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.

Then a full training midweek down at Casey.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
