Steven May came off late and didn't look comfortable. Tried a couple of run throughs and shook his head. He spoke to the trainer and went inside. What this space I reckon.

I ventured down a bit before 9.30am and missed the start of training.  They were doing the usual drills and some short kicking.  As reported Hunter and Jefferson were doing repeat run throughs which s

I’m down from Sydney and dropped into training with the family. It was good to meet Kev Martin and WCW for a bit of a chat.    Overall it was a solid session with plenty of intensity in the mat

It's a wet morning, ball is like soap to a few. Rehab had Jefferson and Hunter working with a trainer, ball work and fitness drills. Farris-White mainly running laps. Melksham and BBB in the shed

This is great to hear, been mixed reviews so far. Hopefully it's a sign that he's a quick learner?

They have this part of training every session where the noobs (rookies and new to the Club) train together away from the main group. My mate is excited about Caleb… right now he’s NOT in the noobs group as he usually is… he’s with the main group!

Do we think Schache is a genuine chance for round 1 as ruck/forward?

I don't mind it personally if he's upped his physicality, as he is super mobile.

Yep. He’s a lock for the unused substitute role

Oh that’s so funny it hurts. And so original, too! 🙄 

Anyways, apparently he’s going toe to toe with Max today and definitely NOT disappointing. I’ve been noticing, like most of the boys, he’s really toned up and is looking pretty strong. Also, on Wednesday, he was receiving praise from the coaches and at one point out in the middle all the boys applauded him and some were patting him on the back.

Hey WCW, just a note that noob is a bit more of a put down term and mainly comes from online gaming.

Newbie might be a better term if you don’t want to offend!

No worries, thanks 👍🏽 I thought noob was just another word for newbie… I didn’t know it was a derogatory term. It’s especially important for me to know this since putting our players down is something I simply don’t do.

Not a problem at all and I know that wasn’t and would never be your intention!

Contact injury? Or was he trying to avoid the running session?

I didn't actually see what happened or how the injury was caused. Yeah it was a very convenient time to pack it in 🤣. I'll be attending training on Monday so I'll report back then.

I found out that there was no training today and that I wasted my time and petrol driving to Casey. I'll head to Gosch's on Wednesday and report back.

Angus Brayshaw on today’s performance would be top of the leader board or very close to it. Any number of the others would be still working on their ‘skills’ …

…swings, slices, drivers or irons? and put put

Also good signs for Fullarton not hampered with his swings, etc, also good to see Jonesey, Rigoni and Nicholson in the Coterie group.😁

I assume no one was able to get down to training today?

Someone on Bigfooty went to training and said it was a full match sim.

Gawn was BOG by that far it wasn't funny. Sparrow, Viney, Spargo, Bowey and Brayshaw were reportedly good.

May went off injured with a groin to continue our best pre season since 2018/2019 but he said it wasn't serious.

A friend told me Caleb Windsor was super impressive in the full match sim today. Just about BOG.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

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.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
