DOF if you're still there can you ask Choco where Harmes is at pls ... cheers

Sorry mate.  Couldn’t catch him. I was too involved getting player photos.  Our boys were so, so obliging!  All of our 5 Demon-mad grand Children will love me forever for this.

Summary:  Like every ‘Captain’s Run’, the mood was up-beat, and the skills (under no pressure) were precise.  I loved the banter, I loved the ‘voice’ when things got a little bit more serious, and I loved the obvious camaraderie between the players. They were having fun, and so was I!  

My main (humble) take-always were:

  • Kossi is primed.  His skills and goal kicking were sublime, and he looked a million bucks (but I hope we don’t have to pay him quite that much!).  On two occasions, I saw him and Goody embracing.  Read into that, whatever you want.
  • Based on positioning at today’s mini match sim, Petts will play back on the weekend.
  • Chandler was doing some solo set shots towards the end. He nailed most of them from around 40m in a ’tricky’ cross wind.  Looked good!  He was also very vocal in the drills.
  • Max isn’t too far away. He wasn’t involved in any of the drills, but was running and kicking at what I’d estimate at 75%+, before most of the others took to the field.  No knee strapping was a good sign imo.
  • Grundy is growing in fitness.  Gee he was quick off the mark in short sharp bursts in the mini match sim.
  • Hard to estimate who might be sub, but Lawrie looked really classy in the ‘easy’ going.
  • FWIW, there’s been a bit of very light drizzle over the last hour where I am (about 5/6 km from Adelaide Oval).

Out of the horses mouth Petty will be starting in the backline.

BBB, Tmac and the boy wonder as the 3 talls unless this rain continues and we bring in a small.

Went to the Rich v Swans game started raining in the last quarter and are expecting this continuous amount of rain throughout our game also.

Not sure how the 3 tall set up will work but can see Melk getting a run out during the 3rd if the rain continues like this might even be a late change.

All good DOF.  Sounded like a fantastic day.  Sounds like you're based over there?

Does he look in the mood of signing? 🤔

Perhaps hand him a piece of paper and see what he does with it... 

Can confirm, it happened.

Yes, it was fantastic.  Players so generous with their time!   We drove down from Canberra.  Making a bit of a holiday of it.  Great Ocean Road and visiting some wineries etc.

Kosi signed alot of Autographs along with the rest of the lads and was one of the last Dees along with Vines to hit the showers.

I'll also add Gawny is not too far away with his injury, looks as if he is pushing for Anzac Day Eve but sensibly might get held back by the brains trust.

What a magnificent Captain we have, after his block of training was complete he was signing and taking photos with teenagers, new born babies, Grown men and the like.

Really privileged to have a pilliar of the community leading our club.

Watching Richmond in person there is no rush whatsoever but the occasion.

To the lads credit they were very polite and engaging well with the crowd, about 1500 attended the captain's run.

Goody and Chocco were magnificent in engaging and getting around the suppoter base, really embracing the Demon spirit.

Max Gawn and Ben Brown did a big running session this morning. Think it would suggest Brown will be a late out this afternoon because of the weather. 

You were on the money there Nasa

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
