Doing the 2 and a half hour travel with my 3 year old to attend tomorrow's open training session at Yea.

My turn to give back to the die hard regulars who have make the time to attend and give in depth reports for us folks who live in regional country area's. 

If you have any player of interest to keep an eye on let me know and I'll do my best to update.

Quick question, are players accessible for photos and autographs afterwards? This is for my son who is excited to meet his hero's tomorrow. 

U are a LEGEND DAZ! Matt Jefferson appraisal from me, Hunter, Grundy and Shackey Attacky also

Thanks very much P.F

Kye Turner and Seston for me.

Jefferson has been in the rehab group for the past few sessions. The reason for this has not been stated by the club nor ascertained by the trackwatchers.

I read somewhere that he was in the rehab group as a precaution after a headknock - standard procedure.

Was that Jefferson or Faris-White?

Have arrived and boys doing a circut on the netball courts. 

Some ridiculous fit dudes here.

Amongst the team or amongst the spectators?

Circut still going on.

JVR is one big unit. It's ridiculous a bloke that's 19 is already that size.

Onto the oval where you'll struggle to find a green blade of grass.

Broken up into small groups with most of it compiled of stationary kicking.

See today's sessions as more of a captains run.

Disposal is clean, crisp and moving fluently.  

There's a group down the other end doing some keeping off.

No bandage on Olivers hand. But i presume as its a light session there will be no contact today.

Groups have no rotated. Near me is choco Williams with the kicking group.

Barking orders and wanting to keep it low and hard.

Kye Turner has an unusual kicking style but is effective so far.

Kozzie, Rivers and May are so efficient with their kicking style.

Rivers looks extremely fit. Would love to see him spend midfield minutes if an opportunity came across.

Gee BBB is moving very well. Can,t see TMac. Will be surprised if there is a match sim on this ground. Its quite dry and uneven

Trent Burgoyne really showcasing his poise and clean kicking skills in the group near me.

AMW  is another who kicks it flat and hard.

Mark Williams would still make a good senior coach. He barks orders but also gives good constructive feedback and demands 100% in all aspects.

Benny Brown moving well also.

Bit of a PR exercise really. Good to see the players. No TMAC, Clarry protecting his right hand (requesting gentle hand shakes) BBB is a very nice human, Trac and Clarry seem to really enjoy each other. Steven May did a poor handball in a drill, the next drill he put in serious effort to steal possession, he is a real competitor.

On to the serious side. Bucks Bakery in Yarck was closed! Fortunately The Giddy Goat was open, great sausage roll and coffee.

Players have been signing memorabilia and having photos taken, many now leaving the ground.

ManDee signing off from Yea Recreation Reserve.

Lever is moving and kicking well. Doesn't at all seem hindered.

 

That's good Dazzle.  Yesterday at training I saw him come off (a normal rotation) and just feel for his hammy.  He did the rest of the session but I did wonder.  If he was moving well today that's good.

How did Joel Smith train?

    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.
