Hopefully you'll report that: 1) Petracca, Harmes, Jetta and Melksham are out of the rehab group. 2) Brayshaw is found alive and well. 3) Viney's cut his honeymoon short and is looking a million bucks on the track. 4) Lever looks a sneaky chance for round 1. 8 Quote

Expand Plus, Weideman and Preuss are champing at the bit, Hunt is on fire with improved teamplay skills and passing, Stretch is up and about and running, driving the ball ever-forward with pace. 2 Quote

Dee Zephyr 19,333 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 How dare they start before 9:30! T Mac is out there and wearing boots. Fully participating at this stage. 8 1 Quote
Dee Zephyr 19,333 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Rehab group with some light ball work includes Gus, Lever, Viney, Hannan, Vanders, Baker, Oliver and Stretch. Jones doing some walking on his own. Trac and Harmes in main group. Edited January 11, 2019 by Dee Zephyr 2 2 Quote
Drunkn167 5,093 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Vanders looking really proppy, grabbing at his foot. He is trying to fight through it but doesn’t look in a good way. 2 4 Quote
Dee Zephyr 19,333 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Looks like the whole squad is out there with the exception of Melksham. Haven’t seen him so far. Jones heading back to AAMI after some running, walking and some boxing exercises. Looked like a light load for the skip. 2 1 Quote

Anyone got any concrete info about Gus? Why the rehab? Expand Everyone is still trying to work it about Gus. He’s moving fine though, picked up a loose ball off the ground in one of the drills and turned swiftly to pass it to a teammate without hindrance. Now doing some solid paced running with Lever and Viney. 2 3 1 Quote
Dee Zephyr 19,333 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Most of the squad heading back now. O Mac, T Smith, Jetta, Harmes, Hunt, Trac, stayed back for some extra work. Vanders running 200s on his own. Looks fine. 7 1 Quote
Whispering_Jack 31,381 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Posted January 11, 2019 My first MFC training session since early 2018 and it was such a pleasure being out there in the sunshine and fresh air with only Demon supporters in the vicinity. Some early impressions - • Steven May is a monster! I’m ever the optimist and a blue sky junkie but this bloke cuts a very imposing figure out on the ground. His switch to Melbourne is going to be a fantastic career move for him. • Braydon Preuss is an even bigger monster. I think he is going to prove a headache for opposition defenders if he lines up near goal. North will regret letting him go. • Jack Viney - sure he was in the rehab group but even in that situation, he has that steely determination and toughness to be a menace to us mere mortals on the other side of the boundary fence. And marriage has made him even harder if you know what I mean. • Christian Petracca - this man could be the key. I'm looking for him to really break out this year. 12 2 3 Quote

MurDoc516 1,529 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 A fair number of fans turned out by the looks of it. The last time i went to training was 2013 (WA demon) and i was practically the only one there. Looking at the Instagram live videos players are signing shirts and taking photos with a whole bunch of fans. 1 Quote

Tough Kent 2,138 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I Spoke to one of the players after training. Today was a light prelude to Monday, just easing the boys back in to it. There was no formal time trial this morning. Nathan Jones was experiencing back related hamstring tightness. He was not sure how hard he could push himself as he had never had a hamstring issue before. Light run throughs and some boxing for him, but he could feel it every time he extended himself. Not ideal for Chunk. 6 Quote
