Demonland

Half court match SIM has started. Kentfield and Petty not taking part and doing one on one work with a trainer. AMW also not taking part.

Steele has come off and taken the boots off and put on runners. Watch this space.

Other drill: 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.

Very aggressive one vs one drill on far side of the ground.

The players in the midfield drill have now changed with Max and Heath still rucking. Culley Kolt & Windsor vs Steele, Langdon, Trelly.

Rivers doing separate work away from the group with Selwyn Griffiths. Runs and picks up a stationary ground ball and then sells candy around one of the stationary metal men.

Laurie is on the bikes so must have tweaked something. The others are jogging around the boundary.

Rehab: Salem, Melksham, CJ, AJ, Henderson & Laurie

Midfield drill Max, Langford, Lindsay, Chandler Heath, Pickett, Sparrow, Onley

First drill about to start so we will get to see who is actually in the rehab groups.

Henderson with a trainer doing exercises which appears to be ticking through boxes before he is cleared to return to full training. He is wearing a training guernsey for the first time this preseason which is a good sign.

CJ has some kind of compression band around his quad/hamstring. He is in what appears to be a smaller rehab/RDO group doing warmups consisting of Salem, Melksham, Laurie and Johnson.

Viney has arrived in non-guernsey training gear.

Campbell still in neck brace on the boundary watching on.

Salem and Henderson doing warmups with the squad.

Absent: May, Viney, Bowey, McAdam, White

Petty is no longer in the fluoro “no contact” hat. Kentfield is still wearing the fluoro hat.

Max does not have the big brace on his hand. It is now just taped.

The sun is shining and the heat is rising!!!! The boys in red guernseys are making their way onto Gosch’s Paddock.
