Thanks. Check two posts up.

Any other information you can pass on?

I asked Max how much weight he has dropped, 9kgs, still skinny at 105kgs

Tim Smith is tracking really well in his rehab and is more powerfully built than last year

Standouts in the wet today Hogan, Maynard, Brayshaw

Rehab today was Kent, Smith x 2, Garlett, Spargo, Hibberd, Tommy Mc

Thanks Saty.

What is wrong with Garlett? Is Hibberd still the calf injury sustained in the International Rules series?

Great news that Hoges performed well in the wet.

I guess time will tell but I wonder what the cost/benefit will be in terms of weight loss, fitness/endurance and strength. Will the weight loss have an impact on strength?

Part of the discussion with him, he is stronger, acknowledged the days of the 115 - 120kg ruckman are gone, Sandilands excepted

There has been a focus on building stronger bodies, Harmes, Billy Stretch, Maynard, Gus all look more powerful than last year

Is that photo from today? Hard to imagine there was enough sun to cast a shadow.

It was from Wednesday I believe. I don't think he has put on or lost much in that time.

Not the most optimistic injury report I have read.

Disappointing to see Vandenberg still struggling  in rehab:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-12-01/ankle-surgery-keeps-young-demon-off-track

Luckless midfielder Aaron vandenBerg is being monitored cautiously after he missed the entire 2017 season with a stress fracture in his foot.

"Vanders has been a little bit slow, just with that foot, but he's probably had his best week in rehab this week. We're really hopeful that he can start to progress a little bit quicker," Misson said.

I've always liked vanders and when fit I rate him as a guy who can snag a couple of goals per game. The problem is he is also one of those guys who always seems to be injured. We've had a lot of very talented injury prone guys over the last 30 years.

Best of luck to vanders. I hope he can make it on to the park more in the 2018.

At least we know what's going on with Weideman. At this stage in his career would have liked him to have done a full pre-season, but them's the breaks.

I think it was an ankle injury that kept the Weid out of most of his U18 year... wonedr if the issue is related to that?

Harmes always has that look of a kid pinching himself about where he's landed in life. I reckon he's living the dream 95% of us had growing up - running around in red and blue after spending a life time barracking for them. Love it.

Great work, Saty. That picture of Billy Stretch at full stretch is outstanding, by the way.

Billy looks like a bubble-wrapped baseball bat.

Lever's lightness on his feet might be what makes him such a good interceptor and good in traffic but I wonder if he needs to be taught to literally dig his heels in.

Looks like they are advocating a wall to me.

Is that the new defensive wall?

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

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)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
