No Jones, Warnock, Gysberts Green

As well as Frawley, Campbell, Newton, Wonaeamirri, Tapscott, Davis and Fitzpatrick... and, of course, Davey, Jurrah and Bennell

Green may be on a modified program because of his age, and the 3 all stars must be fit, so that leaves 10 players not ready for the game. I thought the injury list was less than that.

I'm surprised Jones isn't playing. Funny story actually, on Monday morning i was in the city, and I saw the Dees training at Gosch's paddock so I got off the train and watched them do their private training session. Unfortunately it finished soon after I got there, but afterwards Max Gawn and Nathan Jones were doing intense running drills and I said hi to them. Jones looked fighting fit

Where's the funny bit??

I'm not too upset that 10 players are not fit enough to play the intra-club game 2 months out from the start of the season proper. Especially considering the guys who aren't playing.

Warnock, Gysberts, Tapscott, Davis, Campbell and Fitzpatrick are not in our best 22. I want all of them to get back playing and improving at vfl level asap, but it really doesn't impact too heavily of round 1. Gysberts is probably the best of that lot and he's recovering from a soft-tissue injury so he should easily be fit by the nab cup.

Only 4 players are not playing intra-club game from our best 22- Jones, Green, Frawley, Wonaeamirri. Wona is not injured, he just needs to catch up on fitness after some family tragedy over the summer. Green and Jones should easily be right for nab cup as far as i understand. Only Frawley is in doubt for round 1, and he should play by round 3.

Of those not playing, only Green and Frawley are genuinely critical players to our team and structures.

The real issue is going to be keeping the rest of the squad fit before round 1. Last year we lost Morton, Sylvia and Jurrah just before round 1, and it really impacted us. Hoping for more luck this time around

well hopefully they make it a twilight hit out. i'm flying in to Melbourne on friday afternoon, so it'd be awesome if it's say 6.00pm, olympic park, with a bbq for the families.

as good as it is to watch the boys as much as possible, its only a hot out and they are probably not too fazed about it fitting in with the public as they are trying to get game plan right etc. just a thought

We would be remiss if we didn't thank the MFC for making the team lists available in advance of tomorrow's game.

As indicated by WJ it's been a running sore at some other clubs where no lists or inadequate lists are privded to spectators.

Thanks to the MFC we can download the numbers and have them for reference at tomorrow's game.

Yes, and a good touch that the MFC players are wearing their regular numbers making it even less likely that there'll be any confusion.

I can still remember the Jack Watts lookalike ring in from Casey last year who wore the number 4.

47 - Luke Beehugo (Casey)

Luke should be a player of interest. He's a 20 year old half forward who hails from Darwin and came down last year to play for a rejuvenated Garfield in the Ellinbank League. Now he's at a VFL club in a praccy match with AFL players.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can get down this morning and provide an update and hopefully some pics.

Best of luck to the boys, just get through with no injuries!

Or how about one club who closed their intra club match to the public? I can only surmise that they want to sell more memberships before their fans get to see their list actually play.

Ricky Petterd looks like he might have tweaked his hammy.

and so it begins, some players just dont have it

I was talking about not having the luck, not talent. Not that we know if anything is actually wrong with Ricky, but he tends to struggle to string together more than a handful of competitive matches.

ah right, my apologies

my faith in the injury prone has been reinstated with seeing Sylvia, Rivers and Moloney on the park consistently

the other side of the spectrum is McLean. Yikes.

    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

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
