Good news is Kent was back on the track, doing laps, impressive scar and beard.

JKH and Salem didn't do much, Dawes was in hands of rehab guys.

Oscar Mc and Hunt also seemed to do short session, so did Tyson and Garland, means nothing these days.

Jetta and Viney did whole session and then worked with fitness guys on running, Nev said both were being hammered by fitness staff so they could step straight back in.

Most of the drills today were about ball movement again, Roos and Goodwin were very very very vocal today.

They actually thought Fitzy had broken his neck at the weekend, did have a bit of tingling in limbs, was impressed by the duty of care shown by everybody, had scans, everything is fine, did whole session.

Stood right next to Watts and Bail who were having a goal kicking comp for the prize of a coffee, Watts said nearest the middle of the goal and then proceeded to drill it through the middle from 50, Bail put his through as well but slightly to the left.

Any questions feel free, have put a few pics on Twitter Demonpk.

Fitzy & Newton not listed in the Scorps squad. Definite ins?

Thanks TDI

Who knows these days, Fitzy played a straight bat when I asked him, Newton actually looked fresher, if that makes sense

Any idea of the team TDI?

Out of Gawn, Fitzy, Riley, Newton, Stretch, Toumpas, Bail did any particular 4 do more training in one spot or the other? You've got 2 hours to take an educated guess?

Any ideas for positions of Grimes, Lumumba (Wing or half back), Fitzy (back/ruck?) or otherwise?

How was the voice/energy? I hope the guys have shook off a bad few weeks and can go in confident.

I was there for about an hour and was struck with what seemed to be a bit of a change in atmosphere by comparison with past sessions. To me, it seemed the players were much less intense and, as a result, seemed to be actually enjoying the session. In my view, a very pleasant change. I think it's important, given the unrelenting pressure of playing in an unsuccessful team, that the players still maintain a level of enjoyment. At the moment, if you disregard the money (?), there is nothing other than pride, love of club or the team to motivate them. If we are to hold onto the good players, we need to try and make sure that we satisfy their needs as well as our supporter aspirations.

Fitzy was minding Pedersen in the ball movement drills, but then Terlich was on Hogan, so I wouldn't read too much into it, as jimcor said the players were prretty upbeat, they always go in confident, they wouldn't be AFL players if they didn't, it is maintaining that confidence for 4 quarters that is the issue

good to hear jimcor and good to hear Roosy being vocal.

I'm glad Newton is looking fresh, eager to see more of him on the weekend. Want him to add to the shortlist of consistant Dees this season.

Cheers TDI and jimcor much appreciated

The Reverend gave the boys a pep up as shown on 7 news tonite

TDI has Nev been given the green light for contact again at training?

Timed Kent on one of his laps: 1 min and 44.43 secs - was moving very nicely.

Tyson and Dawes were both watched carefully (obviously) but Dawes finished the stronger and ran some pretty tidy laps also.

JKH and Salem strolled laps and did nothing more that I saw.

Interesting match sim drills concentrated on stoppages and throw-ins - one team in training jumpers, one in yellow vests and two in orange vests who played transition for both teams. Grimes kicked brilliant goal on the run...if only he could do it in a game. Billy Stretch scrounged a cracker as well.

In fact, for goal kicking it seems none could miss. Even Spencer and Bail were in on the act.

That would be a nice change and a f@ckin miracle.
