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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
