Anyone else see Dawes 2 grab a simple mark on the news just then? Cringe worthy

Never seen a player fumble a ball on the first day of preseason before...

With Tappy gone Kent is probably our biggest weight/height ratio. I wouldn't say he's fully trimmed down looking at him live but he's progressively getting their and for November he's in good condition. Come March with no interruptions he'll be good.

All those AFL photo's are chosen to be impressive.

Salem is still very thin in the upper body. Photo's flatter him. He was working hard to finish the boxing and push ups. As soon as the footies came out he was a class above though.

As I said earlier Toumpas live is the most impressive in terms of more muscle than what you are used to seeing.

Frost is more lean and athletic in person than the photos. But broad. He and Tom McDonald are certainly much taller and longer than Dunn and much bulkier than Garland. I wonder if the twin towers will work.

Glad for JKH. He was amazing in last years preseason. Just showed everyone up with his enthusiasm for training. I hope he can keep it up now it's not new and now he'll be doing more of it. If today was anything to go by they will be literally and figuratively belted by the boxing trainer.

Sorry to rain on your parade old chap, but spoke to Christian afterwards, he has put on a couple of kilos, and standing next to him he is bigger than last year, they want him to gain strength rather than more size, he and Jack Viney were hardly sweating, both enjoyed the session

Hey C&B, can you bring back Olivia, I really miss her.

Sorry mate, we had some good times together but it had to come to an end. My heart belongs to Naomi now.

I thought Sam Newman wore a Sam Newman mask & wig.

You'll have your opinion I'll have mine. No doubt he's a couple of kilos heavier. That's the point of the holiday period. Keep the legs ticking over and do a bit of weights but without the grueling energy sapping games that often make young players lose condition. There was carry on based on your post and from one picture that Salem is all of a sudden significantly bulked up like he's the build of an experienced player (or Jack Viney) and he's not. I'm keen to see them do some more running or even better a time trial to see if he's up there with the midfielders. He's a hard kid so I'm not bothered by strength anyway, he'll build that up, if he has a good preseason on track his fitness will build that's the most important.

Ahh. The first signs of pre season. Posters squabbling and becoming frustrated with Saty. Currently not ignored for me given the change in name. I wonder how long that will last? Looking forward to the reports.

I trust Saty implicitly.

Maybe because he looks like Santa Claus.

Only he brings the gift of training reports for the good little children and moral condemnation to the naughty.

I like everything saty brings to DL.reports,inside mail,common sense and brevity.

Plus that beautiful style of upsetting people by throwing thier own mud back at them.

Almost forgot,his love for the mighty Dees.

We love our Devil Inside.

    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 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)
