The Demons kick off the long weekend with an open training session at 9.30 on Saturday morning at Gosch's Paddock. 

They then move on to Casey Fields for the Casey Demons game v Collingwood VFL. 

Some features to look for at training -

• will Jack Watts train freely enough to satisfy selectors that he'll be right for Monday's game?

• which players will miss the training session meaning they will most likely be saddling up in the VFL later in the day?

• will we see Max Gawn and Jesse Hogan?

• and of course, no injuries please!!!

Looking forward to finally getting along to an in-season session.

Also, when will Goody turn up after his premiership reunion in Adelaide?

I'm off to see my local team. Looks like I'll e tuned to Demonland all day.

BTW jetlag has hit me bed. It's 2am but I'm not long off a 14 hour flight (from the Greek Isles) where I slept much of the way (in an A380 less than one quarter full).

I'll take the liberty of re-posting this from my fb page:

I'm staying at a small family-run hotel in Athens. My first conversation with the young manager went something like this: 
Me: 'your English is very good Steve'. 
Steve: 'yeah, well, everyone at the school I went to learnt English'. 
Me: 'where was that?'. 
Steve: 'Adelaide!'

Steve turned out to be Steve Parthenis, a very handy golfer who has represented Greece at three world amateur championships, including in Adelaide a few years back. He was written up in the papers over there as 'the returning Aussie'. He left Oz when he was 6!

Just watched last years QB match.  Pumped.  I'd forgotten it was the one where Gawn smashed a bad bounce away and copped a 'what'd you do that for?!' whine from Pannell.

Intrepid track watchers... Report for duty!

All reports are greatly appreciated D77. 

Just telling us what/who you see is enough.

It was umpire Nicholls ( the one who rarely gives us a free ).

These boards are for every ones input. Always good to get fresh eyes

I think it's Flipovic (sp?) who's running laps at the moment... if it is, he's put on a hell of a lot of muscle since the weedy kid I saw training in January!

No Spencer, JKH and Wagner on the track! One of Harmes, Bugg, Melksham or Oscar   makes way for Salem I guess. 

Gawn is here. Got a little clap from the team as he took off his jumper and joined squad for warm up laps. Watts here. No Spencer/Hogan

Ha, yeah for some reason I've had him as Pannell in my head for a while.

doesn't that mean wagner for salem?

Can a player play say a half for Casey today and then be emergency for Monday?

Thinking about JKH

Looks like Wagner has been dropped for Salem. Bugg training, no JKH.

Possibly explains the reports of Josh Wagner not looking all that happy after coaches spoke with him at Thursday's training?

Yes,  sorry phone keeps shutting on me before I could edit.

Having phone issues, full battery but keeps turning off, hopefully some other demonlanders can post reports if this continues for me. 

Gawn is into everything. Doing sprinting drills now
