How is that first name pronounced? Like Peter Pius Paul (otherwise known as Crackers) "Keenan"? Or something that rhymes with "my man"?

Great to hear.

I believe he is actually related Kozzy?

Way too early reaction:
Adams - big forearms, he’ll end up a solid lad
Sestan - 5 days and 1 training session in and he’s already looking leaner and more like an afl player
Jefferson - not quite big buckets but he gets a lot of purchase with his fingers around that footy, good size mits
Verrall - decent shoulders, probably the most developed of the young talls

A wintery morning, coldish and windy. Great morning for the time trials, headwinds on one side and a tail on the punt rd side.

Clarry smashed it. Goody was over the moon, they embraced several times. He is set for a ripper. Looking thin, nearly wirey. He is also showing some leadership qualities.

Others out front were Adam Tomlinson, he was in a different group to Clayton but gee, beat Tmac by at least 25 metres. ANB caught the front group.

Some bad news, Hibbo was having difficulty with his Achilles, left training.

Petracca was the only one missing.

So many new players out there. Here are some new numbers, 6 Grundy, 12 Hunter, 19 Schache, 26 Jed Adams, 28 Verral, 33, 38, 39, 43 (Burgoyne?), 45, 46 Sestan, 47 Jefferson and 47 Farris-white. Plenty of train ons.

Clarry has the hair bun. Langdon has crewed. Salem white.

After the time trials, they got into their boots, and it began.

Competitive right from the start. Into two stations, two players competing for position as the ball is thrown in the air, the other was soft tackling as the front player picks up a ground ball. Moved into three stations, short kicks, and the other two I can't remember. They transitioned to handball games with 6 on two in bibs. They then went to two stations, a sim with minimal tackling, (Hunter caught my eye with great outside run and kicks to advantage, Kossie and Sparrow as well). The other was a hard tackling handball game in restricted space. The tackler was not brought to the ground, but was expected to break and get the handball (plenty of noise as they prove to each other their shimmy and ability to stand up).

They went to their lines. Looks like TMac is with the back-line, as is Woewodin, and Salem stay there as well. Tomlinson doing some work with the rucks and the back-line.

Forwards bringing the ball to ground and snapping.

Some mids and forwards kicking down an alley, with a camera under the supervision of Williams for goal.

They then got their runners on again and hit up 10, 150 metre, in under 20 sec sprints.

Deakin Smith, and Moniz-wakefield, Verral, and Adams on a modified program.

Grundy and BBB working together in their individual program.

They have moved a gym under the shed where Joel Smith and Angus Brayshaw did light duties and were joined with some of the new players.

There may have been some drills I missed, it was a long session and with so many players out, there it was hard to follow. 

Addit, had a good look at Farris-white kicking when on the run and it was ok, hit lots of his targets. @Tim

Trent Burgoyne:

2019 (draft year): no games due to hammy issues, rookied 

2020: covid year, port didn’t play in the sanfl 

2021: 5 games, averaged 6.8 disposals. Delisted 


2022: played 10 matches, averaged 10.6 disposals, 2.8 tackles and kicked 2 goals 

He’d be a pretty bold selection based on that. Started to go in the right direction this last season but before that had 3 years of nothing

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
