All about bonding.

Most of the drills had a competive edge to it.

Golf with a footy, closest to the pin.

 Group handballing, with one more ball than the number of contestants. The one handling two balls was out, last man standing gets the chocolates. 

Snaps for goal off passes, two teams, first one to countdown to zero wins.

Two groups, handles ball then passes to end the set. First to finish wins.

Kind of juvenile, they were all regressed back to teenagers. Plenty of noise and excitement filled the paddock.

And how bloody awesome was it, Kev?!

Seeing them having fun like little kids was heartwarming. I could watch that all day.

They were having a blast but geez they were serious and super competitive. Ricky Lever in particular… he doesn’t like losing and he makes it known. 😂 Jed Adams was also very vocal.

    One must assume he has a vast array that will either match or enhance the sunglasses for the day.

    Sky, light, navy, cobalt or electric? 

    I actually asked what shade of blue (not as detailed as you’ve asked 😅) and he said he likes every shade of blue but probably likes the blue of our red and blue the most. 🥹🥹🥹

    I would rather my way of being free, play, laughter, and curiosity.

    Jai’s moonboot is purely precautionary because he has “a very minor foot thing”

    His favourite Dees player growing up? Despite the media citing Max and Vines, he actually has never had a single favourite player, rather he loved the midfielders. Even as a little kid he’s always loved the midfielders. 

    That's a relief that Jai Culley's moon boot is only precautionary.

    Hope he takes it easy and we get to see him kicking huge goals from outside 50 metres on the MCG later in the season.

     

    Looking forward to seeing Harvey "The Bison" Langford debut soon too! ❤️💙

    This is great! I love Chunk telling them to “ignore the scoreboard.”

    Also, Max’s little dance when he stands up in the rooms. Bless his unco little heart 😅

    I love this inside stuff, their reactions who talks and moves when they are focussed and how they show care for one another, Gold.

    Today is about fun. They are so happy and playful. Doing drills and sh!tt stirring at the same time. This drill seems to be about reaction times. There’s double handballs flying around players in a circle.

    Now there’s eight players in a circle with four balls being handballed and the idea is you can’t have two balls at once, ie. you have to give off the ball before you receive another. 

    Thanks for the reports GW.
    Any chance they did goal kicking practice while having fun.

    I didn’t see any goal-kicking practice, not serious practice anyways. But today was bookended by a thorough training session at Casey yesterday and an intra-club match tomorrow, so they deserved a fun day today imho.

    I couldn’t help but notice that as the boys left the room, Sharpie stayed back to pack up the chairs. Seems a small thing but it’s actually a big thing. It shows his character.

    AFL injury report is hopeless they had it listed as back on Tuesday

    Today someone who I think is in the know told me that sometimes Collingwood “play funny buggers” when informing the AFL of injuries, as in exaggerating an injury so as to keep everyone else guessing. 🤷‍♀️

    I noticed that too!  A few boys helped (saw Kozzie in the background) but Sharpie definitely did the most, making that big stack.

    They can indeed,  some friends never saw the light,  and hit the whole lot pretty hard. Don’t be let it become a crutch, same applies to demonland. 
     

    Those not so sensibile started departing this life, some early but some and regularly from turning 55. Some are still here , hey Mal, know your still here .  Rose are you on DL ?   Who knows what’s around the corner.  Flag 14.      Go dees. Enjoy life,

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
