Demonland

Bit concerned with Petty. He rocked up to training in the white Jumper indicating he was in one of the teams (Blue vs White jumpers). He had boots in hand but then didn’t train. Another uneducated guess but I get the feeling he was intending to train but then had a niggle or awareness and didn’t train. He didn’t do any running like the other rehabbers and just watched on the sidelines. He just walked back to the rooms with a trainer and whilst wasn’t exactly limping his walking did look hampered. Watch this space.

In case anyone isn’t aware Trac is an absolute beast swatting off opponents as he does whatever he pleases.

Clarry now stretching on the boundary after a marathon session of running. Whilst not in the main group it was great seeing him interact with players and the general feeling amongst those in the crowd watching was one of joy and optimism. Bang! Bang, Bang, Bang.

Billings too is very accurate by foot on the run hitting up targets.

Bowser is elite by foot.

Spargo getting a lot of the footy in more of a midfield role.

Gawn doesn’t have much competition around the ground and has complete aerial supremacy.

JVR gets some air time and takes a lovely chest mark.

Howes drills a beautiful pass down JVR’s throat on a lead.

JVR’s marking on a lead is lethal. Now we just need to hit him up more often.

Jefferson doing some leading and one on one marking work with 2 trainers separate from the main group.

Viney hobbling off now. Does not look comfortable running.

Viney (who is hobbling maybe a corkie) and May have joined Hore and McAdam in separating from the main group to do some run throughs along the boundary whilst the main group splits into two groups to do a keepings off handball drill with tackling.

Windsor with great closing speed to tackle AMW and stop a certain goal. With a cloud on Hunter could we see Windsor as an early round starter?

Clarry and Salem running half laps at a very quick pace.

Trac don’t argues Kolt and then somehow creates space in a sea of people accelerating out of the pack. Vintage powerful Trac.

Windsor picks the ball off the deck, sells some candy and pinpoints a bass across the ground to McVee. He has some silky skills.

Rivers is a beast with his run and follow-up off half back.

Main group has finished with the keeping’s off hand ball and tackling drill and Hore & McAdam are back with the main group. Salem went with them but then came back to the boundary. Will keep an eye on what he does.

My uneducated guess is that the players I have just mentioned as leaving the main group are being eased back in to full training and are “avoiding” the physicality of the current drill.

AMW & Jefferson have left the main group and are doing a 2 on 2 handball drill with Clarry and Selwyn.

Salem, Hore & McAdam have left the main group as well and are running laps.

Verrell has left the main group and is running laps.

Clarry doing some drills with Selwyn end with a kick to a stationary Petty.

Salem back training with the main group. Looks to be in exceptional nick.
