Probably winding down if not already finished. The club does not list the Wednesday sessions as they are officially closed sessions on an open field. I get that the team need closed sessions to work on "plays/drils" and keep these away from prying eyes or reports on Demonland and other platforms that then can be seen by prying eyes. It would be great to have a closed off venue that could facilitate this.

Maybe we should borrow Punt Road a few times midweek? After all, we have allowed Richmond to play their home matches on our ground (the MCG) for decades!

I love the fact that there is so much competition for spots, that you have to start now and go hard to get a spot in the team.  We have competition at all lines in the squad now (although Gawn is a cert for 1st Ruck).  Great environment to take it to the next level.  Lets see what we do with the new rules (666).  Thanks to all for the training reports and pics!

With only two pre season games and the VFL season starting 3 weeks after the AFL round 1, "training form" takes on another level compared to past years for the players ranked between say best 14 and 30.

I asked for further clarification on Gus' state last week as "sick" didn't sit with me, especially as he was at training, and was actually doing some form of exercise.  @brendan @TeamPlayedFine39 any latest news that's not from the Herald Sun?

My doubts were that if he was actually sick (ie cold, gastro, etc), he'd be better off spending a couple of days away from the club, and definitely with his feet up.  He's been rehabbing for well over a week now, so my suspicions are growing.

I don’t have any inside word just rely on media and demonland for info

Just going off photo's but Hibberd seems in ripping shape. He hasn't had much of a preseason since he joined us so I'm expecting huge things from him if he gets the bulk of the summer in.

Officially it's a "Closed" session today but if anyone is attending training we'd appreciate an unofficial report.

Thanks in advance.

Could be just about our toughest front row group photo

If he was/is sick, it's possible that the condition isn't contagious. Just sayin...

Just did everything to an excellent level, got praised out loud by coaches at least 4 times

Him and Weid seemed to have done a heap of extra work, think he was paired with Weid for a reason, like Billy Stretch, Weid is fastidious with his preparation

I forgot to mention this after attending on Monday but I've been told during the exit interviews this year the players had to nominate their best trainer/preparer (is that a word) and a not so good trainer/preparer. Some of these were then "paired up" during the off season as a "learning" opportunity. Saty, have you heard about this?

Just for clarification are you saying that the players have been allegedly paired up with the trainers/preparers that they nominated as "not so good"?

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
