Fine moring this morning

Everybody on the track except Hunt, Petracca, Trengove

Lots of stoppage drills with more and less defenders again

Lots of ball movement drills again, with more and less defenders

Match simulation, not split into AFL or Casey, just three teams

McCartney was still working with Max King ad Max Gawn when everybody else had left, including me

Amusing bit at the start, Shannon Byrnes produced a Dallas Cowboys footy helmet for Nev Jetta to wear after three belts to the head in consecutive weeks, wore it on warm up lap until he spotted the cameras

Actually you are right, couldn't figure out who was missing, thanks, no he didn't, old age, need the prompting

Only fluff chap, with Dean Kent, Nev and Fitzy,..and of course Salem about the soccer...... Nathan Jones had his game face on

They are never down, there are too many upbeat characters now, the drills were very good today, just the occasional [censored] up but that happens in games as well, another solid two hour session

Saty I watched Fellini's Satyricon last night, now that is a weird movie, grotesque! The Devil Inside, dark. No accounting for taste I suppose. Thanks for the training report.

Are they resting Brayshaw during the week a bit more since he has been playing or does it seem like he is coping alright with the loads.

Nah, Brayshaw was one of the best today, except at the end when he took Jonesy on in a goal kicking comp again, must be slightly masochistic, he must also be doing some serious weights, his body shape is changing every time I see him

A few observations

1. jones and vince didnt join in at the start. I can understand Vince, but it did make me wonder if there's something nqr with Jones

2. we have so far to go... McCarthy was teaching them how to use numbers around the ball, how to fill space etc etc. Its a long way from ingrained for some of ours.

3. H. runs at full intensity in the drills. Not all do.

4. Our skills are variable ... some cant hit the target in the drills not sure how they'll do it in the heat of battle

Brayshaw will be a beauty, by the way!

Jones was going full tilt at the end, I asked him as he walked off just for the sake of it, he said he was fine, Vince did 3/4 of the drills, Watts also didn't do everything, but said he was ok,

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
