Not if it’s the soul draining kind of gastro. Sucks you dry of fluids and usually is a 36-48 hour recovery. So one can only hope he is on the mend and with a good nights sleep can be ready to play tomorrow. 

Add some hydralite too then.

Patrons were told that contact with the players would be limited to non-existent and that players wouldn't be signing, taking selfies or having a chat. Some players at the end were skirting the boundary giving high fives. I was concerned that this would expose players to COVID but now I'm afraid I may have been exposed to Gastro. Fingers crossed.

Maybe “fingers washed” then fingers crossed after that 😁

Nice to see JVR train with the senior group.  I don't think he'll be picked for the finals,  but he's got a good build for a 1st year lad.  

They interviewed Richo near the goals and asked about tmac, was quick to also mention JVR was a good option for them to have if he is called upon ... was in the best again last week ... he might be ahead given limited prep for tmac

The boys all moved well despite knee bandages on Gus, Kozzie and Trent.

No knee bandages on BBB, Max or Salo, which is really good news.

Here's a few pics from the session.

ADMIN EDIT:

Pics have been move to this posts.

Joel Smith Training with the defenders.

I wonder if they are considering Joel as the med sub as he's able to play back or forward and could, at a pinch and with his pace and agility, slot in on a wing.

Pictures incoming? Please... 

Had every intention El D, but not only did I not take pics, I didn’t clap eyes on a single player. Not one! Not even from a distance. Snag duty came first. 😁

Hopefully, your selfless sacrifice will be rewarded with a victory tomorrow night.

JVR, J. Smith, Salem, Dunstan, Bedford in the squad.

Williams was again the most vocal out there, making sure they were taking the session seriously. 

The warm up, then grouped into the four corners, short kicks to coach with some run and handball receive. Another drill finishing with hitting the yellow target. They split into their line squads and did their stuff. Mids practising clearances, forwards working the marking bag and backs shuffling the ball around.

In the 3/4 paced, no cotact sims against the coaches (they started with possession, Yze, bog), we had plenty of structure, voice, spread and then finding a corridor off the backline, and finishing with a goal.

Finished the session with some goal kicking.

No Hibbs. 

Rehab had Woewodin and Moniz-wakefield,  Moniz-wakefield later joined the seconds in their run.

I couldn't see a coffee truck, there were, activities for the kids and merchandise they were giving away, small flags, plastic cups and key rings with pictures of players on them. Just saw the text from WCW, apparently sausages.

Great crowd, I thought the players were a bit overwhelmed, would have preferred to have a few more spectators at their previous sessions so as to make it feel normal. Could work the other as well, and get them fired up, though I prefer the stability and controlling the environment, plus, gives us a bit more of a connection.

I have more really good shots, but the site won't let me upload any more because it would exceed the "max total size of 302.47 kb". Is there any way to get around this?

I have the same problem, sometimes under 1kb. If you edit and resize maybe they may fit. At the moment my upload capacity is 786 B.

Amazes me that some can upload HD photos. Can those who do it, share, how?

I messaged the mods and they said nothing could be done.

It is why I can't send photos of training. Even after editing and resizing there is often not enough upload bytes available.

Hey Kev, perhaps you should delete  old pics you’ve posted and that are no longer needed. You just go to your account, click on ‘my attachments’ and select the pics you don’t need, and delete.

Use https://imgur.com/ and post the links here.

Does that mean, download the app, put the files on that app, then what?

Use "other media", and insert into post from that url, or go to add files from that app.

Can you give me more instructions, please .

WCW said to clear the attachments in my account, that worked. No need to use imgur now. @demonlad

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
