A snippet from a Ben Guthrie article on afl.com.au from this mornings training.

While McDonald's determination to keep presenting at the footy was noteworthy, Kade Kolodjashnij's foot skills; Bayley Fritsch's aerial ability, as well as his decision-making, and Michael Hibberd's run and carry were among the other highlights of the match practice.

Expand  

Article also states umpires were there to officiate the match practice part of training. 

Would like to know more about which players participated and starting positions in this match practice.

Fritsch had a great first year. He's already got the skills and smarts. Track watchers, has he put any size onto that small frame over summer?

Good to hear KK's foot skills are standing out already. He's going to be a surprise packet to most and the wingman we've been crying out for.

Harmes, who is no slouch, was doing a a bit of one on one with Hunt, Hunt just used his zip to break free, after about six goes, Harmes out loud  'he's just too quick' to everybody's amusement

Harmes is no slouch either! Hopefully Hunt can stay fit and build on his early career form. He looks to have put on some muscle in the upper body over summer. He could become a serious weapon for us, and is probably the player I'm most excited to see in 2019.

Could Hunt play from out of a F/ward pocket, LT ?   Has the lead speed.  Has the leg.

But does he have the hunger and desire to put up with being hit in the back?

He was swung forward against the Hawks a few years back and turned the match for us there, so it’s not the worst idea. 

Personally I’d like to see him settle on the wing. Ideally him and KK own the wings, so we have good running power, elite pace in Hunt and elite kicking in KK.

Expand  

This aspect of his game has always been a strength - just the bloke to regularly take that ball out of the backline in 2019 - if it can ever penetrate near the last line of defence - with our threatening forward line running berserk into spaces or midfielders doing their flat-out run and possession routines nearing the goalmouth. This team offers so much ... like tanks on the battlefield ... clearing riff-raff, penetrating deeply, controlling direction and approach, sheltering the forward eschelons like assault pioneers ... can't wait ...

Oh yeah. Don't misunderstand me , I want him to settle as well and I think centreling is his area...  but I'm imagining of a lineup, IF 'Maxy' or 'Breuse' play deep forward with Weide.

Then what options do we have alongside them.   To me the talls to shelter Weide, to aid him marking...  but who leads to open up the deep forward area.

I think Hunt has the skill-sets, speed and agility, for that setup...   similar to DeGoey in this regard. 

Aside from that setup, I have Hunt playing regualr centreline.

This is a pic from friday. To think some peanuts on here actually think hes still carrying puppy fat or is carrying too much weight.

Thanks.

Demonland is a fantastic site and we're lucky to have it, but the amount of nuffies on here is incredible.

    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
