Who is the new forwards coach, out there warming them up?

Clarry looking good in the warm-up. Joviality with others, kicking with intention and skill. Hoping he is back to dominating in crowded areas, and playing with some freedom without Goody's expectations.

I think it is the safest place to kick from. If they miss no hit to ego, get it and you hear the accolades. Miss from 30 meters out on an a small angle, higher expectations and takes work, and repetition. Those with a good process are working hard on craft, usually the seniors, and forwards. The youngsters are on the boundary having a good time. I think they are given plenty of leeway at these pregame and post game runs. Prefer that than soccer.

No hint of sub or positions, as there was no structure to todays run.

Most of the players came out of AAMI grouped together, usually they are out higgledy-piggledy. Troy Chaplin last into the shed. Quite a few friends and family of the players, are down here. Plenty of dew on the ground making them concentrate on ball use. I heard they have a business as usual kind-of attitude. They appeared to be similar to last week's Captain's Run, of keeping it all in house, not much emotive or outward looking. I could feel a bit of relief from them as they stepped onto Gosch's for their first public outing since the “decision”. The young ones had a boundary lap, with Tracc joining them. Fritta and Clarry hanging out together. Salo and Rivers doing run throughs. Melky, lots of good work goal kicking. Plenty of them having a go from the opposite side of Gosch's, on the boundary, doing the highly skilled attempts at goal. The leadership group did little but congregate centrally, and chat. Gawn, Chandler, Tmac, and Viney, Radford not far away from them. Bassett with the goal kicking group, Williams must have followed Casey up to Brisbane. Jones who is looking very fit, getting around to a few of them. Chaplin, started with a chat and some instructions to Adams, got around to some others and appeared very relaxed and ready for it. The track-watchers think it is Buckley to lead us, there was a rumour he was behind a tree here, getting a sneaky, early look.

melbournefc.com.auOfficial AFL Website of the Melbourne Football ClubOnly one I've seen down at the Gosch’s training area is Green, unless unrecognisable when they are there.

Yes, Paxy was great, running both ways. Looking fit and making lots of our connections. Put her in best. Also hope Hore is OK, she is so important to us.

Melb 8.4 52 crows 5.8 38 Start of the 4th, they are looking tired, as it turns into a scrap. Melbourne push it into their 50 and hold it there. Crows tried a few times to sling, the Dees backline stood firm and pushed the ball forward again. Good hit out for them. Ebert and O'hehir did well in their first run. Johnson couldn't find enough ball. Great to see Wotherspoon playing, needed the run. Mahony bit of a ball magnet, needs to do better with it. Will be better for the run as she adjust to the pace. Jatczak has a chance to be listed with us. Marks and competes well. Unsure about Dethridge's game, hopefully some learnings. Hore, McNamara, Hanks, Zanker, and Chaplin, best, with Fitzsimon, Pearce, Purcell, and Heath not far behind, though in and out of it.

3 quarter time 7.1 43 to 5.7 37 Crows dominated the quarter early again, creting some easier opportunities to goal. We responded late, with some pressure turning it and straight kicking to keep our lead after they evened the score. Good turn around so as to wrestle back the momentum.

They eventually got going after Crows had multiple entries in the 50. Good movement with short hit ups and getting the ball into better scoring positions. McNamara with plenty of possession, Heath tackling and covering the ground, Jatczak with some important marks, Ebert with a good start. Ist quarter Melb 12 Crows 3 Straight goal kicking, Melb 31 Crows 5 at half-time Crows dominated the early part of the 2nd quarter, backline doing enough to restrict and pressure them. We had some slings of the half-back (Chaplin) that created one on ones in the fwrd 50, but couldn't mark it. Then the experienced players got more involved, Hore, Hanks, Paxman later in the quarter as we kicked 3. 3 quarter time 7.1 43 to 5.7 37 Crows dominated the quarter early again, creting some easier opportunities to goal.
