Got there today and probably the last time before the new year. I concentrated on the new faces in the team that were at training today. Merry Christmas to all and I hope to bring you more in the new year leading up to the season of renewal. Go Dees.

Sorry guys, couldn't paste the link in IE and had to type it freehand. Opened the site in Chrome and was able to paste the link. Bloody Bill Gates %%$$@.

Should all be sweet now.

Enjoy.

Nice! Thanks! Can't believe how many of them that I didn't recognise! Would be nice if they had their numbers on the front & back of their training shirts!

Things I took out of the photos..

  • Tyson has a good size rig on him! I reckon he will turn into a big bodied midielder like Hodge.
  • Watts is starting to look like a footballer. Good signs.
  • Toumpas and Matt Jones have buked up and both look set for big years.
  • Salem looks really focused. Hope he is training well. Need to put on a little bit of size but im not expecting big things from him next year. Ps he puts Garry Lyon to shame in the most hairiest department! Lucky he waxes his legs.
  • Cross and Vince will add hard matured bodies into our midfield. Good signs too come. Cross looks unbelievably fit!
  • Georgiou has a big frame on him already.
  • Harmes looks like he has a big body on him already? I thought I read he weighed in the 76 kg? by the looks of that he must be already in the 80s, has massive legs!
  • Spencer is a monster! He could seriously kill someone on the footy field with his frame.

Excuse my ignorance, but who is the blond kid getting all of the air time?

It is James Harmes. One of our new rookies.

Thanks... he seems to have a pretty impressive vertical leap.

Loved the pics and much appreciate the effort . I was, however, a bit disturbed at times at the likeness in some shots of recruit Georgiou to Jordan Gysberts .

I loved the quick fire shots of kicking actions. A very balanced Jack Watts with a copybook kicking action, until he gets to the follow through! What is it with so many modern footballers swinging their leg across the body in the follow through? It is a simple thing. 1. move straight toward target. 2. While in motion drop ball from one hand as close to foot as is practical. 3. Follow through with foot toward target. This really frustrates me. Someone go get Barry Hall - best kicking action ever

I am a developing a very quick man-crush on Cross. He looks so focused and intent all the time.

Every year I am reminded that I would hate to face Frawley for tackling practice. He seriously is a monster now.

Howe wrestling with Miller. Oh what is that, maybe they are teaching him how to use his body in marking contests which is a huge weakness of his. Surely not actual proper skills of the game training.

Can't believe you are seriously questioning Watts' kicking action. Who cares? He's by far the most consistent, accurate, pinpoint kick in our team.

Loving the photos mate, thanks so much.

On a side note: Has The Toump got some ink going on, on the back of his left tricep? Or maybe it's something else.

Georgiou looks like he might have eaten Gysberts...he's about twice his size.

Not too many skinny kids on our list anymore, based on those pictures; we're finally starting to look like a proper team.

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
