I think the permission to train list is after the draft but before the rookie draft, to give clubs a chance to assess players that missed the draft.

Kev, that used to be partly the case when there was a gap between the main draft and the PSD & rookie drafts but these days they're within a couple of days of each other. 

If potential draftees are still allowed to train with AFL clubs then it would most likely be when they come back from the break early next month. However, I'm not sure whether it's necessary any more and after Fremantle drafted Jack Hannath who was training with us a few years ago, I'm not sure that it's such a good idea.

Wouldn't be surprised if we invite some Casey boys like Goy Lok or the kiwi fella for a run come first day of pre season.

These are 2 players the days are looking into.

Yes but we did draft Brayshaw after he trained with us.

Anyone know if Howlett has been quietly asked to have a run?

Gosh I hope not.

We try not to bring in mediocrity any more, except for maybe an emergency extra ruck.

PS . Sorry was replying to post before yours.

You two blokes would know better than me, no problems. Thought he might have been a possible candidate, seeing as we've picked up two "goodies"

I reckon he is only one good preseason from a breakthrough year

The permission to train list is an insurance thing. If a club wants a look at someone, they can't just bring them in and work them. If the recruit gets injured the club faces liability issues. Having them on the PTT list means they are covered by the AFL.

Good to see that we're not going down the path of trying to recycle mediocre footballers. We have four vacancies - give the youngsters a go.

And there you have smart future list construction, made possible by a reasonable current list.

    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. 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
