Look forward to hearing more Saty. 

Did Dom give anything away regarding when he will be joining the rehab group?

Cheers Saty, appreciate your dedication.

Keen to hear what these certain players are working on on craft day if possible: Frost, ANB and Bugg.

Tom McDonald on Jordan Lewis

We've already got a couple training drills named after him, the Lewis kick drill

You know the one, the one where kicks hit targets, I haven't done that before.

I cringed when I read that.  Have we not learnt our lesson from previous doses of the Messiah Syndrome?

Tyson is in the rehab group, Kent did some laps with Hulett and a bit of handball, didn't ask, get nothing anyway, club hasn't bothered

ANB and Hannan the only other two in rehab, but they may  as well be in main group  Crossy works them over, another two hours of 'rehab' covering everything

Frost  all defensive craft no surprise

Bugg  midfield craft no surprise

Highlight for me today Pedo testing his shoulder out late in the session with a bit of one on one with Crossy   he survived

Forwards heaps of goalkicking practice, including the worst ever effort I have seen from Watts, went sideways, to everybody's amusement, including his, of course he nailed every one after that

And on that JKH  again lined one up at about 45deg angle 55 out, through the middle, hit the netting behind the goal about half way up, Dion Johnstone then followed same result  competition is a wonderful thing   pics on Instagram next half hour

On Lewis' kicking, they had Maxy, Pencil and Flip  doing a bit extra, last part of drill was to chase high kick and mark, Lewis volunteered to do the kicking, made all 3 look good

Is Tom Mac back in full training or still in rehab for his shoulder? 

 

Also I laughed at the poster who mentioned Lewis being the messiah. Hardly the messiah, just a damn good player who can hit a target! Glad our players are taking as much from him as they can.

Tommy Mc and Pedo do most things but they also do a bit extra obviously to test the shoulders out, both strapped up but that's normal for both

Lewis is above everything else a team man, has impressed all with his team first attitude, think Tommy is taking the [censored] as well with his kicking drill remark about Lewis

Other notes

Jeff Garlet spent 15 minutes with Justin Plapp working on crumbing and goaling around the goal square, again using both feet

Greg Stafford had 4 ruckmen to play with today. both Flip and Mitch King worked hard, outbodied by Max and Pencil of course

Liking hearing JKH has some tricks. To be honest I've never rated him, but getting keen to see him have a clear run at it this year.

We have just stopped burning players, similar to Nev Jetta and Jayden Hunt, both couldn't get a clear run, but showed glimpses, so club persevered, JKH will be given the same opportunity, fitness staff have worked wonders with this body, ball is now in his court (Aust Open ref), it was fun watching him go head to head with Dion Johnstone today on goalkicking

I am working on Friday and besides don't like to travel any further south than Caufield, looking forward to hearing maybe a different reporting voice

Of all the training days, think the Wednesday craft day is my favourite, some strange drills when you first look at them, but bit of thought and you see why they are doing them

Couple of favourites

Player has ball at feet facing away from player, whistle, bend down pick up ball turn left or right, depending on previous and kick immediately to player about 20 metres away

Player only holds ball in one hand, keeps other hand behind back, has to drop ball and kick to other player about 15 metres away

Seriously though, I don't the club sees it that way.  We're just lucky that a player of his talent and experience fell into our laps for virtually nothing.  That rarely happens in this day and age.

    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.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
