TRAINING: Wednesday, 9th September 2020

[kallangurdemon 549]

I drove up to Maroochydore Sports complex this afternoon to watch the boys train .Missed the start and Max, Brayshaw and others were not on the oval. 

Jacko trained with the main group trained brightly and appeared unaffected by his hamstring .He may be a chance Saturday night. Harmes and Chunk did 3/4 pace work along the boundary by themselves. 

They worked hard but wouldn't have thought that they would be part of the mix for the Giants. Sparrow and James Jordan did repeat run throughs on their own and dont look far off.

Goody, Salem and Clarry walked the boundary togteher talking in earnest, hopefully about tactics.The assistants took routine drills and all in all the team seemed more up and about then expected.

A word for Neeta .For someone who hasn't played for 2 years and may be delisted at years end he ran laps with the knee bandaged like he was preparing to  play at the Gabba on Saturday.Furthermore he looked in terrific shape.

 I had to leave near to the end as my wife accused me of using a trip to the  Sunshine  Coast as a pretext for watching the Dees train. She got that right.

Thanks for that mate.

Sounds like they are training the house down.  Look out AFL here we come.

Keep your missus - divorce the club!

You should be getting Goody & Bartlett's salary for the remainder of this year Kallang as a reward for going above and beyond.  Even beyond that of some of the players me thinks!

Half to the misses might help somewhat to compensate for her suffering and alleviate you of part of yours...at least for a day or two anyway.

I’m just excited that someone here is allowed out for more than 1 hour and further than 5km from their house.

No idea if the kid can play given he hasn't made it for even a proper practice game, skills haven't always looked great, but whenever I've seen him he's been an excellent trainer. And this still appears on the club website "As a show of faith, the Demons have promised to give him another chance in 2021, hoping to see the defender reach full fitness and impact at AFL level"

[ding 5,126]

Did we train really boring?

[Pates 9,625]

A training thread! How I’ve missed the banter between the track watchers who see things totally differently. 

Good to hear Jacko up and about. If he doesn’t play this weekend and GWS pull the curtains on our finals hopes then put him in cotton wool. The kids a gem and I’d hate anything to happen to him in the last round. 

@kallangurdemon did you spot Bennell? Careful with the missus!!! The Dees might keep on sending us To Hell and Back, but hell hath no fury! ?

There was a bit of half ground practice match for those who hadnt played on Monday .Bennell played and kicked a nice goal but never broke out of a trot .Tmac and Hannan were both lively up forward .

Sorry my brain has turned to mush in the lockdown (maybe due to all the extra grog), who are we referring to here?

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,836]

We advised Neeta he would be given another year so he would not rush a program no idea whether main list or rookie. We have plenty of players with exposed form  out of contract that we know are not good enough. In a highly compromised and allegedly shallow draft with limited exposure to players backing in a kid who has worked on his body and been around the club to take a final spot on the list is the right thing to do with limited risk.

Thanks for the report @kallangurdemon; you've got my vote for this week's 'red scooter - chariot of faith' award!

[layzie 32,775]

Cheers for that report! Much appreciated.

Just quietly I would kill to be on the Sunny Coast right now.
