It's on, day one under a beautiful Melbourne morning. They trained from 9 to 12 o'clock. 10 to fifteen support staff wait for the 8 to 10 coaches who are led to the field by Goody. No Bernie Vinc

I wondered down to training today and can only commend Kev's comments as they are accurate and cover all that I saw. On Bedford, I can't believe that you can take anything out of his performance

Yes, both did everything but the contact work. They are looking in good condition.  Great to see them out there.

He is definitely 15 or so i have been told

Hopefully he may live up to the dizzying standard set by Ricky Petterd in #15.

We're due to have a #15 that can play. The last one we had was Paul Hopgood, since then we've had Funcke, Smith, Petterd, Rodan and Stretch (source: DemonWiki) - all borderline AFL but NQR players.

We all have differing opinions, but I think you're being generous with Paul Hopgood's ability. I'd go back to Stephen Tingay (and if he doesn't qualify because he played his best football in #2, all the way to Stan Alves).

Now he could play!

Yep - the tail end of Hopgood’s career was around when I started paying enough attention to know the ins and outs of each player, so I probably am being generous. Definitely wouldn’t count Tingay, so Alves it is.

Anyone know what the typical 3 km time is. I just ran 16 flat but am 39 with a crook back. Still knackered. 

Anything sub 10 minutes is very good, getting down towards 9:30 is elite. If your mids can do around 10:30 and bigger guys at around 11 then that’s handy.

Im surprised we haven’t followed the draft combine and most clubs in doing 2kms but really I doubt it matters much. 

The repeat 200m runs and repeat sprints that they do at the end of sessions are probably a better guide for how a guy might play.

That’s faster than May ran it day 1 last year.

Not full on at all

Both about a few kilos fitter than last season 

Big big year for Trac and back to 2018 year for  Hibbo.

    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. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
