Yes, I am at Gosch's now.

Any questions? 

Is that a Parmi and Salad on your profile pic? Are they capers on the top left?

*H Petty - is he doing anything of note?

It's a section of my home made pizza and salad.

Only the staff on the field at the moment.

Glimpsing the red training tops,, as they meander to the truck and cover.

Music beats start up, they mingle with trainers and coaches, a few doing dinky passes, coaches separate., whistle blows and they gather.

Tracc is with them.

No sign of Petty.

Light duties, Tracc, Viney, Lever, Fritta, Hibbo, BBB. Joined the skill drills.

Rehab, TMac, Tomlinson, Spargo, they are in rehab tops and are wearing runners. They have joined in the skilss drills, taken by Williams.

Plenty of short kicking (look at the target then the ball, is Chocos advice). Plenty of goal kicking practice under supervision, then their out.

No sign of Harmes.

You're a legend. Thanks so much for doing these reports. 

I'm wondering is it typical from what you've seen for JV to be on light duties during the week and especially at the beginning of the week. I am wondering if his foot is a permanent issue that they have to manage all the time. Mind you so far it sure isn't effecting his career best season.

Viney was mainly having a different warm up than the others, using resistance bands.

Thanks. I'm wondering if this is a permanent thing with him that he is being managed like this every week. Possibly to manage his long term foot injury.

Very worrying about Petty. Maybe he won't train much this week to help reduce the bruising?

Good to Trac is out there. If it was at all serious he surely wouldn't train.

Looking as though he might be needed.

Training well, kicking goals, and working on his process.

Salem was very comfortable and appeared happy to be out there.

Two AFLW players got some training from Mark William's. Eliza West and another I didn't recognise.

With Sparrow out is any other player doing more midfield type work or they doing generic style training today and not position specific.

You’d think JJ will play a full game and Clarry and Trac will play more minutes than they have been to cover for him. Harmes would be another option but sounds like he wasn’t at training which doesn’t bode well.

Agree, I thought JJ in and Harmes to the sub, but they might throw Rivs in instead or a young kid from Casey as a sub. Sometimes in training you see someone in a different position. Would be good to know if that occurs.

Thanks Kev and all posters great that Tracc is unhampered and no other real injury woes but a bit concerning that Harmes was unsighted. Also how did Bowey look, lucky to be alive. Ha ha.!!

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
