That photo probably overstates Smith's change in body shape. It's noticeable but not crazy. The change in definition is what makes him look so impressive but it's a good change from a basketballer to a footballer's body. Having that background in pro sports and being a bit older probably helps.

I'm excited that they have music. Just one speaker so far but it's something I think they could build on and play crowd noise during goal kicking practise, play some tunes during the warmup and maybe cut it off for the focused training.

I think it's a sign that Goodwin isn't afraid to be innovative and to mix things up. 

So music is a tick from me. 

Toilets must be next.:pj:

Then a sound wall and more trees to stop the toxic diesel fumes at the freeway end please.

By all reports, Joel Smith and McKenna could be real smokies next season.

ANB looks like a man on a mission too.

Havent seen enough of Maynard as yet but competition for spots is going to be fierce.

No Misso's program of building players is in full swing, players who need bulk get it, players such as Petracca are being leaned down

That is very good news.

Maynard doesn't look too bad for a B class rookie, if that makes sense, I expected his kicking to be all over the place but it's quite good, and he is like a sponge asking questions all the time, when he is not in the drill, he watches intently

same leap.

This kid could be really something. Looking at the list and the kids coming on, there is not only going to be competition for spots, there are also going to be some very disappointed footballers.

They are building a block on the corner DS, still means a run there and back though, Jesse used this as a warm up this morning

Sounds like it from a couple of reports but someone mentioned in one of the training day threads there is a push for him to move to small fwd. I know we are well represented at inside mid but not sure that move will pan out.

Unfortunately have to work today so my pics will appear tomorrow on Instagram, got some of the tackling drill, Harmes put Jones on the deck, not a good career move

Just noticed Ollie sitting on the grass watching... I'll keep an eye on him The competive, half ground ball movement continues... several looking a bit worn out now

Love the reports thanks.

Was Ollie maybe looking for a drink?  Or the booze bus on Punt Road?

That's not nice, already reported the poor bugger was crook, can't take a trick, spoke to him, didn't look or sound well, believe there has been a bit of a bug floating around the club

Gee I don't know about that... He looks like he's put on about 5 kegs of lean muscle on his jaw and neck alone

    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.
