Half the team begin with goal kicking some defenders at the other end and the rest are in the rooms.

It 's a big squad on Gosh's.

 The lankier bodies are put through angle changing run through as the stocky type are using bands to restrict run.

Lever in rehab.

Neville Jetta in main squad as is Michael Hibberd.

Christian Pettraca appeared a Little proppy.

An all in drill of moving ball by hand looked great. Clean and precise ball use.

The simulations nearly full contact. With a lot of niggle from the defenders. The simulations finished with the forwards and backs (Rawlings setting up well), in the fifty and the midfield on the wings or centre, competing for ball and connecting as the coaches instruct.

The final drills were angle changing sprints, some rugby style ball movement and tackling and the one on one contested mark.

Oscar Baker had a light training session.

Simon Goodwin working with the small halfbacks, spoils, hand and body positioning.

There was also plenty of peer assistance to the younger players from Jack Viney, Jordan Lewis and Max Gawn.

Overall, a long hard training in beautiful full sun of a Melbourne winter.

Unfortunately not, just usually a dead giveaway if you see them getting super excited for someone on a Thursday so was hoping Kev might have been able to word us up.

Goody said he wasn't far away in an interview, which might explain the interest.

 

 

Can I presume that Braydon Preuss trained in a Casey Demons guernsey?

Did he train, or was he just the emergency?

Hey @kev martin was Macca out on the track watching/interacting with the players?

Brendan McCartney says we will win the next six.

Braydon Preuss ran out with the second group. He looked a little nervous though up. Missed a few snaps and ground ball gets.

Thought JKH a chance and Michael Hibberd to play.

Didn't notice anything about Dunkley

Yes he was. There is no obvious change to the coaching to an outsider except that Rawlings is prominent as the forward coach.
