There for an hour.  Salem, Oliver, Kent, Grimes seemed to be in a rehab group.  Garlett training separately with Crossy but being watched by a few others.  Kicking really well off of both feet.  Hard to believe how hard and low he kicks.  Much better than the easy floaters you see so often.  I don't understand why Kent & Tyson aren't told to practise kicking with their right foot.  It's such an obvious shortcoming in their game.  Pedo, Weed & Hulett (I think) were in a group practising goal kicking.  Great to see how competitive they are and how much pleasure they get from the others' misses.  Did not see Vandenberg.  

Spencer, Petracca, Trengove all look fit.

No Vanders, no Oscar, no Mitch King. Spencer out there training which is good, getting towelled by Gawn though so don't expect much if we need him. 

Matt Jones I only saw briefly before he left. Unsure if he did much more than walk laps.

Everyone else was there. 

Lumumba, JKH and Joel Smith doing some handballing, the 4 mentioned above doing their lighter stuff and despite only doing kick to kick and some other stuff with Cross it looked like Jeffy was moving pretty well to me.

Good to see Spencer back out there.

At least he's got the best ruckman in the game to learn from.

Spencer is very limited as a ruckman but could be useful as a poor mans mumford.

Always seemed to have taken some angry pills but the difference he is not alone anymore.

For mine, this is why frost is important to our team.

What defender wouldn't "hear footsteps" under a high ball with frost, kent, hogan and harmes ready to clean them up

Would be handy if one of you guys were present for Vander's ankle op and could confirm he'll be out for 6-8.

??

Wellllll..... He hasn't had an operation and will be out for 3-4 weeks.... Just to clarify.

From the article you linked on the other thread:

"MIDFIELDER/forward Aaron vandenBerg will miss at least the next month, due to an ankle injury."

which often means about 8 weeks in Dave Misson-speak. Didn't say he had not had an op either.

Just to clarify.

"Demons high performance manager Dave Misson said the club had opted to give vandenBerg's ankle time to rest and heal."

Yes, it's all a conspiracy, they deliberately didn't mention an operation because he secretly had one, and Misson deliberately gives misleading information about injuries just to annoy supporters, not because, you know, injuries are complicated and it's difficult to put an exact time frame on someone's healing....

Oh, and from that same article....

"Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 3-4 weeks"

You know, just to clarify...

Yes, it was deliberate, he did it just to annoy you...

Ok, thanks for the report update jimcor and deespencer. 

The remainder is not necessary guys. At the end of the day let's just deal with VB out for around a month. The silver lining is someone gets a gig in replacing him, and because of our depth due to who is playing at Casey, itching to get a game as well as recent debutants performing. VB will be missed but it's definitely not the end of the world as we have capable replacements ATM. 

God speed in recovery VB, and hope he's not out for longer than a month.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
