Briefly;

  • Didn't see Colin Sylvia - only 'unexpected' absentee I noticed;
  • Jamar mainly running laps;
  • Jetta & Davey with main group, looking good;
  • Jones & Jurrah (??) with rehab group mainly doing sprints;
  • Rivers & Sellars not with main group either.  I think they went inside early after practising ball-handling on the boundary;
  • Magner & Couch separated from main group after half the session and were just hand-balling to each other on the boundary;

Bit of goal kicking practice at the end - not very impressive from a lot of the players.

Nicholson's attitude is always impressive in that there is something irrepressible that he brings to the team in training and on the field.  Jones is another who normally doesn't seem to have lost his enjoyment  just being there.  Watts has begun to look more serious and focussed but I suspect it might be because he cops  so much if he looks as if he's having a good time!  He was having a very serious chat with Neeld at the end of training. Good to see as I think they are the two most significant people for the MFC future.

I like the Neeld/Watts.

Was Brad Green training with the main group by any chance?

Not the only talent-oozing pick 3 to miss a training session this morning :P

Will be interesting to see if Sellar comes up. Rivers and Garland might both return to defense if he doesn't.

I believe he went for a sleep-over at a mate's place ;-)

Green was with the main group and trained with enthusiasm as always. While Watts was listening intently to Neeld, Bates was having a similar type of conversation with Neil Craig. Also, I wonder if Rivers is in doubt given that his was seemingly only a light training session this morning. Dave Misson was also doing some one-on-one training/assessment with Cook & Williams (I think that's who they were).

Very good Hardtack.

The only problem is it is sort of believeable

but hed probably get a cab nowadays lol

After being a regular at training, the fact that a few don't seem to do much is not an indication, at this stage of the season it is into managing, I have never managed to see the full squad train since the beginning of the preseason

Any scouts watching will have no idea either

Apparently this has been a common occurence for a number of weeks with Cook especially, probably to improve his pace and initial sprint off the mark

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
