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

    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

    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.

    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
