A few notes

tracs quads should be registered as military grade weapons of mass destruction. They’re Tony Martinesque

if there’s one thing I’ve never been surer of it’s that weid could parachute into a hot warzone surviving a barrage of anti aircraft munitions land offshore then frogman into shore and take out a platoon of enemy positioned on higher ground thereafter removing his helmet to reveal a perfectly coiffured head of hair. The man should register whatever he uses as military grade head protection
 

Rad photos . Any observers - can you comment on how at home the new draftees looked ?

Well spotted Steve. 

Hard Goschs surface?

Goschs is quite soft it is sand based

Maybe precautionary, seen him train in boots

Some serious morphing going on in the club. Weid has gone full-hulk as noted, but OMac has also baked himself some beefcake. Petracca also clearly living in a gym these days. Viney looks the most lithe I’ve ever seen him though. Less weight on the foot, the thinking there? Preuss is also looking a bit more Matthew McConaughey, a bit less “Bull” from Night Court.

He was in runners last week as well.

Slipping when turning sharply. 

Must be foot management.

Clearly something he’s gotta live with now. 
Can only hope it’s not too severe.

I ran AVB's photo through an age-guess app and it came out as 47. 

Did you photograph his ankle?

I preface this by saying I have no medical training, but I would have thought boots would be helpful rather than harmful. I would have thought that without stops, Viney would have to push his feet harder into the surface to stop from slipping and to get the grip necessary to push off in whichever direction he wants to go.

Boots have very little in the way of cushioning or flex. Runners, on the other hand, generally have heaps. When the surface is dry, runners would deliver much less impact

Jackson actually looks like a well built kid for 200cm and 18yo.  he should fill out nicely and be a beast in a few years

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
