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

Does Trac have any visible bandages or strapping? 

No, maybe just general soreness.

    Trac looks fine, no strapping, just not his normal self. The only people with noticeable strapping are Chin and Tom Mc

    As training progresses (very casually) and the boys start handing out little footys, BBB and Chin are alternating on the bike. Clarry is in seemingly no discomfort, May still seems sore, Tom Mc did stuff all, Trac was VERY limited and had a long chat with Goody, Chin was very down, shaking his head, BBB walking ok, but not trying to do anything intense. Everybody else seemed ok, BUT, I am 58 and I could have completed that training no problem!!

    I have a feeling Trac and Clarry are both playing with one hand tied behind their back(s).

    In the Hawthorn game Trac was in visible discomfort with one of his hands and it was the one he ran 100m to punch the ball through for aa point with

    Trac may be playing with a leg injury because it was obvious against Port that he was labouring on occasion when he tried to put on the jets

    I wouldn’t take much out of today, they’ve only had one day of rest after what was a pretty physical encounter.
    Our main session would be in two days if we had a full week between games.

    There was one point in the 3rd that Trac pulled up sore in a contest.

    I remember this, he looked proppy on a left knee/ankle maybe on the outer wing, took his kick but didn’t look comfortable at the time. Channel 7, in their usual way, didn’t follow it up (despite having two boundary riders!).

    That was the one. The camera did pan back to him at the next stoppage and he looked to be walking ok. I think he was off the ground for a little bit after that but they never did any follow up with the boundary riders to get an update.

    Tholstrop is also training with the main group. 

    Had a good game at Casey.

    If Chandler doesn't get up he could be in.

    PS Given that the sub is no longer a "medical" sub I wonder if we will relax the policy of debutants not being named as the sub

    There is of course Laurie who would come into consideration if Chandler is not available

    Smacca (McAdam) said he'll be right to play by next Monday (roughly).*

    Whether that's via Casey or straight in... who knows.

    *subject to no further setbacks

    The 5 day break came at the worst possible time.

    I personally don’t think there’s ever a good time for a 5 day break. 

    They only exist to satisfy Channel 7 and their insatiable desire for Thursday night footy. Which, when we’re involved, I hate.

    We really should have been scheduled to play Port on the Friday night giving us a 6 day break. The AFL should try to avoid 5 day breaks as much as possible if not at all.

    crows won't have got too much of an advantage.  one more day for them, but they had the long flight before and after their game which would have cut into that extra day

    plus crows got 2 injuries to mllera and  murphy - both knee injuries

    Crows played Friday in Perth.

    It's fair

    Look on the bright side. We are playing Adelaide when they are in a slump and the same with the Lions. Win those two and we are setting up a solid launchpad for top 4.

    Five weeks ago few if any would have thought we could win all three

    It looked to me like he jarred his knee. Very frustrating they never followed up. But he seemed to run it out by the next contest and played out the game. If he did jar it he would be mighty sore today. Fingers crossed he gets up.

    Trac’s a warrior, I saw that knee jar too but the way he plays he’s probably sore mid week every week….be surprised if it was enough to keep him out

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
