Stayed for a bit over an hour.  Great to see such a large group.  Didn't see Garlett but was told he was on the other side of the Paddock  training separately.  

Spencer was also training separately and doing a fair few circuits with Daniel Cross.  Trengove split from the main group after about an hour and started doing circuits as well. 

In the early part of the training, the squad was split into 4 or 5 groups to practise specific disciplines.  Interestingly, Kent and N. Jones were in the same group and part of the exercise was for one player to have the big 'pad' and another player would lay a big bump and then go on to dispose of the ball. When it was Kent's turn to bump the 'paddee', he went in really hard.  Jones had anticipated this and went in equally hard leaving Kent on the deck for a few seconds recovering.  He then had to go off for a bit of treatment.  Given that Kent is a bit of a bully (we need a few of them!), it was great to see that Jones had his measure and wouldn't be intimidated.

Watched a bit of the match simulation and, like the real world, looked fantastic when it works (i.e. targets are hit) but ordinary when it doesn't.  Petracca, Dawes look keen.

Read Foxsports Late Mail article just before. Garlett is very doubtful, and apparently Watts had heavy knee strapping but "soldiered on"

Just keeps getting better!

plenty of time to think ourselves in circles about how we might screw this up?

Some weeks I sure am grateful I inherited melbourne supporterness from my family. Not sure what I'd do with my time if I didn't stress about the club.

Don't trust Misson anymore. This is the bloke that also said Garlett was a certainty to play last week. And he spent most of last year [censored]-teasing us with player returns that never eventuated either.

EDIT. To be clear, I don't trust what he says about player ins or outs. Not questioning how good he is at his job though.

I thought Watts knocked his knee in the very bruising mark which preceded his misguided kick to Hogan. In fact I wondered if it contributed to his decision to pass the ball instead of shooting at goal

It's not fashionable to say so, but Dawes would be very useful at present. I would play him as soon as we can, unless Frost discovers somerhing

Hogan trained with the main group.  Looked fine.  Further to Watts query, watched him exchanging 30 metre passes with Kent for a few minutes.  No sign of a problem.  I left at about 11am so it's certainly possible that something happened after I left.

I completely agree. I think his absence has gone way under the radar and the effect is really underestimated.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
