Jacko reminds me of Fitzy when he first arrived at the club a few years back, with that massive mop of hair!

I'm loving the fact that at the draft night when interviewed, he said he won't be getting getting it cut; must have sent a few on here into a conniptious (new word) state.

How about we cut out the personal potting yeah? At least he makes it to training sessions unlike myself and most others on this site. Honestly the attacks on this bloke from the likes of yourself and old mate (dazzledavey) isn’t warranted and just details the bloody thread.
Anyways, moving on.

If he makes foolish statements, he must expect some return fire. 
Many a Demonlander give us Excellent training Summaries that are much appreciated, others are what they are. 
A late start to training as opposed to rehabilitation after surgery are two very different scenarios.

Was Bennell meant to be training today?

He was indeed. This thread is about yesterdays training session. He wasn't starting until today and today was not a track day but he was in the gym.

That's brilliant! Great to see. I'm staying optimistic that he is going to work out for us.

So, if the others are nonplussed, is Salem plussed, or nonminused even?

Harley does certainly appear to be "giving it his all" in a last ditch bid to save his career.  

Great to have someone at the club with this mindset, though it could still possibly not amount to anything.  Well done, son.

I get to the corner of Swan and Punt around 8.55 I look across to see if truck is in place or any sign of red and blue life, usually get a coffee from Richmond station and they are setting up as I reach the corner again

They have appeared between 9.00am and 9.30 every session I have been at, so you can guarantee tomorrow will be 10.30????

I'm planning on heading down tomorrow with the camera after school drop off. I'll be livid if it actually starts at the advertised time as I need to leave just after 11.

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

Very interesting observation. 

Footwear is crucial to foot health. Exactly correct that cushioning can be important so also can grip and responsiveness .

Surface tension, time on the surface and compounding impact can also affect foot health

i would hope that New Balance are consulted in all training and match circumstances .

it would seem that we lacked a bit of knowledge in the past when you look at our record

What group are hunt, avb and salem training with.

What are people's thoughts on hunt being used as a run with player through the midfield, could he potentially run with the likes of dangerfield, kelly, shuey

    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.

    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
