Clarrie’s not here, nothing to worry about, it’s just that these sessions are tailored to the individuals and Claz is “Off Legs” today which is sports medicine speak for not running.

I told JVR he might need his big boy pants for Monday. He said he hasn’t been told yet either way. I said it makes sense to have him selected this week. He said (take a deep breath, PF) “Jeffo’s kicked 10 goals in the past two weeks, it will probably be him.”

Probably just a coincidence but Jeffo’s not here today.

With the soccer balls and sherrins in the same picture, I immediately pictured them combining to become pear-shaped, to reflect the Alice Springs game. Actually, pear-shaped balls might correct our goal kicking problems.

No Rick Lever, no Melky.

AMW looking good and looking very happy. Doing one-on-ones with a trainer.

Spargs running along the boundary, in great spirits.

The last time I was 'off legs' a bottle of gin had snuck up on me


I have some time off in July, so looking forward to getting down to Gosch's for a training report or two.

Hi my little sheet rack great shot of spargypants and his kids

The flushing run from those who played at Alice, and a light training for the Casey MFC and Laurie. They were separated into the two groups.

Cold and some of the squad appeared to feel that. Arms crossed, body with slight contractions. (Harden-up Gen Z).

Goody got round to a few of the players for long chats.

Lever, Kossie, Viney, Johnson, Oliver, Melky, not in attendance.

The Alice's did a warm then got into 3 laps of the paddock, some soccer then they had a choice, leave or personal drills. Four went to gather ground-balls, four to goal kicking and the rest followed Max back to AAMI.

Goal practice included, Lindsay, Tracc, Chandler and Sharp.

The seconds had a bit more fun, Chaplin had them in a competitive partnership drill. Then, into some sims with Whitford, 5 defenders, the 12 offenders.

JVR forward by himself and leading towards goal in a few. Then Cambell and Jeffo on either flank leading up the ground. Plenty of looking for the inside corridor and angles into the forward 50.

They then went onto some goal kicking, with William's overseeing.

Marty looks ready to go.

Spargo doing a mountain of running in rehab and his own program.

AMW with a trainer and working on his running gait over 5 meters.

McAdam down at training but didn't participate.

Last on the track was Billings and Brown, working with Williams on their goal kicking.

No GT striped balls in use.

Viney out with a fractured hand

Thanks once again Ghostwriter, Kev Martin and all posters and special comments, I imagine that they would have been a bit flat today, not helped by the terrible news of Jack Viney breaking his hand whilst training in Alice Springs over the weekend. I heard Milkshake on radio he said that all they will do this week is goal kicking practise and then on face book Neita said he’s going to get Swarta and the real Whizz together to teach our boys how to kick, if only.😁👍

GW is Picket fence there to ais goal kicking discussion?

They were quite talkative and relaxed.

Appeared as though they have moved on from the Alice game.

Long morning of review and an address from Daniher seemed to have helped them get set for the Woodens.

The others presumably thought that they were ok with goal kicking.

As I said on the goal kicking thread, unless there are very serious changes in attitude and outcomes, membership for 2025 will decline steeply.

I think most wanted to get out of the cold.

I could see that Lindsay wanted to work and create the best system to kick straight, focused and serious.

So, the junior on the list felt it was important, but the seniors didn’t. 🤬🤬🤬😡😡

I'd like to imagine that the main trainings, Thursday and Saturday at Casey would be where the standards are set. The flush runs still seem to be about comraderie.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
