Mitch Clark & Jack Trengove back in full training today. Great to see & look to be moving well.

Great news. Hopefully no setbacks, and now just a matter of gaining match fitness. All Demonlanders please touch wood!

Clark, Dawes, Selwood, Howe, Byrnes, Kent/Davey, not a bad set of options looming for Round 1. Now we just need to get it out of the midfield like we did last weekend against Port but against their best 22 this time.

Good player Selwood, all of them. Viney the new version and Sellar is showing some promise as the forward ruck option.

A freudian slip. What were I hoping for really? Also, whilst on this thread, can anybody report from training this morning?

Maybe you took Deeoldfart's suggestion of "touching wood" a little too 'literally'?

Clark, Trengove and Gawn back in the main group! Trengove did maybe first half, Clark a bit more then they went behind the far goals. Gawn stayed in main training.

Didn't see Clisby, Kent or Mcdonald but they might have being doing rehab. Bail did running only. Sylvia just some laps. Viney didn't train for long either. No Dawes.

Just doing usual warm ups and drills mainly today. Great to see Mitch Clark up and about. Again I was a bit disappointed by the skill execution especially early. Seems like the players weren't 100% switched on. A group of 6 got taken away at one stage for some tackle training. Sensible stuff with the coach (?tackling coach) being very specific and focussing on watching the feet and then pinning an opponent with your shoulders by bending your back and getting lower. Worked with Dom Barry in particular to point out how much stronger your tackle is if you bend your back and get your shoulder into and opponent and really wrap them up instead of just using your arms!

Good, the work done so far started to show dividends on the weekend. We could at least be up there as the strongest tackling side by end of season and this will translate to wins.

Yep, the tackling against PA on Sunday was superb from most players.

I thought Gawn had done his hammy and was out for 4-6?

He's fine - I spoke to him at Family Day, he said he'd play Rd1 but obviously not AFL - said he was ready to go but they are being cautious. Will make a HUGE difference to our team when fit - we really need him up and about.

Max is a big lad and has been out of action for a long time. In addition, he will eventually be called upon to fill the demanding role of a ruckman so he needs to get the right conditioning before he gets thrown into the fray. If it takes an extra couple of weeks before we see him in action then so be it. Players who are 208cm tall don't grow on trees and I reckon he's going to be important for us in the future. Full credit to the club for the way it's handling our injured players and our youngsters.

Sounds like great news all 'round today. I am absolutely thrilled to see Clark and Tregove taking part in the main group, even if it's not yet for a full session. Also great to see Gawn getting back into it, although I would prefer we take it slowly with him. I'd rather get him 100% right now as opposed to pushing him and having to wait another year.

Yes, I was there for most of the morning and a warm one it was too.

Apart from seeing the welcome return of Trengove and Clark, there were a few missing including Bleese.

thought the drills were a bit different too. The concentration seemed to be on running at full speed and foot and hand passing, then they practised after a few minutes doing interchanges also at full pace. Interesting in the light of the debate about the limits on interchange in the future.

They also had the ruckman Gawn, Jamar, and Spencer doing some high marking in competition with one another. I think Maxy is easily the most skilled of those three. He will be great when he returns, but i accept WJ's caution about getting him absolutely right before we throw him in the deep end. I hope we will see him on regular first ruck duties by mid year.

Also because of the interchange infringement that cost us a 50m penalty and goal last weekend (I seem to recall ...)??

    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

    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
