Did anyone notice if JVR was training with the group last week in the Thursday session?

Yes he was. Last week it was JVR, Joel Smith, Bedford & Dunstan.

A few weeks prior I went to a training session that Player Sponsors were invited to and he was training as were all the players selected as emergencies. I assume this is the case for every Captain's Run.

At the risk of talking selections one would presume no JvR due to lack of crowding around him for congratulatory announcement.

no unforced changes it seems from training run

l have it on very good authority he isn't playing this week

I got a feeling JVR plays…

Understand the theory of don’t let someone debut as sub during H&A.

But for a final I think you can make an exception. Would still be a positive experience for JVR even if not activated.

Also, Hunty came to the boundary to fetch a ball and I said, “heya Jayden!”

He said, “hey, how're goin?” I said, “I’m good, how are you?” He said, “yeah, I’m alright” and now we’re best friends. In my head anyways. 
I was standing with a lovely fellow DL-er at the time who can vouch for me that JH and I are now BFFs. 

Say hello to BBO pls WC

If there is a hint of rain they will go with a small.

Does that include not being sub? 
 

Didn't ask that specifically ... am guessing we would have a small for sub though or Smith who can play any position on the field

Lever was out on the field in full kit and marking and kicking the ball around and on the periphery of drills.

TMac was not even out there.

Goal kicking practice with Choco!?? (indoors!!)

Unless Choco can be in two places at once then no. Unless we are foxing and omitted certain players then we will line up either exactly the same or Bedford or Smith might come in for someone. We don't tend to be the foxing type. I'm betting No Change will be announced tonight.

Yes just some 'If wishes were horses' nonsense from me Andy.

Expecting T-Mac & JVR to go around again at Casey.  Not expecting much to happen on the changes front either although Bedford & Smith sounds interesting.

Hopefully that doesn't mean Fritta is out.

Ah yes that makes sense.  Bedford?  Who goes out though?

How was max looking? He is a people person to so surely he was interacting with the fans

Looked liked he was focused on the team to me, when out on the paddock. Encouraging and applauding, any players near him.

I expect he will be focused, leading by example and ready to go.

I didn't see him leave, but assume he would have signed and interacted with a few of our younger supporters, and got back in the rooms quickly. 

Sharing some joy, but his role is to help get the best out of the players and himself.

He signed a few autographs by the fence but didn’t hang around for long. He looked like a man on a mission the whole time. He was defs in the zone.

I think the only likely change is Bedford for Spargo, if Spargo doesn't get the all clear.

I understand he can play without a voice, but a specialist may deem it too dangerous if he cops another blow to the throat. Could cause serious long term damage to his vocal chords, which is obviously not something they will risk.

Especially given he does have a tendency to drop in tackles.

How about the person who served you?  Was he/she outstanding too? 😁

Agree. His month prior to last week will keep him safe. Plus he was part of a successful forward line against the lions R23.

Particular shoutout to Gus, Mayzie, Fritta, Salo, Viney and Brown for being so generous with their time and signing and taking photos with the fans.

You left out Melksy. He was one of the last to return to the rooms. No biggie, it’s just that *some on here are quick to sink the boots at any opportunity, so it’s cool to give him credit for this sort of thing. 
*not referring to you, Ben. Totes referring to the perennial Melksy bashers. 🙄

Been reflecting on why there wasn't a 4th emergency training and goodys interview where he seemed to suggest tmac was a chance ie. 50/50 this week but even better next week or something similar ... putting two and two together l wonder whether tmac might be having a fitness test somewhere away from the media and onlookers

I would be flummoxed if there's a Lander that doesn't think Uncle is loverly WCW.

Although you being with him might explain all that BFFL nonsense with the boys as i'm betting there was probably some wiffy clarety coloured substance in your thermoses (note plural).

Certainly nothing like the bogus labels plastered on the front of 'em which read "Uncle's Loverly Hot Chocolate" & "WCW's Deviled Coffee"

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.

    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.
