TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

[Demonland 72,156]

Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

About 38 to 40  players down at training. 

BBB walking laps. 

Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs. 

Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints.

I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there.

Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the drills that have some contact and are doing run throughs. 

Melky, Bowser, Shane McAdam and Lachie Hunter, doing main training without any indication that they are aren't fully participating. 

Three stations, all in a competitive handball game.

Now four stations with a competitive kicking game. Some 3 on 3 , others 4 on 4.

Goody has joined one of the stations with a bib. Calls for move the ball quick ring out. Bibs play defensive. 

The whistle goes and they all head off for some goal kicking. A short look at it, as they gather centrally and set for a full oval drill. 

Jack Viney has rejoined the main group, but Kade Chandler has returned to the sheds,

The energy is great, many having a good time, calls are loud and plenty of support for their teamates.  

Two stations and doing stoppage simulations. 

Shane McAdam playing out of the stoppage area, like a high half-forward would. Occasionally looking disinterested, though that may be his demeanour. I think he is a shy kinda fella.

Troy Chaplin was doing most of the talking when they gathered.

They finished the session with some sprints along the boundary, and some runs down the middle, then off to individual stuff, goal kicking and low ball gets.

Choco working with Harry Petty on his goal kicking.

Before the runs, Shane McAdam was getting some work on his left hip. Completely the sprints, but not the runs down the middle. A trainer has continued to work on that hip now for the past 5 minutes.
