Headed in this morning as 200m from home.

Not much to report early. Gus & H are out there and are looking good. Dunny has a heavily strapped knee. And during their first jog around the ground,

Jesse was at the back of the pack and not smiling.

Should I be worried???

Hard to tell. One of Demonland's rules is that if a player is smiling, he doesn't care enough or feel the pain of Melbourne supporters and should be traded. On the other hand, if he's not smiling that

Hard to tell. One of Demonland's rules is that if a player is smiling, he doesn't care enough or feel the pain of Melbourne supporters and should be traded. On the other hand, if he's not smiling that means he's unhappy and likely to leave at the end of the year.

I suggest you watch them train from behind.

Should have worn my glasses today, hard to make out who everyone is as some players wearing different numbers.

H & Grimes training strongly during match simulation drills. Gus still mainly training alone, currently doing goal kicking practice. And i haven't spotted Watts, but that could be my eye sight.

I would hope he takes training seriously... very seriously... If he was just drafted & didn't smile at the camera in his first ever club photograph in the Red & Blue jumper: then YES, I would be worried, very worried...

Chris Dawes doing a little ruck work with Greg Stafford. A sign we may only have 1 ruck this week?

Would have to surely, he wasn't spectacular against WC but was sensational against Geelong. That number on his back is a clear sign where the club see him, hopefully he repays the faith.

Really glad to here Gus is up and about, this match on Saturday is made for him and Viney.

Word is that Watts is missing, can anyone confirm? Also, club tweeted that Vanders was going through test at training, you are saying you havent spotted him at all? Any info from guys out at Casey?

Spotted Vanders right towards the end, so he must have been one of the players in a high vis vest, which is why i couldn't make him out without my glasses.

No sign of Watts, but was a good session with Gus,H, Grimes & Vanders all getting through. A lot of work on quick ball movement/transition from the defensive 50.

Went to the Casey Demons breakfast there this morning where both Roos & Plapp spoke. Plapp mentioned they could have up to 16 Melbourne listed players playing this weekend. Makes sense given the above named all getting through this morning.

FMD wake up people seriously the guy is one of our most classiest and best ball user along with Vince and theres no better hands to have the ball in when its wet then these guys.

Also last i looked footy is played outdoors.

Some posters do make me laugh! I have been Watts biggest critic but he has been awsome the last couple of weeks.

Want him dropped? You're putting words in my mouth mate. I said I don't mind if he's injured, given the conditions.

Given the conditions, I don't mind if Watts is out.

Where have you mentioned injuries.

so Watts the story with Watts? no explaination from the club? Maybe he was doing light duties indoors? Would be nice to know from the club..

I'm sure that we'll hear details (if there's anything to hear) once the team is announced.

Get a grip about Hogan..all smiles here... https://www.facebook.com/MELBOURNEfc/photos/a.10151939167012317.1073741839.285839797316/10153520912502317/?type=1&theater

Have we lost our man on the ground at Casey? Any updates on Vanders/Watts/Gus

Yes sorry. My two year old was getting to frightened of checker the mascot, so had to head home.

As mentioned H and Grimes did the whole session and after spending tbe first half of the session doing his own work, Gus joined the main group for the 2nd half and got through without issue.

Vanders i only spotted at the beginning and end of the session, but i forgot my glasses today, so i'd say he got through without issue.

Never saw Watts at any stage and there was a bit of banter between Viney & Harmes, so very strong chance we'll see him saturday.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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
