Some players were at training with there new clubs on sunday.

and some clubs fly in private jets home from perth...i dont think that melbourne should make decisions based on what other clubs are doing, but make our own decisions....and the fact that we have people moving to our team from interstate means that it is very hard for them to jump straight in, they are just young kids..some of them are moving into homes and it would be nice for them to pack/unpack and get comfortable before having to go straight to training...btw, i know the host family of cale morton and they have their own private gym so hopefully we will see early improvements on cales strength!!!

I went down for about an hour and I think that two of the new boys were training based on the evidence of everyone was shaking there hand and saying welcome.

When I arrived they did split into two groups one to traditionaly warm up and stretching while the other was very low impact with a lot of handball.

I assume they are not in full training. Bartram, Petterd, Juice, Sampi, Davey, McLean in the second group but were later in all the drills.

There was not a lot to report that with the exception of Junior . It looks to me that Junior is carrying his left (?) arm and only running but is otherwise ok.

Everyone was involved in lots of handball drills and for once I was impressed with there skills. I hardly saw a dropped ball and at some stages there were probably 20 balls going backwards and forwards.

Juice, Bartram and Petterd were all clean handed when they did drills involving both hands and at speed off a net.

When I left they were into kicking drills and that too looked encouraging with none of the sloppiness I remember seeing this time last year.

The fitness guy had a couple of people monitoring heart rates (over heard ranging from 170 to 110) and also distance the ball moved in a given time for each group had some machine set up that recorded it on a computer and he was backwards and forwards to the guys pushing them on.

This was a very organised session (ground was covered in coloured plates for different drills, which they moved seamlessly through ) and, although I liked Daniher, today had a very different feel to sessions I previously attended, I think I might like the new coach better!

Paul Gardner was there for a while and I reckon he would have walked away thinking that it looked and felt like a footy club.

I Would assume that it was Grimes and Maric that you saw there, Anything to report on them?

I don't know which was which but at one stage the bigger one was doing a handball drill with Juice and his skills were ok but compared to newton he looked rushed then I started looking down the row when you compared most to a newton or a davey those guys have all the time as they can handball without skipping to get balanced- hard to explain.

One minor point moloney was training without those heavy "bike" shorts he had on last year and seemed to moving very freely hopefully he is past his OP.

Minor point?

MINOR POINT?!

The rest was interesting, but this gave me a shiver of joy!

Fingers crossed, touch wood, all of that.

Also, no mention of Whelan or Rivers in that recovery group, anyone know if they were there and running free, or just not at training?

Amen man, i'd love Beamer to have a good year, he's had such an unlucky run with injuries. If he can get over his OP i really think he's got a bright future for us.

In fact you are correct Nugget.

Article on MFC site quotes Morton as staying with a host family for the first year.

You do realise that it takes time to move your entire life to the other side of the country, don't you?

I assume one or both of his parents work, they have obligations, probably a house they'll need to sell. So yeah, they might be making the move to Victoria, but they won't be at training tomorrow that's for sure.

Michael Newton, Brad Green, Colin Sylvia, Clint Bartram and Aaron Davey were part of an eight-man group that stood off to the side and took part in stationary hand ball drills when the intensity kicked up a notch.

I'm sorry to sound so negative, but it seems as though Sylvia will never actually partake in a pre-season from start to finish.

He is rivaling the great 426 for time spent on the 'not quite right' list.

Yeah I concur- Moving is tough for anyone. I dont know the financial situation of the parent(s) of the draftees. If they are not well off it is hard. Let them take time to move

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
