You are not Robinson Crusoe on that one binman

It affects most Dees supporters at this time of the year to some extent

This thread has got me pumped - great reports, thanks. Love this time of year - last season is just a bitter memory and I'm fully recharged with optimism again.

Did Trenners get back into it for the intraclub? Plus any reports on Vince or Michie getting the ball.

Tyson didn't impress me too much in the circle work drill on Wednesday. He almost seemed bored with it. So glad he got involved in the match simulation.

Sounds like the plan is to be pretty fresh for the Richmond game but that's fine with me. It'll be early Feb, way too early to get carried away.

Trengove was pretty quiet in the intraclub, Vince probably could've done better, started at the stoppages but I saw him fumble. I'm not sure how Michie went in the game, but he seemed really confident running and kicking during the drills, vocal too

Very glad to hear Dean Kent took part in the match sim.

The way people have been talking it seemed he would be out long term and hasn't trained all summer.

I guess they were wrong.

Great report! Not only did I feel like I was there. I feel like we won a final. Got my adrenaline pumping. I'll have a drink of reality later but not before enjoying the positives.

Wasn't last seasons training threads also positive and we look good doing this and that?

Then round 1 come around and the rest is well history.

Hopefully it's a diff result this season and I will feel more relaxed once I c us being competitive for 4 quarters.

Trenners was fine. Just a bit of a rub and away he went.

Vince got a centre clearance but then undid all his good work with a poor kick IIRC. Michie didn't see too much of.

Tas, with Watts at centre bounces did he crack in or skirt the pack?

Also was Dawes at CHF or FF?

Watts did crack in to the centre bounces but in general play he skirted the packs.

Dawes was pretty much CHF in the drills today. Don't remember if he played the mini-game or not.

I was at a few training sessions last year and we weren't that good. Only bloke who thought we were really super amazing fantastic good was Neeld and that infamous 'training the house down' quote. Not going to lie but through these reports my rep will be on the line come the opening month of the season.

how long before the inevitable " WE GOT THIS" thread starts

Relax...

Seriously though even being at Docklands, Saints (who will be competing heavily for the spoon this year) minus Dal Santo, McEvoy and Milne should be a good first up hit out for us.

And Montagna, he is suspended. And milera (sp) Asada said he was naughty.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    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.
