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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
