The Age's Ronny Lerner reports that "the Christmas turkey has been digested and the New Year's sparklers have been tucked away for another year. It's time for the AFL's 18 teams to return to work."

It's uncertain whether turkey forms part of the paleo diet but it will sure be interesting to see how the boys look upon their return to training for 2015 tomorrow morning at Gosch's Paddock.

Hopefully, our regular crew of track watchers will be on hand to let us know.

AFL teams return to preseason training with injuries under control

MELBOURNE

Given the Dees' player development has been pushed back to the Stone Age in the last decade, it's perhaps fitting they have adopted a form of paleo diet this pre-season to increase their energy levels. But the light is certainly visible at the end of their long and dark tunnel and new recruits Heritier Lumumba, Jeff Garlett, Sam Frost and Ben Newton have made positive starts to their careers at Melbourne. Jack Watts (groin) and Jack Trengove (foot) have been the only major injury concerns. The Demons resume training on Monday.

Here's hoping that Jack Trengove's tricycle is working magically and that his rehab is ahead of schedule.

Ventured down today with two boys in tow (got there late, around 10.00 am). From what I could see, the session was quite demanding. Running sprint drills followed by full field running drills incorpor

I see under the Gold Coast entry that O'Meara is in doubt for round 1 and Ablett's resumption of contact work looks delayed.

Doesn't hurt our chances.

Looking forward to the training reports, set to kick off with a time trial.

Should be a good morning for training.

Partly cloudy and temperatures at about 17 - 20 in the morning.

I think I'll be there. I have Man Flu at the moment and don't want to spread the germ around.

I may stand over on the Punt Road side no one goes there.

Better still, why not mosey across to Collingwood's training and give them a dose? :lol:

Can anyone confirm it will be at Goschs? Weren't they off to Casey to avoid the Asian cup drama?

The MFC site is silent on this *.

Upcoming open training sessions:

Friday 19th December - Gosch's Paddock - 9.15am

Saturday 17th January - Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex - 9.00am

All other training sessions are closed sessions.

* also somebody should tell them to change the links banner. It's now 2015 so it should be "News 2015"

NOTE: CONFIRMED GOSCH'S PADDOCK 9.15AM

Let's not go there. Memories of our performance against an undermanned Saints in round 1 last year are still clearly etched In my mind.

And how about this Friday? I'll be passing thru town and it'd be great to see the team train.

Yes, but they are also at Casey I'm sure for part of January for the Asian Cup/Tennis.

I guess we will find out tomorrow.

How is it possible to have a closed session at Gosch's? Or are the other sessions during the week elsewhere?

From the public it's not. Hence why they've had a couple of sessions else where at stages when they were doing obvious tactical drills. But they can designate them as closed sessions and that bans media and other clubs from attending.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    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
