The other thing from today which I thought was quite bizarre, I saw Saty on the sidelines on other side of the field taking photos then he walked off and hid behind a tree ...

Don't know and don't want to know what was going on there.

He saw Nev Jetta hit a bullet like pass and went behind a tree. You can make your own assumptions from there...

wrong on so many levels ( but a little bit funny)

Self reflection is important.

Best get a diary.

Why not a mirror?

Was it a bright sunny day? Probably finding some shade so he can check the images on the camera's screen.

All eyes possibly on Hogan , though id be content with a "good solid year" as opposed the heroic saviour scenario. Its actually Dawes im thinking might be due a really good season.

Great reporting btw..cheers

- I know this may offend, but on what I've seen to date with Hogan he is not our superstar this year. He is just a kid still learning. He will bring a contest and another option up forward but will not star, for this year at least.

Finally, some sanity.

On the Hogan topic, there was a priceless moment at the end of one of the drills where Hoges happened to have the ball on the 50. Watts and the few of the boys started to get into him saying the sirens gone and we're 5 points down....

He nailed it easily!

He trained fully today ?
I know he was inside Monday I was talking to Mahoney about it. Do you think they will risk him v Bulldogs?

What about Brayshaw?

Yep, did full session when I was there. Must admit though, he looks to be a while off being up to standard as he made a few errors, but may have been an off day.

Don't encourage him Nut, he'll think he is funny, at least mine is in my trousers and not on my shoulders

Was sheltering from the wind actually, at my age you have to be careful about rheumatism and arthritis

Missing from today Howe and Kent (who I notice is not named, got nothing when I asked)

Jack Trengove was out waling laps, big smile for my photo for Twitter, said everything is still tracking fine

Got a big thumbs up from Jesse Hogan, did nearly the whole session, did not look troubled at all, laughed when I told him not to miss any sessions as it caused a pandemic of concern

The leadership group pulled all the players into a group during one of the ball movement drills, it was shithouse, coaches stood aside, words were said and after that it improved

Nathan Jones killed Angus Brayshaw in the goal kicking comp AGAIN, told him it was starting to verge on workplace bullyiing

Any questions feel free

Sometimes he tries too hard, bit like Viney in his first year, when he just relaxes he looks like a top player

No pressure, though.

(I know, I shouldn't.)

Thanks TDI, how were the rucks travelling? Going up against big Willy this weekend, would like to see him convincingly beat!!

Without meaning to tempt fate, I think that it's a miracle that we have so many participating in full training at this time of the year. At least that's one true indicator of where we are at and it gives cause for hope.

I also thought that McCartney's session was illuminating and positive. At one point, he was giving specific instructions to Tommy Mc after a play and, in spite of Tom not wanting to make eye contact, BM laboured the point until he got the acknowledgement he was after. Sometimes a player can think that he doesn't need coaching...he is wrong.

Really looking forward to the game this week. Hope everyone is aware that they can get a free AFL live pass to watch it on their phone or tablet....works well.

Any news on Vince Saty? I know he joined some training but just wonder if there is any other news.

No it's not, it's just the third year of Misson and Co, he promised

He did bits and pieces and then worked his arse off on far side of the paddock running with Shannon Byrnes, not far away I reckon

As for Howe, again not a medical or fitness expert, Howie said the issue was only identified with scans rather than him knowing he had damaged his hammy and something about it being inside, a sort of not normal hamstring injury, think this is leading to the ultra caution, if somebody would like to be a bit more enlightening feel free

It's actually Misson's fourth year.

Yes but he said it would take the next three years, we are now starting to see the difference, when you speak to the players they can't speak highly enough of the fitness staff now, all are feeling stronger, faster and can maintain the rage for a lot longer

    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. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
