I was there. A couple of observations:Steven May is a big unit.Mr Preuse is a tall unit.Same height as Max.The 2 big fellas were taking turns kicking for goal.Most of their kicks were accurate-about 35  metres out.Max led the running around the ground - he is one fit unit!So is Joel Smith.

Jetta, Stretch, Tracc running laps

Melk Hore running timed 150’s with Crossy

Harmes jogging

Bull jogging. Oscar hanging around

New boys: Bedford has cut his rat tail, shame. Chandler is short but compact. Sparrow stronger, clearly has done more weights than the rest of them, he’s more of a young man than a kid. Has the AFL approved short back and sides haircut. Nieta is a nice flanker size, not too thin, not quite rangy but an all round nice shape. Jordon looks a little less developed but he does have some quads, not a complete baby.

Walker has the long hair and a natural looking left foot, slotted some nice goals on the run, could be something there. Bradtke bounces along with his hair bobbing like a young tall, does have a nice kick for his size.

Early returning players: Gawn, Hib, Jones, Frost

Running time:

Gawn, Hib, Frost, Preuss did 300’s in that order, big fella wasn’t too far behind.

Rest did 200’s

Young guys did interval running. Sparrow looked the most taxed at the end but he’s got 5kg on these guys and is apparently a fast twitch guy. Didn’t get to see much of their kicking, the two I saw were Chandler and Neit/Aaron and they looked fine.

Rough order: J Smith, anb, Wagner, Fritsch, kk, Gus, Jones, Maynard, Walker, Spargo, Petty, Weed, Keilty, May 

May not terrible but I think he’s got a big preseason ahead of him. He was keeping pace at the back with Keilty but he did look pretty puffed after every run. Still vocal and getting around the boys. I wouldn’t say he’s in bad shape but he’s a bit chonk.

They went off in pairs and they didn’t separate too much.

Later they broke in to 3 groups for some longer running. Smith, ANB, Jones, Wagner, Gus, Maynard, KK in the top group who decided to head off around the rugby ovals, then a middle group of Fritsch, Weed, Petty, Spargo followed by the big boys.

Was rehab-ing. Good size, has Melk and Crossy by a couple of cms. Strong enough build although more of a running type than bulky type. Very tanned, must be sunny up on the farm

Not a great start.

JAKE Lever has left the track slightly early at Melbourne's training session after appearing to experience soreness in his reconstructed left knee.

Lever, who was busily flexing his knee, spoke to the club's doctors for several moments before the decision was made for him to leave the track and not continue his running program.

Not good news that Lever left the track early with knee issues.

Were any track watchers there? Any further info on Lever?

Just got home from training, I thought Lever looked fine when coming off. He chatted to ppl on the way out and didn't seem concerned. I'd be very suprised if it was anything serious.

Saw this vid on club website following Sam Weideman back to preseason training. Interesting to see his determined mindset.

You need to access via the club app and signing in. They’ve made it that way to try to make it exclusive and probably to get everyone to refresh their details. Not missing much so far, but it might get more interesting as the series goes on

I got down to training today. I noticed Jake Lever keep flexing his knee. He obviously had some awareness in it, although it didn't stop him from doing a solid amount of running. 

Joel Smith surprised me in the repeat 200 m efforts. We all knew he is a good athlete but he was putting quite a bit of distance between himself and Nibbla in the sprints. The rest of the pack was a fair way back after that.

As others have noted, Tommy Sparrow looked a fair way ahead of the other draftees in terms of having an AFL ready body. He and Marty Hore would be the ones I'd be keeping an eye on for potential 2019 debuts.

Jeffy Garlett, Matty Whelan and Nev Jetta all spent quite a bit of time chatting to a group of people down in the pocket. I would guess that it must've been Toby Bedford's extended family.

Early days yet, folks; big op - great that he feels that he can turn up to training and participate at this stage. Scar pain feels similar to the injury itself so a wise move to be cautious but this is an early point to even be able to contemplate a return. He is in good hands and most probably will not be too far off full blown effort and involvement.
