Fingers crossed but I really think Trac’s kicking has improved. We’ve seen him have a spectrum of in play disposal from sublime to [censored]. I’ve noticed a significant improvement at training sessions. 

He is getting ready for a Left foot dribble in a GF

    Are some of the DL silks amongst the track watchers?

    Modern list management maintains the cap admirably.

    If JVR doesn’t mark it his follow up work is top rate. He doesn’t stop trying to win the ball and his ground work is fantastic for a big man. A lot of power in the hips. 

    Interesting when you remember the Weids work.

    That’s all from me. The boys look like they’re changing from boots into runners so perhaps they are going to do their sprints and warm down. 

    I’ll compile all my posts into the top post in the thread as well as add some other insights later. 

    I’ll also compile the other posters thoughts and link to them in the first post. 

    In summary; not one house in the Richmond area is left standing after we once again trained the house down. 

    I don’t know how you managed to write all those reports 

    I was planning on writing some observations but they were all so slick. 

    The list has put on serious muscle. Hunter should make a big difference to our gameplan

    There was one drill they were doing right on the fence. It was brilliant to watch up close. Tracc and Kozzie weaving through heavy traffic 

    training was not like that at the Junction Oval !! :)

    JVR received a handball from Trac running through the middle at full pace and lace outs a beautiful long pass to Bowey on a lead. 

    Bowey on a lead? Did he get lost?

    No he wasn't. A guy who was standing near me thought he saw on Jed's socials that he was in Perth. Perhaps he has some time off for some reason.

    Didn’t see you mention Joel Smith either in rehabbers or absent. Was he finally in the main group then?

    I saw Fritta on the bike for a bit in the open air gym area. Don't think he participated in anything else.

    Good to know. During last year's break he decided to put some serious ink there. I prefer the more recent addition.

    Well this is exact why I asked because he did post a insta story of himself a few days ago in a 4 wheel drive on what looked like a beach in Perth.

    Rivers is a seriously big unit now, powerfully muscled and very quick. Can see him doing some midfield minutes this year. Has grown from a boy to a man since he joined us.

    Loved the intense close in drills, everyone hard at it and very clean with their hands. Trac is awesome to watch in close weaving though heavy traffic with power and agility. He is almost impossible to tackle when he is on the move. Kozzie is also a delight to watch moving through congestion at speed with ease.

    May looks supremely fit and marked everything that came his way. Likewise Rick Lever looks to be in great shape.

    As other observers said it is great to see TMac fit and firing again, will make such a big difference to our forward structure.

    Am salivating at the the thought of our two wingers Lingers and Hunter tearing it up at the G. Saw a couple of low and accurate 30m bullet passes from Hunter into the forward line, something we lacked last year. Lingers stamina and relentless running is awesome to watch. Together with Carrie or Viney will form a powerful centre line.

    A special mention about JVR. I watched him very closely and was very impressed with how hard he works when the ball hits the ground with intense second and third efforts. He is going to be real asset for us when he finally gets the nod for his first game. He is very hard at it and has excellent evasive skills. Looks like he is being very well coached by Greg Stafford in developing his forward craft.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
