It's the last Monday training session before the break. If anyone is heading down today we'd love a first hand report.

I'll second that!

I'm currently living in LA and I just want to say thank you to all of the brave souls making it down to training in the pre season to report back to us. You truly are performing a great service to those of us near and far.

I thought we were going to cut and paste

They kicked

They handballef

They marked

Etc

Another really good session, lots of ball movement drills

Crossy and at one point Macca,  pounded the rehab group again

Of the young draftees Sparrow and Chandler seem to be settling the quickest

Corey Wagner looks like what he is, a player who has been on an AFL list before, neat and tidy skills, handling the training loads

May got his feet tangled up in marking drill and crashed to the ground, think the Jatz got involved, spent a minute or two on his haunches 

KK is starting to stand out in the ball movement drills with his 2 way running

At the end of the session Nietschke and Jordon got some one on one tutoring from Nev Jetta

Preuss' skills for a big man are very good, have still not seen him miss a kick, no matter the conditions or distance

Goodwin 'very vocal' today

On the tech side as some have asked, there is a camera on a pole at one end of the field, they have a side on, they also utilise hand held and now have a drone, so coaches have no shortage of vision

Will post some pics tonight

Thanks for the report @Satyriconhome

When I was at training a few Fridays ago I was looking for the camera on the pole. I noticed the guy behind the goals on the freeway side of the ground with the computer and the joystick but couldn't locate the camera or see a drone in the air.

Would be interesting to know how in depth they are with reviewing the training footage and whether they use it to in meetings with players to improve their craft or training standards.

Giving no secrets away, they will use a hand held to have a close look at a players kicking action, assume from both a footy and bio mechanics angle, sorry talking to one of the fitness guys about running styles and how they may and change a players if it is impacting their body adversely

Extract from club tweet re AGM

Goodwin:

"I couldn't be happier with how the players have returned from their break.

"Their intent, physical condition + training standard has been fantastic." 

This is the first time ever that players have come back in good nick.  Shows it is a really committed group.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
