Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Training on Tuesday Morning at Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations including an update on Max Gawn and a couple injury concerns for a couple of other big names.

Got down to Gosch's for this morning's run.

Taj was being put through a fair bit of running. He also had a small amount of time kicking and marking.

Max ran more than 10 laps. At one stage, he tried a drill with direction changes, that didn't last long.

The rehab also had Farris-white, K.Turner, BBB, Lever and Hibbo in it.

Hibbo looks in trouble, probably his achilles. Left training after 20 minutes.

Lever appeared to have a right hip complaint. He joined the main group after they finished their running.

Schache was in full training, he also spent time after the session, marking the high ball.

No Harmes.

Kossie looked happy.

The session was mainly about stretching the legs and having some fun.

After some run throughs, they separated into 4 stations. Short kicking drill, with movement either left or right behind the mannequin after marking. A game of keep the soccer ball in the air. A handball game with a precision target to finish the action. The final one was competitive handball, finishing with a 40-meter pass to a leading forward.

That was it. A few stayed back, working on their goal kicking. Grundy, Petty, Tracc, Moniz-wakefield, Oliver and a couple of others who I can't recall.

Clarry's goal kicking has moved up a notch or two. My throat went dry in the first quarter when I realised it was Clarry who received the handpass and was running straight at the goals through the 50 metre arc. But he nailed it.

Yes that's because our Clarry is a CHAMPION.

How do I know when training is scheduled?

The above link for when the MFC post open trainings. 

They haven't been posting lately. 

I have been using guess work.

At the moment the pattern seems. Monday or Tuesday (if a Sunday game) on Gosch's, sometime after 9.30am. Last Tuesday they trained at 11.00 am.

Then they have their main training out at Casey, Thursday 9.30am, or on Wednesday if the game is on Friday.

They will do a captains run on Gosch's at 9.30am, the day before gameday, if playing in Melbourne.

Goodluck Billy.
