Coffee truck is down here  again.

Just waiting for the players.

Watching the storm go through their paces, they're switched on!

Light duties include: Lever, Spargo, Viney and BBB.

Yesterday's players aren't on the track, Bedford is training as is Rosman, but not Chandler.

They are mainly in runners, and after some jogging around the hats they played a soccer game.

Moniz-wakefield and Tmac in rehab doing plenty of kicking. 

There is no strapping on Kossie knee.

You're an absolute champion Kev, thanks for all your work - already excited to read this.

Would love to know what part of the ground Bowey trains in today if we do any match sim or group training.

Short and sweet again. Plenty of banter and fun.

There were some executive types who had an introduction to the group before they begun.

The group appeared relaxed and happy.

Thanks Kev.  My understanding is they're flying up there Thirsday yes?  That would mean a full training run at Casey tomorrow?

That would be my guess as well.

If it was today then those from the VFL side couldn't go hard.

Next week, it could be anyone's guess given the bye, as to which days. Though assume the Monday run will be on.

Could also be a practice game on the following weekend. 

Hoping the club keeps us informed.

@kev martin how is the coffee truck performing?  Hit the spot?

Looked like it did, but not for me (I don't like something for nothing), nor did I get an invite.

Fridays was for supporters who sponsor the players. They also had a food truck and were served bagels/rolls with filling.

Mondays was for the executives, possibly from the New Balance company, the players and staff.

You know what I mean.

Free kicks are good if they are deserved, frustrating if inconsistent.

Worst are the soft ones when given near goal, for both teams. They can ruin the game.

We trained at Casey yesterday going by photos on the club site. Main session I'm guessing and we usually hear from a Goody presser, but nothing. Will we have our Captain's run at the Gabba tomorrow after we fly out or before at Gosch's?

Sorry Kev, I was making a silly joke - a play on words from that stupid dire straits song combiing your comment you don't like something for nothing  and radomly working in free kicks

As in 'money for nothing and your kicks for free'

Safe to say, quite a stretch.

But I agree with you about free kicks btw.

Given the context was about the coffee cart, I'm a bit disappointed you didn't include expresso love in your post somewhere.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
