I’m crossing the Yarra as we speak. I’ll provide my observations on individual performances.

Shout out if there is anyone in particular you want me to comment on. 

[Demonland 71,131]

All players in Blue guernseys today

[Demonland 71,131]

Clarry is in the building (Gosch’s Paddock)

[Demonland 71,131]

Petty is present with footy boots on. 

[Demonland 71,131]

Clarry doing drills with McQualter. He was leading toward Mini zig zagging before running straight at him to mark the ball on the lead. 

[Demonland 71,131]

REHAB: Brown, Hunter, AMW, Fullarton, Turner, Clarry, TMac, Melksham, McAdam

[Demonland 71,131]

Verrell doing warmup drills with the talls. Will keep an eye to see if he’s in the main group for the rest of training. 

[Demonland 71,131]

AMW and Fullarton working on agility drills with a trainer. 

Hunter doing stretching with Brown on the fence. Now doing basic agility work with another trainer. Worrysome that he is at Browns rehab level of training. 

[Demonland 71,131]

Clarry and Max doing ruck tap/roving drills. A good sight to see. 

[Demonland 71,131]

Turner has joined Hunter and Brown in rehab. 

[Demonland 71,131]

Salem doing warmups with the main group. Will also keep an eye on him to see if he participates with the group for the whole session. 

[adonski 11,682]

Jefferson update needed..... Back in full training or match sims? 

[Demonland 71,131]

Clarry back doing drills with McQaulter separate from the main group. Mixture of short passes, handballs or ruck taps from Mini ending with snaps at goal from Clarry. 

[Demonland 71,131]

McAdam and Melk have joined the rehabbers. They are just doing kick to kick to each other at the moment. Not sure what McAdams ailment is but now doing the same agility exercises with Melk with a trainer. 

Brown and Hunter doing kick to kick about 35/40m apart.

At the moment he is with the main group doing the post warmup drills. Will keep an eye on him. 

[Demonland 71,131]

TMac just in a training singlet joining the rehabbers. He was doing warmup drills with the main group. Is wearing runners not boots. Hoping it’s a similar situation to Petty not training last week as part of a scheduled de-loading week. 

He is leaning against the fence so doesn’t appear to be doing rehab.

Petts and Salo please.  How much time with the main group?  Round 0 is approaching quickly.

[Demonland 71,131]

Steven May is training with the main group so hopefully he is over the soreness from last week.

Both in the main group for now. Will keep an eye on them when they do the “match sim” stuff later on because that will be a good indicator of where they are. 

[Demonland 71,131]

Sparrow back training with the main group. 

[Demonland 71,131]

Brown doing 150-200m jogging along the boundary. Looks comfortable. 

McAdam doing same and does not look comfortable. 

[Demonland 71,131]

Turner and TMac just chucking the ball to each other hard.
