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

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
