I'm heading off to training this morning. Got the hat, the sunscreen, the camera. Hope I don't melt.

It is days like today that AFL players earn their salaries. Too hot for me inside in front of computer and TV with cooling running. 

This will be one thorough hat report this morning. Does the No Hat No Play apply to our footy club? 

Bravo to all reporters for heading down.?

Backs Frost, Wagner J, Lewis, Salem, Hibberd, Petty, Maynard.

Forwards Weideman, Keilty, NealBullen, Smith J, Garlett, Spargo, Fritsch, JKH. 

REHAB on other side with no numbers but assume it is the rest minus the new trades and recruits and Max and Jones who are all in the NT. 

Can confirm that Frosty has this hat in white. 

OMac, Jetta and Petracca running laps at quick pace.  

Baker jogging with a younger player. 

Harmes, Stretch, Viney, Vanders, Melk, Hunt, T Smith in rehab group. 

Brayshaw just sitting in the shade on the boundary. 

Clarry running laps solo at a quick pace.

All rehab kicking balls around and doing non contact drills. 

Harmesy running laps at quick pace too now. 

Vanders solo jogging also at a quick pace. 

Drills simulating getting the ball out of defence with either Keilty or J Smith as leading target (without pressure from a defender). 

All fit and present players exchanging as forwards or backs in the drill. 

Petracca left knee issue, physio’s had a look and he is off to the rooms. Looked like just a niggle, no details. 

Keilty looks good on a lead admittedly without pressure. Most players hitting him front and centre also admittedly without pressure.

Noticed that too but before that seemed to be running without any issues. Assume it's a niggle but I'm wearing my unlucky hat purchased before the Prelim so .... well ... MFCSS.

Hoping none of the coaches spot him?

Andy, keep up this steady stream of reports and you will be assigned with permanent duties as our official DL training reporter!

Split into two groups now and doing keepings off type drills and interchanging every few minutes which players are in the pink tops. 6 or 7 against 3 so the pinks have to work hard. 

Temp not as much a factor as the wind. Having said that I'm in the shade. 

Hunt and Melk running laps with trainer as pacesetter. 

Never seen a pacesetter at Dees training before. Kudos MFC. 

TMac not sighted today. 

Most of the rehab group have gone inside.
