There strange belief that training is somehow designed or done with any fan or supporter in mind is so baffling to me. Your favourite band don't give you daily updates when writing and recording new m

Anyone have the official return to training date?

My guess is for Wednesday, I'll drop by, and hope a morning run is on at Gosch's. 

Nothing on the training page from the MFC site.

Are you sure it's him?

He was kicking towards the left wing apparently so we can be pretty sure

Any further updates? I’m thinking of going and want to take the kids. Don’t think I can handle turning up to an empty Gosch’s paddock and then having to deal with 3 kids under 8

Bit of a gamble, with having to disappoint the kids.

I will post tomorrow morning just before 9.30am if they are out on Gosch's. 

They could be at Casey or may delay their start of the 2023 campaign till Friday or next week.

The channel 7 report stated they'll return to training next week

No team training!

One demon out on Gosch's at the moment.

Mr.May, doing sprints with intervals.

Melbourne Storm are in full force, on the oval next to AAMI.

Brayshaw has just arrived.

Do you live at Gosch’s paddock?

Under a tree by any chance?

Or just within binocular distance?

You are a star on your training reports, greatly appreciated.

Thanks again Kev. Only Bayley and Christian were training. They were fantastic with my boys having a kick to kick with them. Had a nice chat about the round ball game with Christian who is a mad Arsenal fan.

I reckon it was Salem, because today's Petracca's birthday and I'd reckon he's out celebrating.

Gee , they get alot of free time for professionals. 2 months post MFC season and 3 weeks for christmas.

Nice.

 

Reckon it’s a good thing that they have plenty of time off between seasons. Reckon a lot of the guys spent most of last off-season fully focussed on the responsibility and burden of being reigning premiers.

Come back fresh physically, but mentally too. Our intensity in 2022 was nowhere near the sustained levels that it was in 2021.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    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
