was likely a spider bite and it became infected. In any case, it’s been cut out. It’s his big toe which is now sporting three stitches and he temporarily can’t bend it. He’s not playing tomorrow but has been told he’ll get a run vs Freo next week. 

Must be a Collingwood official paying off Spider’s to try curtail our season…

It's very impressive that you didn't say ''chomping''.

After reading these reports I'm still none the wiser on who is playing tommorrow! Surely it cant be that hard to have some sort of an indication based on personel present!🤪

I’d give the win to Koz, because the water fight ended when Roy squirted his bottle at Koz and Koz doing Koz things, sidestepped in a flash and the water hit Selwyn.

Patience PF. Kev was here and I’m sure he’ll furnish a comprehensive report. I hope so lest we incur the wrath of big bad @Roost it far 

Absent: McAdam

Rehabbing: Melksham and McVee lots of running. Moniz-Wahefield. Tholstrup and Kentfield not doing much.

Not playing tomorrow: May, Salem, Petracca, Viney, Spargo, Gawn, Langdon, Fritsch, Henderson, Windsor

Train-on: Roy George (Culley not present).

Leaves the other 28 available to have a run tomorrow:

2 van Rooyen
8 Lever
13 Oliver
14 Billings
16 Laurie
17 Bowey
19 Langford
20 Lindsay

35 Petty
36 Pickett
37 Chandler
38 Sestan
39 Mentha
40 Woewodin
41 Brown
42 Johnson
? George

 

 

You know who’s really excited to be playing tomorrow? That’d be Harves. He’s rapt.

Also, someone on here suggested a change of nickname for him, perhaps Bull or Bison. I ran it by him and he said it’d definitely be “very cool” to be called Bison. I said I’d make it happen which I shouldn’t have said coz how the hell can I make it happen?! 🤷‍♀️

Luker says his recovery will be loooong. Minimum two months. He’s doing very, very light exercises and stopping frequently. He’s still barely recognisable. 

TBH I probably wouldn't have recognised him before, Sounds like he has quite a few mini-pre-seasons and weight sessions on the agenda.

There's your answer!

Anyone know how Kolt is tracking

 

Given the nature of Kolt's injury he just turns up to training but he is not doing any running or drills. Today he spent quite a bit of time with his friend Kentfield - gentle stretches etc, hand-balling, etc. They will both be a couple of months away based on official and unofficial reports.

Did some running with the main group - a big step forward from last week. Don't expect him to play tomorrow though.

Yeh he trained properly for a good half hour but came off and put sandshoes on.  Looked uncomfortable but just needs to heal

Is Windsor going to play?

Don't think so - but he did not come out with the "early group" but I think that was mainly because that group was doing some serious running, given they are not playing tomorrow.

Based on what we saw today I expect the Casey game will not have any AFL listed players, and as reported earlier it may be that Roy George has a run in the main game (even though not on the list?).

The ones i listed at the start are not playing tomorrow, the trainers said so.  And they did bulk running at the end of training.  Not ideal for a game at 10 tomorrow morning.

This was:

Trac, May, Langdon, Gawn, Salem, Spargo, Viney.

Luker is a long way from being back to how he was pre-illness. On Monday he seemed in good spirits, today not so much ☹️

My emoji finger gets tired easily.

So thanks everyone🥈

I had a giggle at Clarry introducing himself to Henderson "hi mate I'm Clayton, nice to meet you" as if he didn't already know.

Was nice to see the guys get around him too.  Can be daunting first training with a bunch of blokes you don't know


Had the pleasure of meeting our newest player, Jack Henderson. He seemed a little overwhelmed, (by being thrown straight into the fray, not by meeting me, at least I hope that wasn’t the reason 😅). He’s small in stature but has a presence about him. The boys were great in making him feel welcome and he’s ”stoked” to have been picked up by us.

I would have replied “Clayton who”!

i suspect it must be very hard to know that yr teammates are gearing up to play against opposition and you're stuck in rehab and recovery

 

My squad prediction:

B: Lever, Adams, Hore

HB: Bowey, Petty, Howes

C: Sharp, Rivers, Billings 

HF: Pickett, van Rooyen, Sparrow 

F: Chandler, Jefferson, Turner

FOLL: Campbell, Oliver, Laurie

IC: Langford, Lindsay, McDonald, Verrall, Fullerton, Sestan, Mentha, Woewodin, Brown, Johnson

Was Turner there?

  • 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?
