Was mentioned a couple of weeks ago on here that Fritta appeared to have an issue with his foot/leg. Great news is the problem was identified and promptly dealt with: no surgery required. He’s now iss

The days with modern scientific coaching methods, the coaches will keep the players well hydrated and they will most certainly train tomorrow.

Imagine how we would look if we called off training and all of the other clubs trained? The media and supporters of other clubs would have a field day.

Yeah nah. Don’t think that will happen. 
I swear I saw a couple players melt last year on one of the hotter days. 
Asked somebody about it, but they said it was sublime.

I was told there’s no change to start time today, nor to intensity or length of the session. Peter, the head physio said “we play in all conditions, we train in all conditions.”

Anyways as I type this it’s starting to rain here in Snorbs (the stabbing capital of Victoria) so it might not be as bad as forecast. 🤷‍♀️

In the past they’ve cancelled sessions due to extreme heat and even due to heavy rain. But that’s not the case now. I’d say only hail or lightning would effect a cancellation nowadays.

I’m not worried about Clarrie… he’s very diligent with applying and reapplying sunscreen. It’s Spaz I worry about because while he isn’t mayonnaise on Wonder White like me and Clarrie, he only applies sunscreen to the top of his ears, and nowhere else. 😭

Tracc is the most sensible in this regard: he’s the only one who wears one of those foreign legion hats.

Wheels told me he took Ricky camping and fishing on Saturday. Ricky had never done either before. There were other boys on the little overnight camping thing. As Wheels put it… the “brother boys” went and they had a great time.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
