Gawndy the Great

Laurie play a on from set shot and goals for the whites for his second. Couldn’t see player on the mark but clearly they were asleep at the wheel.

Our starting defenders getting schooled. Not sure I’m happy with their intensity.

Great transition work from Rivers, McVee and Bowey who get it to McAdam with a bullet pass. Unfortunately McAdam not familiar with the wind patterns at Casey and fangs the kick bad.

Salem has been doing plenty of running and has not participated in match sim along with Hunter and Sparrow.

Looking powerful :)

Fritta with a beauty contested mark after a blues contest with on the wing. Caleb took a two tackles getting to Trac on the outside who the delivered a bullet to Fritta who slotted it through for the Blues 6th.

TMac’s hairstyle is just awful.

ANB mark and play on goal in a similar style to Gawn in game against Geelong in PF of ‘21.

Laurie another for the whites with a mark snap from deep f50 on the boundary after a short pass from the McAdam.

THE macdaddy gets the whites on the board with a snap from congestion.

Blues 13 to 0. Trac gets a back half turnover and powers through -handball to outside and JVR assist to chin for a goal. This is full intensity.

Mach sim time. Blues vs whites. May (whites) finding hard to exit d50

In the match sim right now. So maybe just fitness - actually I don’t think it’s him. One of the other tall lads I’m not familiar with #43

Next drill is a kicking drill where numerous lines from half back handball or shot kick through centre square with minimal defensive pressure. Coming into HF with quick play ons and ultimately a kick into f50 to leading forward. Clearly a focus on quicker ball movement and lowering the eyes into the forward line. Maysie caught my eye again with his agility and unimpeded movement

Lever looking unhampered in movement but Petty a little unconvincing. May has a spring in his step and looks to be gliding over the ground…

Colt as his namesake, breaking tackles and looking powerful.

Gus I full contact tackling drills - doesn’t look concerned one iota.

Choco had a crack at the umps in some tackling drills telling them to pay frees as they see fit. “ we are paying you guys to pay em” he yells.

A fair turn out today. I’d say close to if not over 150 fans.

Got here late. Watching players warm up including umpires. Likely a match sim. Coaches going nuts with whistles. A few errant kicks otherwise pretty clean.

Likely a full knee replacement in the next few years. That knee is bone on bone.

For those that know my style, by default, im glass half empty but objective at the same time :D.

Im also planning to do my inaugural training attendance with my son. I hope its an open session. NEver been to Casey Fields - any tips on where to go and how best we can approach certain players for photos and signatures - im asking for my son :D (that's the cover story)

Do you know if that'll be an open session? Would love to head down with my son before school starts.

And its also another instance of disproportionate media coverage. Steven May says what he says at the BNF and its spoken about for days on end. Yet crickets on this? Absolutely nothing. We get savaged for some reason. what makes it even more confusing is that in a recent survey, Melbourne was about mid table when it comes to teams that other supporters cant stand, so its not like we are more despised by the broader AFL public.
