As I said most of they players I asked think the Saints will go with McCartin, nobody there from recruiting to ask unfortunately, most agree it doesn't really matter anyway as the top 3 are all good so it is a win/win no matter which way it falls

Roos has as good as confirmed on the radio (3AW) this evening that we will be drafting Brayshaw and Petracca tomorrow. He made this claim on the basis that the interviewers were adamant that McCartin would be picked by St. Kilda. A decent midfield at last? Now all we need is to focus on another tall that might slip through to pick 40!

Oh good two more 18 yr olds for Demonland to regard as saviours unless of course they don't get 30+possies, kick 3 goals lay 6 tackles and look exceedingly good on camera in their post first senior game interview, unless Roos considers them ready in April, doubt we will see them except at Casey

As for the Tapscott question, the way it was answered, think he is gone,.....but who knows if there is nothing left in the rookie draft

Wish the guys would train more often. Reading training report posts is one of the more enjoyable parts of our footy year.

Thanks Saty/TDI, George, R&B etc.

If you promise to give them some breathing space and let them acclimatise to the club and their new surroundings for at least a couple of weeks, before you begin your usual oldest fanboy in the world routine and pester them from the boundary at training, then we promise not to judge them in their first few weeks of football..

It is just that it is more open now, I can ask the players or Dave Misson and get an answer, in the past it would be a mystery injury or illness, Misson said nothing is serious and it is November, only one who is 'serious' is Trengove, Spencer is a big, big unit so if he reported a bit of back soreness the alarm bells would ring, he was fine today. Harmes was absolutely gutted he got glandular put him back a few weeks, really impressed me that he said twice that he was going to work over the Xmas break to catch up

Hay Satyr (sorry, I can't get used to your new name), I respect what you are saying and that you are reporting on what Harmes is saying...but I have a question about the statement "he was going to work over the Xmas break to catch up". Do we believe all the other footballers (our team and all the others) won't be doing any training or fitness work over the Xmas break? So what does he mean? Is he going to go into the clubrooms to train during that time? If so, does that fit in with the players CBA?

Re: CBA - players get a couple of weeks off over the Christmas break, most (if not all) do some form of fitness training recommended by club staff. It'd be a similar situation to the younger players resuming training earlier than they should have this year, the players association got involved but nothing came of it because the players made the decision, they weren't told they had to do it.

So am i, so I will make sure I get pictures of the new recruits and put them on my Twitter account for all who want to see

before you begin your usual oldest fanboy in the world routine and pester them from the boundary at training....congratulations as well, that snide comment got you onto my list of posters I don't read

He was [censored] off he got glandular, felt he made real progress last season, coaching staff agreed, hence his second year, put him right back at the beginning of pre season again, hoping to get the weight back on in next week or two and have a program set he can follow over the Xmas break and catch up

    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

    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.

    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.
