I find it amazing that from watching these sessions (& kudos to you) that you come up with these assumptions. We have a high performance team who would analyse these players to the “nth degree “ and I don’t believe one bit that any training would be taken lightly. My interest in reading these reports are how the players look mentally ..how connected .,what are the vibes like. I’d be extremely surprised if you could tell us anything relating to game plan etc ..& I mean that in a nice way otherwise every club would know exactly what we’re doing …

Fair points but 'reading the vibe' is fraught with danger.

I've seen them super chatty, running on top of the turf and some looking like they'd run through a brick shizen house at some Gosch's runs only to then go out and get smacked a few days later by 50+.

And then the opposite can occur. A number appearing dour, long faces, serious chats with trainers, coach etc. The vibe and happiness seemingly zapped out of many. Choco harping on about a particular aspect of their kicking etc etc.

Then they come out and deliver a solid win.

Personally i take zero notice of anything that's reported re "vibes" from a player or the various playing groups (forwards / followers / backs etc).

So many diff personalities within the group also. You're gonna see some up and about no matter what. While others might just be the serious / dour type that just wants to get on with business. And then there's the in betweeners etc.

    Hard to detail any of the above from behind locked gates and when most of the drills are done on the other side of the ground.

    Here’s an idea though: howsabout YOU get your caboose down to Casey and report back here on specifics of the drills in question, focus, personnel, directions, equipment used, pedagogies, close skill sequence, outcomes, etc. 👍🏽

    Don't think I can be bothered any more, given locked gates, but ALL of my DETAILED reports feature specific elements of required content as per usual.

    fans who have endured at least half a season of poor kicking in front of goal.

    A massive understatement there - how about 4 seasons.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
