Because they trained yesterday there was some doubt about whether training would take place this morning. It is scheduled for 9:30am at Gosch’s and indeed will go ahead.

Assuming that it happens and given the long term nature of some of our injury affected players and speculation about the future of at least another, could you please look out for any train on players from the Casey Demons or elsewhere?

Re Sharpie doing his hammy just before Xmas but now back to 100% right as rain (his words), he actually DID do a hammy and he actually IS 100% right as rain. End of story.

Hendo’s sacrum is healing well but he won’t be in full training for a couple of months.

Luker says his face isn’t as bad as it sounds: a 4-cm crack from his eye socket down. He has no pain and his face looks normal. He’s swapped the no-contact hat for the mask.

Bowser in great spirits. He said his recovery is tracking well and is actually ahead of schedule, hence the high spirits.

Salem, Melksham, McAdam and CJ all participating in the warmups.

Henderson & Bowey walking laps with footys in hand.

Laurie has peeled off from the warmups to work with a trainer in rehab.

First time I’ve seen Melksham kick a footy in a drill all preseason. Moving well.

Laurie back in it the squad in the drills.

Split off into a couple of different drills.

1. Most of the players line up to kick to a leading forward running towards the kicker with one defender on his tail and another defender to his side as an interceptor. Immediately after that play another player will kick to that forward who has now tried to get out the back of the two defenders heading towards goal.

2. 4 vs 4 close quarters keepings off handball drill - rucks Heath/Jamar Kolt, Trelly, Windsor vs Langford, Sparrow, Langdon.

3. Lever and Jefferson working with one of the trainers.

4. JVR vs Taylor one on one leading drill. Mentha vs Berry doing the same.

2. 7 vs 7 loose ball get on the half forward line trying to get the ball deep inside 50.

Going to assume Salem is at the tail end of a 3-4 week hammy and he'll be good to go for the praccy matches?

Heath running laps with Salem.

Damn I could have gone today.

Good to hear Melk up and about.
