Missing were Petracca, Trengove, Frost, Kent, no shows JKH

Viney ran laps, Dawes did as well before joining in the session

Bit of running and agility work to warm up first

Lot of ground ball work

Then a bit of full length field ball movement, sides mixed

Nev Jetta not available this week

Jayden Hunt pulled up really well from his first hit out

Few in the hands of the physios during the session, vandenBerg, Newton, Dawes, Hogan (not unusual)

Jetta not available again? He must have really been knocked about. Was hoping that he might have been back this week.

Had a good chat to him, being directed by the medicos, is a dad with two young kids and if you have read anything about him, they come first, so doesn't want his health impacted, you may see him appear in a helmet, the last belt was the worst, if you look at the Howie mark, Nev wore Howie's knee right between the eyes

It's about the only impact Howe has had this year. And it took out a really important player for us. Cheers Jeremy!

Hopefully if Nev dons the helmet, it helps a bit. The science says it usually doesn't, but it's got to be better than nothing. You know the "player might go in harder" argument against helmet won't apply to him, he already goes in hard.

Not that it's at this point yet, but it would be totally balls if he ends up needing to pull the pin early due to excess concussions after all the work he's done to get up to scratch. Life's just not fair sometimes.

From what he said they may trial it, Roh Bail went through exactly the same thing, so the medicos have a base of knowledge to work from, he is not letting it get to him, there was another supporter I know who was at training today and she was getting the yearbook signed, Nev made a good play on how the concussion is affecting him whilst signing it, going as far as to deny he was in it, as he didn't remember getting the photo taken

Jamar???

How come they didn't trial the helmet with Bail, then?

He had the six weeks off, don't know whose suggestion it is, might be Nev himself, as I said might

Jamar???

The whole ruck division was present and correct, including Fitzpatrick and Pedersen working with Greg Stafford, but not Dawes

No JKH. Any reason?

I wore a helmet playing Rugby for my entire life and I can tell you that they do absolutely zilch for concussions. Stopped the cuts, but I was still groggy as a drunken sailor on many occasions.

don't know if this is so, but our main aim should be to build the list & make the right choices at this stage of our team development... so If Jetta has to miss another just to be safe, I'm OK with another player getting a chance to show if he's up to it, or not.

we have to shed some more players at years end & we are now into the meat of the season, where most players are up to speed now, so its the time IMO, to see who's able to cut 'the Keens Mustard' thus far, & who can't do it beyond here.

Cut 'em out, ride 'em in,

Ride 'em in, let 'em out,

Cut 'em out, ride 'em in

Well, it was a a padded helmet, didn't have a hard shell or anything. It wouldn't be much different to what he'd be expected to wear I wouldn't think, it he does wear one.

yes, these have been used before in the vfl/afl

certainly good for the cuts and self confidence

Some interesting safety ideas around here...

On the bright side, Jetta has a nicely shaped head for a helmet. :cool:

Is that like saying someone has a good head for radio?

Dunstall wore one for a few years after Earl Spalding fractured his skull accidentally. It didnt work for Jason either he has been speaking jibberish since he retired.

The Helmut would be on a hiding to nothing trying to protect that melon

    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

    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.
