I imagine we will have a very light week on the training track given the short turnaround, and then another interstate trip.

0 stars for the AFL fixturing. First time all year we've had two consecutive games at home all season, and it's coming off a 5 day break. Cheers Gil. 

At least after the bye we only travel twice.

Spargo stayed firmly on the ground.

In general that's what I am used to.

The first quarter against the Swans was a show stopper

That’s the worry. He has missed a lot of footy, both high intensity training and matches. We need him back but we need him back all guns blazing and playing 4Q of footy. Half fit or limited game time is not what the team needs. I would rather go with a fully fit alternative defender like a Turner than a player not 100 percent ready. 

Goody clearly stated on the weekend that Salo had had an excellent pre season before his injuries about Round 1 and afterwards.  Yes some fitness would be down but not to use your expressions not "half fit or limited game time". 

Salo would /should have at least 2 Casey games and not be rushed like last year before he was fully fit and ready. 

He might be available for AFL straight after the bye if 4 weeks is realistic time for resumption in VFL.

Goodwin said Salem was a month away. Glad they are going to take their time with him. Need him for the back half of the season. 
 

3 weeks Gorg but with Goody's 'no risk' policy he might be adding the extra week.

What's the old Irish saying...

So Salem is in full training but Goodwin says he's 4 - 5 weeks away, what am I missing? I'd so love a fit Salem at HB for the last 10 weeks of the season

3 weeks away Roost according to Salo

He was on light duties.

The light duties players (Hibbo, McVee, Fritsch) were on the field for about 30 minutes

Was today full training day?

Wonder how they had the forward set up? If so was Petty still there working with the forwards?

No very far from a full training. Just a quick, boisterous run which had a bit more intensity then normal.

They didn't split into the lines.

It has been suggested to me that they won't have a main training session this week.

Next one is the captain's run on Friday, 9.30 am Gosch's paddock. (Probably)

Thanks Kev and all posters difficult to get any serious training in with a five day break when coming off so much travel and a hard tough Monday night game.!!

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
