It's the last Open Session before the 2019 season kicks off. If anyone is heading down we'd love to hear a report particularly regarding who is or more importantly isn't training.

Look out for Aaron vandenberg.

My mail is is that AVB will spend an extended period on the sideline.

That’s really disappointing news. He’d had a great pre season and looked primed. 

The feet issues continue.

Damn shame. Just when Vanders seems to have his issues under control, bang, misses another chunk of football. He was flying in the preseason of 2017 also before the foot issue. 

Although not ideal, a month or so on the sidelines is better than the 18 months it took him to get back previously. Hopefully it’s not the latter again.

Just get AVB right. His grunt and pressure are exactly what we need out there.

I assume you mean Garlett.

Why is May in the rehab group?

Keilty and Hunt training with the forwards with the latter just nailing a flat drop punt at goal from 50m. Sounded good off the boot!

This is a good sign at the very least.  If they get through most of it you would assume they'll be right for Saturday.

I’m here as well standing where the rehabbers are. He just looks sore. He’s just mainly standing around doing some short kicks with the physio. 

Just as I say that he’s doing some laps

Haven't seen him yet.

Also, May now running laps. Doesn't seem too hindered by anything. Can only presume the club is making sure he's 100% for Round 2 against Geelong.

I like the look of Jordan. Just saw him training with the likes of Jones, Petracca and Oliver at the moment in some one on one contested ball drills and can hold his own. Lovely kick as well.

EDIT: And of course as I say that, Clarry nails him in a dynamite tackle. Holding the ball!

Can anyone tell me who's wearing the #43? Definitely not Guy Walker.

Whoever it is, I can't say he'll get a game soon. Just accidently nailed one of the trainers in the hip with a lace out drop punt. That'll leave a bruise.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, there's every chance it could be Lockhart.

Did he look like this?

Yep, that's definitely him. Welcome to the club Jay!

Lever looks closer than 12-16 weeks. Just saw him running at full tilt and snapping at goal. He's also competing comfortably one on one with Tim Smith. 

The club is probably just being very conservative in his progress considering its his second ACL.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
