To be fair all their social media accounts show them training the house down.

And none of them are due back at training for another 2 weeks, so what's your point? 1st to 4th year players are due today, which will be a pretty small group really, so it will be interesting to see if many of the senior guys join in, but as long as those that aren't there have been doing the training program it doesn't matter where they are.

Without wanting to reignite a debate about the impact of surgery and rehab (though I think 99.9% of posters would agree it had a significant impact last season) does anyone know how many players had post (or end of) season surgery? Or the number of players we could conceivablyhave in rehab to start the pre season?

Harley Bennell would be one.

Not 100% certain, but from what I can tell the approximate scenario is:

Weid had hip surgery right near the end of the season. Back early December.

TMac knee surgery in July (?), so hopefully ok for full training when it starts (although he and Viney might have adjusted workloads for their continuing foot problems).

Jetta had minor knee surgery near the end too, more of a clean up I think so hopefully ok for start of preseason.

Fairly sure all other surgeries were done well before the end of the season.

Joel Smith in rehab still, but on light training already. I think vandenBerg is similar, as is KK.

Don't quote me on those, but that seems to be what I can remember seeing.

We'd love to hear reports from any Demonlanders who are attending training. Any information such as who was there and what they were doing. In particular which 5 years plus players were in attendance. Thanks in advance.

I am very keen to hear if Aaron vandenBerg and KK fronts up. My expectation is that long term injured who have recovered come back today even if they are in the older group. Any news?

Petracca, Salem,  Lever and ANB seem to have spent their time in the US visiting and training at different high performance venues across the country.  Definitely don't seem to be taking it easy.

(also shows ridiculous money in the US 'College' system.)

The video was quite quick but many recent recruits were there.  Tom Mac was there and I'm pretty sure I saw KK.

    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
