TRAINING: Thursday 14th July 2022

[picket fence 17,522]

Sorry its late Demonlanders but had a few things on so I'll get straight to the main points 

• If Clarry plays on Sunday it will be the greatest feat since that bloke from Galilee allegedly walked on water a couple of thousand years ago. He performed a fitness test of sorts but clearly did not want to use his injured hand.
• Harrison Petty and Bailey Laurie were NO SHOWS at training 
• I think Daniel Turner came of second best in a match sim and took no further part in training, I say  think coz I was a bit far away. If it was him then another piece of bad luck.
• T Mac was in rehab and did a few light drills and could return within expected time frames
• Joel Smith Likewise was involved in some match sims and then completed run throughs. He did have a slight limp though
• If Petty misses Tomlinson looks likely
• Hard to get a line of who of Weeds, Mitch Brown gets the call up. I don't think Van Rooyen is in the frame. Weeds was bustled out of a few contests, but Mitch Brown kicked a couple with some clever play. I reckon Max will play quite a bit up forward
• Dunstan WAS part of main Mids group
• Chandler slipped a few times coughing ball up to his eternal frustration
• Best  trainers were Jack Viney, Trac, Dogga, Langers AND Nibbler. Spirited session for the most part and selection will be interesting
• One other thing. Reporters were teaming in the ground today but do you reckon the Fence was any chance to get in. Nar no way known!
• GO DEES  Best to all P.F

Great thanks @picket fence. Very strange and a little concerning that neither Petty or Laurie trained. Fingers crossed.

Perhaps that wonderful phrase...Health Protocols

Thanks 🪧 🤺

FMD now Petty!😱  And 🪩 again?  Can’t take a trick  

Clearly the curse was only temporarily exorcised last September, and a full exorcism at the G is needed this September.  Nothing less will do.

Hi Pickett, very much enjoy your training notes, any thoughts on why Dogga was holding up two fingers in the first training piccy.

[picket fence 17,522]

Very Surprised that Melksham and Chandler were included! Also surprised Bedford and Spargo hold their places but no, HUNT!!

Weideman this surely would be "Last Chance Hotel" would much have prefered Mitch Brown!

So good to get a training report, you are a DL legend Picket!

The photos of the training  show them all in heavy tops.  They will not need it Up in NT

i thought the Weid looked trim and with a correct ball drop, though I don’t know why the other hand was up in the air. Perhaps to cheer the goal. Bring your best on Sunday please,

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Very nice work (again) PF thanks mate.

Surely there's someone on here who has a background in forging fake press passes.  Get on it D'landers!

Heard of three dog night? Central Australia in July can plummet below freezing just before dawn.

Because it can get so cold, “Mama told me not to come”

Yes, but as Jeremiah the Bullfrog always said,  One is the loneliest number.

Weather Bureau forecast for Alice Springs on Sunday is a minimum overnight of zero followed by a sunny day with a maximum of 24 degrees. Should be a stunning day.

Thought Laurie would've been a chance after last week's game - maybe he's out due to covid protocols too?
