No, expect next week, same with Tomlinson

 

Would love to see Gus on the track early looking hungry. Has he been training at elite facilities overseas like some of the others saty?

Thanks for the training reports Sayy and the pictures, much appreciated. Someone asked if Jordan had bulked up but I am more interested in Sparrow. In know Burgess said last week that bulk isn't ideal for our game now perhaps he meant they need power and speed without the bulk. Back to Sparrow, last season one of the many commentators was asked, who of our crop of draftees would play senior games for MFC. Without hesitation he said Tom Sparrow who he thought was a steal. He likened him at the same stage to Dangerfield which of course is easy to say and Tom's year was cruelled by a knee injury. I would keep a close watch on this one as the pre season develops.

Seemed to go on a 'war' tour visiting historic sites, think he is one that, as somebody else has said, would benefit from the mental break, he would still be doing what is required

Interesting that Nate Jones hasn't appeared also

316 years old. Never out of shape. Weight of leadership taken away from him. No rush for his old rig. Needs to be selfish for a year to get the max out of himself

Anyone prepared to take a guess at what's in the front of Fritsch's shorts in that photo with Dunkley? Ice? 

I’d say white tape.

Angle of photo + six-pack makes it look 3D.

I am more concerned with Fritta and the impact pre season is having on him, he had a full head of hair yesterday

Methinks he failed something in the games the boys play and the hair is the penalty

Our half-back line is going to look like an 80s porn film. I'll refrain from making any fisting jokes. 

I was going to mention the 'porn star ' moustache on Lever but now someone else has done it.

Lever's got legs on him like a racing greyhound .

Adds about 15 years to his age. I thought he was one of the coaches at first.

Good to see Viney running around at this time of year, Sparrow is looking the goods and Hibbo is looking in terrific shape.

Very early stages but some encouraging signs no doubt, compared to last year.

The players are looking in great shape. Obviously sticking to the program has helped and getting an early start. Sparrow is shaping up to be a powerful unit.

Will Sparrow play on Swallow in 2020?

I'm having some difficulty getting my head around the idea of a "powerful sparrow".  Somehow, those words just don't seem to belong together...!

I watched Sparrow drilling kicking skills with Crossy last year in the rehab.  He was keeping up with Cross in the precision factors.

I thought he had very good skills.

Now, there is a cross sparrow.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
