I'm currently floating around Goschs Paddock in a tinnie waiting for the players to arrive. 

I hope they turn out and don't have an indoors session for you MD.

    Just got home from work and really enjoyed this. Jrono where have been?...only 10 posts ...really? Loved reading your work. Clearly you're a wordsmith/ writer and have been engaged with the club for a while. It's greatly appreciated by us office bums, even though for me the "office" is a nursery shed trying to grow a fungus.

    Thanks but as pointed out by Moon, it was another poster from bigfooty, I mainly just lurk and read others posts haha
    The only posts I usually make are to report on the Maroochydore training's each year because I live up on the Gold Coast and like to make the drive up.

    I don't think they stack up quite as well as this guys though since I'm an engineer and not a linguist; I tend to look at the specific of training like who beat who in drills.

    Do they have life-vests?

    Swung by for a quick look. It was unbearably hot in the sun.

    Forwards:
    Hogan, Pedersen, Fritsch, Bugg, DJ, ANB, JKH 

    Doing some kicking to position and blocking

    Mids:
    Huge group with the 3 rucks - Jones, Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Harmes, Balic, Maynard, Tyson, Stretch, Salem, Baker

    Doing a stoppage and spread drill

    Backs:
    Oscar, Frost, Lever, Wagner, Keilty, Lewis, Vince, Jetta

    Some kicking and also some lightly contested marking or spoiling. Really the focus was on early body work and movement not on the contest

    Not sighted:
    Vanders, Viney, Weeds, Hannan, McKenna, J Smith, T Smith, Hunt, Garlett, T Mc, Hibberd, Melksham, Kent, Spargo, Perry

    Troy Chaplin was coaching the backs. Max Rooke the forwards. Benny Matthews the mids with Egan watching on I believe. Macca and Goody floating around.

    They broke in to a talls group who practiced contested marking and in close agility and and a couple of groups of smalls who did some kicking work.

    I left when they started to do running. Looked like Stretch, ANB, Wagner got an icy pole and were excused from the running. Maynard and I think Hogan as well. I think all of the midfield group aside from Balic and maybe Baker went and formed the best running group, plus Vince, Lewis, Jetta, Bugg, JKH. The first few runs looked like a good pace and the groups stayed together.

    Great write up @DeeSpencer. I don't often get to training but your reports are gold on this site. Detailed, accurate and no bs. Much appreciated

    Weather has held off for them. At this rate, providing they get showered and changed in time, they’ll be able to catch the first boat home.

    My suspicion is he's not young.

    I believe he is a she.

    I think AN-B is setting himself up as a new God after his great season just past. However, I also think he using using his reference to God in terms that might not elicit much sympathy from the masses. However, they are trying... his running this year has been so good ... and hard to catch.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
