New thread dedicated to today's open training session on the Sunshine Coast. 

We'd love to hear reports from Demonlanders who are attending.

For anyone attending today, an update on Aaron Davey’s role for the camp would be appreciated. Looking forward to the reports.

First time poster. Just joined today. I’m not there today but my brother moved from Melb to QLD 5 years and loves the Dees. He is at training today.

May has a tight hammy and walking laps. The Weid is clunking some very good marks apparently. I’ll keep them coming.

Standouts were Jetta, doesn’t miss a tackle and evading skills were impressive. JKH was actually really good, closing fast and hitting targets. Petracca just a bull. Preuss has the strength but lacks the endurance and repeat efforts at this stage. Tmac looking good for another big year. Maynard’s hands are really clean and fast inside. ANB and Salem both looked really sharp and agile.

They have been doing this at every session since start of pre season, the more ridiculous the better, Hibbo's a close second to Nibbler's

I understand how others could enjoy that but importing another piece of American culture into our game makes me cringe a bit

It is a bit, however, some clubs complain about having too many introverts. 

There's a growing confidence I like.

Is it a piece of American culture?

Whatever it is, I know it's nothing new.

We were doing the same chant (name of club different of course) about 20/30 years back... 

If it's being imported, it was imported long ago.

JKH was in the rehab group, along with spargo and KK. It may have been Toby Bedford he was watching.

Trac was in the main group but Oliver, Viney and Jones were also in rehab.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
