Most of the squad trained, including Viney who did a bit of rehab running and drills with Nev Jetta, Sam Frost appeared on the Trengove trolley, only missing Petracca, Trengove, Kent

Nev Jetta is totally [censored] off he can't get a crack at Ballantyne

The drills were as per the norm now, lots of ball movement, with more or less defenders, then a few stoppage drills where tackling was encouraged

At the end Watts did a bit more tackling practice

When rucks trained separately with Stafford, it was only the recognized rucks, Jamar, Spencer, Gawn, Fitzpatrick and King

Towards the end squad was split into groups, McKenzie was with the backs, as was Hunt, the rest as it says on the tin

Tyson trained strongly, Dawes had a bit of running repairs done with physios, but finished strongly also

McCartney didn't seem to be there today

I asked Ben Mathews how many players would we put on Fyfe, answer 18

For those who like the look of him, ANB has pulled up really well from his first two runs, looking forward to Sunday

Any questions, feel free, pics on Twitter Demonpk soon

Thank god Tyson is OK.

I guess if Jetta feels right, he will only miss the one?

Just tell him he'll be fresher for taking him on in the finals!

Nev told Jade Rawlings he was right to go this weekend on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday, club is being ultra cautious, exactly the same as they did with Roh Bail, Nev just has to wear it, but understands

Sucks that Nev can't play. He's one of the reasons I love watching the new-look Dees.

The best parts are when his opponents get frustrated and start doing stupid [censored]. You just KNOW he'd do it to Ballantyne.

Then Nev won't get brain damage by the time he's 30.

I find this strange. Maybe they will give Dawes and Pedersen some training privately.

Or we are actually planning to play Spencer and Jamar in the same side (yikes).

I tried my best with quite a few to see which way we were going to go, and got a straight bat from everybody, loved it, no idea

What if Spencer does play, he has the tank to run around all day with Sandilands, he just has to compete, which he is capable of, even Sandilands would get a bit tired with over 100k bashing into him the whole game

Same with McKenzie, if he gets a role, would give it everything he had

Talk of finals outside of pre-season? Can we do that on here?

Thanks TDI

Would be interested in your gut feel on who your pick is to join Grimes in this weeks team based on todays training ?

Or have you been sworn to secrecy ?

As I put above, tried to glean who it was, got straight bat from both Spencer and Pedo, nothing for Pig and missed Jordie, asked a couple of others, nada, wouldn't expect anything less

Personally whatever way the FD go they will be doing it for a reason, I am not bothered, I know from the last couple of weeks, the 22 we send out will go out determined to play the same brand of aggressive footy coz it works, and even though everybody tends to denigrate the 4, at least all 4 are pretty agressivve in their game

Who talks about finals during the pre-season?

Pre-season is reserved for talk about the following year's draft.

I'll take that at this time of our journey..

I'd be [censored] off if it happened in the GF.

They have Clarke.

The issue isn't Spencer in the ruck. I'd love to see 2 rucks. They can then both play a really physical game and run and spread giving us a marking option around the ground.

The issue is that one or both of Jamar or Spencer would have to play multiple minutes forward and neither of them offer much attacking or defending up forward.

They have really been working with them over the pre season on the very thing, Jamar hasn't been that bad when resting forward and Spencer has been getting better at it for Casey, even had 2 goal assists on Sunday, one from a strong mark in the 50

Yes will be interesting to see who comes in given the oppositions ruck. I think Spencer Jamar combo is a double liability. I have my doubts over Spencer although Pedo proved himself last year so maybe Spencer can do the same. I think Pedo is less of a liability as he can play a genuine forward role and just relieve Jamar a few times however not sure if he can 2nd ruck against Freo. Could Spencer maybe be sub and come on at half time. Dawes and can relieve Jamar a couple times and that means we don't have two Ruckman on the ground the whole game.

I think Spencer Jamar combo is something Id like to see us live with this year.

If we can win in the middle and provide another, admittedly mediocre, tall option forward, its a team that would be tough to play against for many teams.

We cant keep hoping the Russian can do it on his own.

Spencer is as ready as he is going to get. Exciting.

Too risky if you get an injury.

My guess is because it's Sandilands and Clarke they'll go with Spencer. If it rains they might go for Riley. Brute contested ball winner in the wet.

Tdi, do you know if Trengove is back running?

    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

    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

    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
