Clearly very few people from the central suburbs made the trip.It was very much a local promotion

Don't you think that is the object of the exercise?

Well I thought the exercise had a dual purpose - but it was in realty a function for Casey Demons. There was a stand selling local produce - and Chris Connolly took the opportunity to buy several week's supply of veges!

I did expect to see more people there = but perhaps my expectations were unrealistic for a Friday evening just before Xmas.

For I W-S, I note that Col Garland worked out with Watts and co and looked quite comfortable. It was also good to see Strauss out there - working hard despite a wrist brace.

I can't think of anybody who wasn't on the field doing something except Healy who ran a few laps and didn't look happy. Bruce was with the group on the modified program - but he looked a bit proppy. Others in the modified group were Fitzpatrick,PJ, Meeson, Newton and McNamara

There's a reason Watts wasn't training. It's a cracker.

I'm sure its just a calculated move to stop him from over-training.

So what happens for the next 4 weeks? They finished training at Casey last friday. There's a camp in Mansfield this week and i believe they have 2 weeks off over christmas. If training resumes early in January then they have 6 weeks to get fit before a possible intra club match at Casey Fields on Saturday Feb 13.

Maybe it wasn't a bad time for Aussie Wonna to do his hamstring. He can rest an recuperate for 4-5 weeks and still get a few weeks of training and match play prior to the first NAB cup match at Freo on 21 Feb.

I agree regarding Wonaeamirri. But still, it is an interruption for him personally, he could do without. Let's hope it is nothing too serious (ie.6-8 weeks). It would be great to see him up & running in all the drills mid January and ready for a NAB Cup to his return to senior footy.

Watts did not train with the main group at all.... which I found disappointing. He was with the group returning from injury - so was Scully - mainly doing handball drills. They also did reflex work with a tennis ball. Matched against Gawn he certainly didn't look like a big man - but he was energetic and enthusiastic throughout - and he pulled in some blinders when Kelly O'Donnell smashed a tennis ball anywhere near him!

Got to have soft hands when doing reflex work with a tennis ball.

Missed you at Casey, do you have the numbers to storm the board yet?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
