SA Demons supporter group gathering

Slow start so far!! About 30 spectators, 2 dogs, and an d bloke asking security if the bar is open. Few kids enjoying a kick on the ground. 

Kids etc cleared off the ground, looks like things are happening. 

Any updates on Clarry, Chin and May would be great 

I’ll do my best. Crowd has swelled to over 100, unfortunately no coffee van, ( or for the old bloke, no bar open either.)

poor old bloke and its not me

Slow start, Melk working really hard with trainers, looks super fit, players wandering out now. Tom Mc is in runners with left knee strapped. May and Clarry with main group. Clarry wearing hand guard,

Ben Brown in sneakers, no sign of Chandler, McAdam, Schache and Kolt here too. I get the feeling McAdam might play. Lot of love for him from staff and players. 
Chandler in sneakers with heavy strapping on right knee.

TMac has been regularly training in runners in the recovery and Captain's run this season, (the strapping is new).

BBB as well.

Chandler limping noticeably, can’t see him getting up.

A real shame as he’s had a great start to the season.

McAdam time

Tholstrop is also training with the main group.

I've thought the same thing, looking nearly ready, though the injury report is 3-5 weeks (hamstring). He must have difficulty going top speed when running. I haven’t seen him really open up the jets.

Is McAdam sprinting?

Kolt, Shaw, McAdam, Tommo Laurie and May all training with team from Saturday. BBB and Chin only 2 not with main group. Lots of laughter.

Nobody is sprinting except Melk!!

Tom Mc and Trac are in rehab group. 

I know May is as tough as nails, but he still looks in some discomfort even doing just basic stuff.

Sometimes they have run throughs and laps, close to the end (before goal kicking) of the session.

Edited April 1, 20241 yr by kev martin

Trac and Tom Mc have joined main group 

So, apart from BBB and Chin, all players named are doing run through. BBB walking laps. Chin doing rehab stuff, very low key. BBB doing kick to kick, Chin has started that too. 

Trac is in cotton wool, doing 50% 60 metre run throughs. He exudes the impression everything isn’t ok. Sorry to be negative. 

Main group doing lots of ball handling, Tom Mc fetching balls behind goals and kicking out etc. Clarry handling ball ok, May moving much more freely. 

Trac back with main group. 

I doubt Ben Brown will do much training this season, let alone between short breaks. 
 

Does Trac have any visible bandages or strapping?
