I have about a 4 day window between unemployment and overseas travel early next year. Might try to get down to training and get my last hit of footy for a while. If I do, I'll be sure to take creepy iPhone photos and write a really bad report where I get every player confused. I'm sure you all look forward to that!

I think the last time I attended training I was in high school... and we were playing finals.... so about 10 years ago. Depressing thought.

Petracca's knees look in good shape!

By all accounts he worked hard at his rehab ... deserves the reward and play the whole season!

I hope you know your EPL as well Jaded. Sadly, Nev Jetta's (?) wife won't be overly impressed if you ask him if you are allowed to take photos of him flexing.

I'm pretty sure that even less people want to see me in Lycra riding a scooter with a beard than they do Stye

If you have Instagram follow Rob Jackson fitness.

He is the fitness guy at Melbourne and I have seen a number of photos of the guys already into training. Yesterday it was Dunn, Dawes, Viney and Petracca doing some kind of circuit work.

Don't talk to the players and get any interesting goss cos you'll be accused of being an apologist. Don't give any opinions cos you'll be accused of knowing nothing about footy. And don't favour anyone or you'll be accused of having favourites. And don't tell us that we've improved because you'll be told "it's only training".

Really looking forward to your reports!

That should produce a five word report.

As long as we train the house down and have really good training standards then that is all that matters!

That should no longer be a problem for Saty, as most of his favourites have been delisted.

There may be players doing a bit of early work, however, Mahoney said the younger players will be officially back on Monday November 9.

Jetta and Salem were his two main pin ups weren't they? They're still kicking around.

I hope he's enjoying his new job and doesn't have to tolerate too many lemon sucking hair shirt wearers.

Still too egotistical. Need to drop the first word.

I think you will find that the first word was in fact a number. As in, One went to training today. Much better.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
