One conspicuous absentee from yesterday's training at Trinity Grammar was Byron Pickett who was applying to the Melbourne Magistrates' Court for the restoration of his driver's licence. The Byronator is a new man with a growing family to look after - and of course, a prmiership to win with the Dees. ( read here).

News from yesterday's training is that most of the old heads are looking fit, trim and enthusiastic, Brent Moloney, Paul Johnson and Ricky Petterd are in full training after recovering from injury while Colin Sylvia, Matty Whelan and Daniel Ward are in the rehab group. Col is apparently still being nursed through the early parts of the the year's training as a precaution against a flare up of the OP that has dogged him from time to time.

    Please dont tell me I just read the words 'Sylvia' and 'OP' in the same sentence...

    Well if it's just a precaution, that's fine, but the fact that he is still struggling with it after so many years, is a real worry.

    If he isn't back into full training very soon, I guess we could wave goodbye to Sylvia being in the 22 come Round 1.

    If I remember correctly the club did something similar with him this time last year and he was full of running by the NAB Cup and the early season games.

    From my limited knowledge on OP the rehab is a 3 or 4 year ongoing process, designed to ease the sufferer back to full work over that time. I have no knowledge though whether it's flared up again or not.

    I just hope Byronator keeps away from the OP - as in Over Proof........ That way he'll keep his drive.

    Brent Moloney, ..... in full training after recovering from injury

    Am I reading this correctly.

    Brent Moloney and full training applied in the same sentence.

    What's the story??

    I sometimes wonder what's newsworthy about Byron Pickett fronting Court to apply for the restoration of his licence. After all, it's not as if he's done anything in recent history that's improper as far as his driving is concerned. It's a routine administrative application that would have happened a long time ago but for the fact that he lived in another state for a few years.

    For that matter, I don't think the story about the Grant Thomas/Rod Buttres debt story is news either. It's a private matter between the two of them and nobody's done anything criminal. They should leave it alone.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
