It all starts on Monday for a limited number of players when the first wave of players will return at 9.30am at Gosch’s Paddock.

TRAINING TIMES

I'm sure most of you are looking forward to reading and discussing reports from training but please note the following:-

Posters are asked to be polite on training threads. Personal abuse of players or other posters will not be tolerated.

Be interesting to see what kind of condition Petracca comes back in.

Someone in another thread said he was still on the BinTangs in Bali very recently.

I think that comment was a BinTang in cheek..

I am eager to hear/read how Milkshake & Hibbo (60's crime show!?) will go coming to a new club with different training practises after a year of sub-standard training.

There's one thing worse than pre-season cliches and that's people making jokes about pre-season cliches.

No cliches should emerge this pre-season, as long as everything that goes on is kept within the four walls of the club

Love the pictures. Love the build up. Love the smell of the ground and the skills.

I said I was going to be more 'technical' in my report, may have to change that now, will try and get a few pics of the 'new' guys, interesting to see whether Hibberd and Melksham turn up day one, usually it is just the 1st and 2nd years and also McKenna (theoretically 3rd year)

And who of the senior players start as well, Jones, Gawn and a few others were there from day 1 last year

I have one wish.                    

Can we have pre-season training reports without the sniping.           

If you can't get there to post your own report, don't criticise those that do.                                        

If you don't like the report ignore it and move on.

We have lots to look forward to so let's be positive.   

This should not be wishful thinking.

Can't wait to see Goody 100 % in charge and putting his stamp on the list.  Looking forward the upside in a few that I think will  come from this alone

Could not agree more.

For those of us who live interstate, training reports are gold. I feel indebted to anyone who turns up to a training session and bothers to report back on what they observed.

I share your wish Ernest.  It runs a close second to my #1 wish for this pre-season, which is for Clarry and Trac to convincingly beat T.Mac in the 3km time trial.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
