The session has finished but the guys who played at Casey are doing some boundary line run throughs. Though Kent and Vanders are doing goal kicking practice with some forward while Goody stands on the mark and watches on. Jones just doing extra touch with Ben Matthews.

Now that you mention it no he isn't??

Austin Bradtke is also here doing some work with an assistant coach. Bloody tall kid!

Some interesting ovbservation here. Fritsch is with the mids playing a sweeping role off a hslf back qlong with gus and Baker. Interestingly Lewis is also with the mids doing stoppage work.

Groups have split into forwards, backs and Mids.

Looks fine to me? And as i type this hes just joined the main group with the backline group.

Group has now split into 2 big groups with one closest to me doing 4 point kicking which then finishes in the middle group who kicks up to full forward. Clarry is one of those leading forwards along Smith and Tom McDonald. Lewis, Spargo, Gawn hardly missing targets. Dom, JKH, Pedi and Baker also kicking well.

Group has now split into 5 small group just doing extra touch and groud ball. Vanders is a seriously big unit! Id love to know his actualheight because hes definitely alot taller then Wagner whos listed at 189cm tall. Btw no Billy Stretch here.

Bit overcast and bit breezy mate but nothing threatening at all. Jeez poor JKH does a lot of hard running and spread for minimal reward.

Skills has started off a bit sloppy.. Salem, Vanders, Tmac missing kicks. Fritz and just oozes serious class with his kicking skills. As i type this i must say there's been a bit too many sloppy kicks for my liking.. hopefully it improves as the session goes by.

Now doing some what looks like 80% run throughs. Hunt in the footy boots doing what looks like 400m timed sprints. Joel Smith is on the other side of the ground getting worked over by the rehab crew. Seems to be moving well. Group has split into full ground drill now. Maxy, Flip and King doing ruckwork with Stafford.

Dom is in the group in front of me and he just looks like a dejected man.. In saying that his skills look very slick as is young Flippa!

Just got here. They've split into 3 groups and all doing what looks like ground balls/touch work. JKH looking clean on both sides of the body as is Gus. Groups swap to the next cones now.

No idea, moved to Melbourne recently and first time I've ever attended training down here. Thanks mate! You're a legend.

Brilliant.. Is it better to get off at Richmond station and then walk across??

Is there a session on today? If so i cannot find the time as i was planning on heading down to have a look.

MOD EDIT: @dazzledavey36 is answering questions throughout the thread.

Feel likes hes going to become the player thay Scott Thompson could have become if he had stayed at the dees. Proving what a bloody good player he'll become over the journey with us.

What about JKH? In hot form in the VFL and would surely add a bit of pace and skill on the outside?

I didnt watch the VFL game on the weekend, but would Bake be under serious consideration just to give us that extra speed and speed on the outside on the wider MCG? Do we bring him for Smith or play Vince ehos hsd the week off and will be fresh?

Look out for Kalani White few years.. Kid apparently has the goods to really thrive in a few years time.

Haha Green got the chop from both Carlton and North. Obviously cant coach to save himself. Not sure what hes doing these days?

Bugger..

Paul Amy @PaulAmy375 Won't be a surprise to see tall defender Declan Keilty get a debut for Melbourne this week. Was best in the VFL on Sat and has had a good year. And he'd be the third player drafted from Casey to take an AFL bow this year (after Bayley Fritsch and Oscar McInerney).

There are reports that hes done an ACL and which is potentially season ending. Which is a huge blow for Dunn who was playing great footy and on the verge of playing his first ever finals series.. Which also leads me to my next question.. did we get rid of Dunn too easily? My opinion is yes we did! We put all our basket into developing Oscar as our number 1 defender, but yet got rid of a experience and hardened defender who could have guided him and helped with his development. I'm still unsure on Oscar.. said this yesterday but he made McCartin look like Wayne Carey at times.. just seems slow to react and once the ball hits the ground hes Ben Holland paced. All the best to Dunny btw, was always a favorite of mine and still is.

I know hes just started playing WAFL level after having foot issues, but I'd sign Eric Mckenzie from West Coast on a 1 year deal. While we have Lever out, we need a hardened experience defender who can add leadership down back. Former best and fairest winner at the eagles and was Co Captain at some stage also. 196cm 100kg key back who would be handy until Lever comes back and Petty develops.
