Legend DeeSpencer!

If you get a chance, would love to hear your thoughts on these things:

- How far off from actual footy training do you think Trengove is?

- Who's being vocal out there?

- What Oliver's disposal is looking like and if he's training mostly with the mids or forwards?

Even if you can't get to those, looking forward to hearing your observations.

Boys are doing a drill that goes short kick to a f flank, square to chf, kick to a lead from the square.

All kicks encouraged to be fast. 1 step, kick says the coach. 

Dunn and Gawn the most vocal. 

White stands out in his ability to spear a pass from this 1/3 of the team. 

Tyson kicking with more penetration. 

Oliver kicks the ball well when balanced, massages it a bit when under pressure. Not the best or worst

I know that Dawes' marking skills are often <indescribable> but I recently watched a few matches (which we won, I'm not a masochist) and he took some really good critical marks.  Let's not overdo the mockery.

Oliver and Mi King have joined rehab. 

Petracca done for the day. No signs of Bewton. 

Hogan, Frost and T Mc doing marking drills. 

Smith also in the rehab shirt. 

2 different hard and fast handball drills happening. All about quick decisions under pressure and getting in to space

might get along soonish myself to have a gander but can you  'opinionate' perhaps as to how switched on they look.  Are the drills working. ? Do people really seem to get the idea of moving and gettting there promptly.

What Im trying to get at here is sometimes drills are  a false guide..its how you go when its mixed up a bit.  Macca was suggesting that the 'elements' are now being transferred across into real  meaningful and purposeful match simulation., that the 'habits ' are sticking.

Have you noticed this  ?  

cheers

In between drills the main group pair off for sprints around the centre square. 

Modern version of go do a 400.

Vanders flying to match pace with Hunt. 

Looks like some full ground blue v green with a 3rd group waiting for some match simulation

Come on Sue, you're better than that.

Are the Dawes jokes missing the mark?

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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.
