Had some of the morning off so I decided to venture down to have a quick look at the boys. Didn’t stay the entire time and was only really looking for the players in question for round 1.

Harmes/Jetta/Garlett/Tyson - Made their way to Gosh’s eventually with the rest of the guys who played the practice match. Obviously a light day today but none of them looked to be limping/strapped/inhibited in movement in any way. I imagine they’ll all play on Sunday being best 22 or thereabouts.

ANB/Lewis/Jones/O-Mac - Were all in the main group while I was there and participated fully in the drills I was there for.

Oliver/T-Mac/Viney - All in rehab group. We’re all aware of the Viney situation, however at one point I observed a trainer closely inspecting his foot whilst he was sitting on the ground. From there he headed back to AAMI headquarters. So not sure what the situation is or if I’m reading too much into that observation.

Oliver had his thigh/knee strapped and Tom was training in runners. The rehabbers weren’t doing much in the way of ‘work’. Light ball movement and kicking drills with Crossy. I may have missed any intense training that took place before or after.

But from my limited time there, it seems Oliver and T- Mac are the question marks at this point. 

Mystery no show was Brayshaw unless I have a vision impairment. Which is a genuine possibility.

So much for the knock on the knee as reported earlier...my reading of anatomy is the upper thigh wouldn't be bandaged if it was a knee.

Despite the Gawn talk by our esteemed footy media I actually think Oliver is our most important player and would be a big loss if out.

With the game not until Sunday unless Clayton has a muscle tear or a structural problem with his knee, theres no way he'll miss with a "knock".

Edited. 

Must have been knee and thigh given the nature of his injury which I'd forgotten about.

Ben Guthrie has a different take as to where the bandage was.

Oliver copped a knock to his right knee in the club's second JLT Community Series clash against St Kilda and has been on modified duties since then.

However, the Demons are confident Oliver, who had his right knee bandaged, will be right to go against Geelong and although he did not join in full training, the reigning best and fairest winner moved well.

From the Dees website, looks like T Mac out and Oliver in.

Confirmed ANB, Lewis and Jones will pay

I believe it’s supppsed to simulate the noisy environments of game day venues. The players ability to effectively communicate with each other.

Its getting us ready for Gils game.

Music and fireworks after every goal

a rectangular field

no tackling

free kick against for last touched

time outs

15 minute quarters

etc etc. 

its only about two years away

Sounds like the rectus femoris group for Oliver, at the front of the thigh, attaching around the knee and upper tibia. One related connector is across the top edge of the patella (kneecap) and suspiciously, this may be the site of discomfort. Should be right to play in he was moving freely at this point. Agree about Oliver's importance as a player as he gets the ball out or to a teammate at most contests.

I'd believe you if I had seen a player from another club training with ours.

Just something to listen to in order to break up the monotony of training. They have music on in the gym, why not have it out on the track?

Was thinking the same thing... the only time he seemed to look proppy was in his kicking action.  Hopefully's its just that his left foot action isn't as fluid as his preferred.

Do you think they always strap the injured area? 

Why strap deep bruising, unless your putting padding over the bruised area?

My take is that Oliver will be good to o for Sunday and TMac will likely miss Round 1. Pederson is a more than capable replacement for TMac so I don't think it should affect the team performance too much. Plus it is meant to be wet on Sunday so as long as our forwards chase and tackle we should be fine.

Yup.  Toes can be very tricky to get right and strangely debilitating when injured.  Frost and Sandilands have both missed seasons with toe injuries and Bernie last year was a shadow of himself whilst playing with an injured toe.  

Take the time.  Get it right.

not to worry, Clarry can just pick up 30 handballs and 0 kicks  ;-)

Correct, although some players are actually banned from having a say in what is played, something to do with appalling taste in music

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
