This is Roy George (not to be confused with the pop icon of the 80s, first name Boy). No, he doesn’t have a ‘TEXT’ face tattoo, that’s just me trying to caption the pic in the blinding sunlight. He wa

It's always nice to go down to a December session and see the newbies who do the odd drill, but spend most of the time looking from afar as they are handled with kid gloves - they are 18 after all.

I made it down there yesterday but was flat out heading back Nth to write before now. I was planning a big one but there are so many excellent track reporters nowadays most of it's been covered. But h

His drive and leadership is incredible. Was quick back on to his feet encouraging the others during their recoveries on the ground.

Clarry or Viney?

Kalani White is kicking the footy with another “kid”. Not sure who he is. I’m sure @Ghostwriter will pump someone for information. 

A couple of very young academy boys are here.

Could very well be a NGA prospect or a AFL Academy propsect completing his placement.

First casualty of the preseason …. Me …. I have to leave training with a migraine from dehydration. 

Hopefully I’ll be back on Wednesday.

The cones are out for the short warm-up activities

In my experience, that is helpful if the activity is listening to Dark Side of the moon.

Exercise activities not so much.

PIE CHAT: Jordan DeGoey the sole pie player running laps of Olympic Park

Looking forward to the headline in the HS reporting the huge rift in the Magpies camp.  Only one turned up to training.

Max is in a smaller group not on the same schedule as the other group. 

Max’s group is Campbell, Fritsch, Kalani White and the other kid. 

If Max is in the smaller group there must be some massive newbie that have shown up.

Trac leading his group that consists of Kolt Viney JVR Salem Rivers Billings with Clarry well at the rear

Clarry behind Billings is a worry (though later reports sound better)

Pretty sure Billings won his group, so don't think that is a worry.

Sounds like Clarry was trailing that group though, however I don't think from memory he's ever been a particularly good runner in the time trials anyway.

Billings is no slouch when it comes to middle distance. He looked impressive winning his group from a blistering final 200 by Viney!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
