PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 7th March 2025

[GS_1905 352]

Is there going to be a match sim over the weekend?

[Demons1858 1,822]

Selwyn instructed players to head for gym for a session with Tommy Turner the strength and conditioning coach. Suspect that's the main reason for players attending today as the ground training has never been so light. 

Kolt injury still being monitored before a return to full training is decided.

Bring on moomba

Did they confirm his injury is back related?

Rather than elbows knees or toes?

That looks like a wrap. Not much to report today!

[Harvey Wallbanger 1,395]

As reported a light fun session - not even any running, probably because they will do an intraclub tomorrow at Casey.

Absent: McVee and Woewodin (just the other 41, no George)

Injury/Rehab: Culley in a moon boot, Hore's bandage off, but still just using one hand. JVR and Petty seem fine. Melksham and Spargo did everything and Kolt also joined the drills.

Apparently back at Gosch's next Tuesday and for the Captain's Run next Saturday

It’s his foot. Unless the medics have lied to him, that is. He says it’s his foot.

AFL injury report is hopeless they had it listed as back on Tuesday

[Ghostwriter 5,459]

Jai’s moonboot is purely precautionary because he has “a very minor foot thing”

His favourite Dees player growing up? Despite the media citing Max and Vines, he actually has never had a single favourite player, rather he loved the midfielders. Even as a little kid he’s always loved the midfielders.

Was he a Dee’s fan?

Through and through. Third generation of diehard Dees fans. His family is delighted he’s now a Dee. He admitted he was anxious about getting on our list but when it happened it was the best birthday gift ever.

Big thanks Ghostwriter, Demons1858, Demon Jack, Harvey Wallbanger & Kev if you are there, plus all posters and special comments. Pretty light run today, great to hear that Rooey, Petty and Spargs are all in full training and Kolt is back training lightly in boots and hopeful that Jai isn’t seriously injured.👍😁

Thanks K.C.

Glad he will be with Casey but was specifically referring to him (no longer) training with the MFC senior squad.

I reckon every boy dreamed of playing for his favourite team. (Probably girls now too!)

You reckon that will be open to the public Ghosty or just creep vibes through the fence?

[Kev 10,924]

All about bonding.

Most of the drills had a competive edge to it.

Golf with a footy, closest to the pin.

 Group handballing, with one more ball than the number of contestants. The one handling two balls was out, last man standing gets the chocolates. 

Snaps for goal off passes, two teams, first one to countdown to zero wins.

Two groups, handles ball then passes to end the set. First to finish wins.

Kind of juvenile, they were all regressed back to teenagers. Plenty of noise and excitement filled the paddock.

Now that the AFL list is complete, and the season is about to begin, I don't think we'll see Roy training with the main group again. First Casey match is against North on Sunday 23rd March at 11.05 am - makes it tricky to get to both games!

Unfortunately not open. Creep vibes through the fence will have to suffice.
