Sean Wellman speaks of how its all going so far with reports ..so far ...so good.. still early but encouraging signs...etc etc etc.

I suppose it could be fairly reasonably argued that its highly unlikely anything too different form this would be uttered.

Still in reading the article one particular thing stood out for this punter :

"The Demons have taken a different approach to pre-season training under head coach Dean Bailey and Wellman is confident the players have benefited from the change.

“I think the players have really enjoyed it,” he said.

“I think the feedback from the players has been very positive. There has been a lot of game-based training rather than just running laps or doing 1km time trials.

“Dean’s really tried to incorporate the fitness into game-based drills because he’s obviously trying to teach a new style. It’s a really good opportunity to keep the fitness up, but work in that game-day stuff as well; I guess we’re killing two birds with one stone.”

Finally... stuff all this fitnes at all costs approach.. we have seen how this fell over with some of our games !!

Footy at the end of the day is about "PLAYING FOOTY " yes you need fitness and such in order to do it...but the "IT" is , and alwys should be about playing the game. Thankfully the new bloke actually wants to play the game and not compete in the Olympics !!! Halelujah !!

all rather pleasing to hear :)

I found a tape on the floor under the seat of my car of a programme on SEN where Liam Pickering and The Ox interviewed Neale Daniher in the week before last year's Round 1 match v St. Kilda. Suffice to say, all was well then. Very few injuries and looking forward to the start of a new season. New fitness person Bohdan had gotten all the players up to their fittest ever. All rose coloured glasses stuff. Early December is way too early to say "all's well".

like the sound of a heavy emphasis on game based training. Tom Harley stated what some may of thought was obvious. its not allways your turn to kick a goal, sometimes its your turn to chase,tackle ,sheppard, make a lead that may be ignored to create space for someone else. whether we have the ball or not everyone must know their role.no loose ends . our defence is often to slow to react. from everything i here we will be well drilled. during ND`s last couple of years there was a focus on tempo footy. part of the evolution of this game. allthough ND didnt bring us ultimate success, he did leave us in reasonable shape.Bailey has a lot to work with

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
