Thought I would venture down to junction this morning to have a look at the boys train.

Hadn't realised it was a closed session however so I was asked to leave about 30 mins in.

Here is what I saw for any interested:

* Blease and Bail both doing 100-200 meter run through's. (was good to see blease running strongly)

* Jones was doing a bit of an agility test and then did some kicking and marking. Looked to be moving well.

* Tapscott and Gawn were doing interval sort of training around the ground. Jogging and then sprinting etc.

The main group then came out.

* Jurrah was with them which excited me. Looked to be bouncing around.

* Sylvia was running fine.

I was then asked to leave by one of the staff. Definitely should have looked at the open session times on the site.

Anyway. Thought I would share it. Good to see those injured guys out there training and looking sharp.

Can't wait for Monday.

Go Dee's

Thanks alot for that stevetheman!

On the point on Blease and Bail....were they sprint run throughs? Or about 70% pace or so? If they were sprints, how did Blease's pace look compared to Bail?

Great to see Jones looked to be getting through what you would assume is a fitness test and that Sylvia didnt seem hindered at all. And great news about Jurrah. Cant wait for some Jurrahtime!

No they weren't flat out sprints.

Maybe around 70 %.

They had been doing them before I arrived and Blease finished before Bail but it was good to see him running well at that

pace after what has been said on here. He then went and did some stationary drills with a few other players like Newton and Meeson.

Good to see Sylvia running but again it's only training. Not sure if he will play on Monday.

Jones looked the goods from what I could see. That is the guess of an onlooker though so I am not saying he is a certainty by

any means !

Cheers mate. Really good to see Blease up and about. Hopefully be playing with Casey soon and get some solid game time up.

Although I am also pleased with the news that Blease seems to be up and about, I think a lot of people have seen too many sporting careers being tragically cut short after the player badly damaged/broke their leg or ankle.

I would prefer to err on the side of caution as well, I have spoken to him a couple of times and the Club is being ultra ultra cautious, hence with him disappearing off the rader at various times people have assumed the worse.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
