17 in the main squad.

4 in the light duties, Hibbo, McVee, Fritsch, JVR.

2 in rehab, Chandler and Verral

K.Turner doing his own program.

A morning game of soccer after some running.

Those who played for Casey aren't down.

Schache has damaged a right wrist, large black supprt on it. Came on the field late. Only marking with left, doing some work and kicking with a personal trainer.

All those on light duties, including Chandler have joined the main squad for skills training. 

They are looking sharp.

Now they are into longer runs, Chandler has stepped aside.

For someone who is apparently struggling with something, Chandler is playing bloody sensational football. Same goes for Fritta. 
 

JVR on light duties not a surprise. Wondering if he’s going to get a rest this week. He won’t make it to September without proper breaks.

Yep. Him and McVee could do with a rest within the next two weeks.

"Yep. Him [JVR] and McVee could do with a rest within the next two weeks. "

By " a rest " do you mean playing at Casey or just vegging out?

interesting to know who is more lethal shooting for goal Kade or Fritter. So good to have 2 sharp shooters in the forward line. Kade's field kicking is also fantastic. I don't remember him being as good at Casey.

Disappointing to hear about Schache. Looks like Petty is a straight in this weekend.

over the years I have noticed that while you may get more time to kick at VFL level you seldom get the same space as you do at AFL level.

Chandler is showing the knack of finding that space and it's paying off

Petty wasn't at training, which was a concern as well.

Given that Schache was still training, without using his hand, there is still a possibility.

He’s not out of concussion protocol yet so maybe that’s why he isn’t training?

Was Spargo training?

Sorry if this has been addressed before, but does the "Concussion Protocol" (which sounds like a rejected Jason Bourne movie title) mean that players are not allowed to train until the 12 day minimum period has expired?

Not totally sure but I think training is treated the same as a game.

This is probably the game to select him and make him sub for his 99th game for the Dees.

BOG for Casey and hasn't played a lot lately so reasonably fresh legs if called upon.

    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.

    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.
