Rehab consists of Hannan, King, ANB & Filipovic... doing marking and ball handling under some pressure, with Crossy... Macca was here too for the marking. They are doing a lot of contact work with the tackle bags. All look close to joining main group

Arrived 10 minutes late due to Bridge Rd Tram! Cool morning, no breeze, damp underfoot but no rain at the moment. All accounted for except Tyson, Kent and haven't noticed Garlett yet. JKH celebrating membership of the main group with flouerescent orange boots!

Thanks for reports Saty & CB

Didn't see Tim Smith at training on Monday

Mahoney is suggesting that Dom will be back in the pre-season comp... reports of his demise are premature!

My conversation with Dom was last Thursday. I was there early and he was walking laps before the main group left AAMI. It was short and sweet. I'm pretty sure he said it was right knee and he was waiting on scan results. He intimated that he would have to wait and see. He was hoping that his level of fitness would let him play games soon after getting the ok to resume. I believed every word... still do!

Full ground spread now, very quick movement and the occasional blooper as they are constantly under pressure. Overall, the standard is impressive. Will leave you on this note... we'll talk!

The half backs, Bernie, Salem, Wagner and Frost are in a side step and short kick activity. Now all called back into centre of ground

Have to leave soon. Main group still rotating through small group in close stuff. Can't help but notice how good Viney is in these in an under activities. He and Jones are very competitive

JKH and ANB now also running the boundary at pace. Cool conditions now, ideal for training.

Hibberd also stretching out on the boundary now. Main group split into smaller groups for in close handball and tackling routines. Lots of body contact in this one. One small group still doing short kicks under pressure from a defender

The activity just mentioned culminates in a long kick to someone running full pace into goal square

Watts running boundary and stretching out for 200. Trenners doing strengthening with elastic straps. Main group on full ground pass and play on activity

Hulett

31 in main group today currently doing short sprints

McKenna in main group

Rehab group really stretching out, some full ground activity. None look far from joining main group

100+ spectators and channel 7 watching

Others not sighted so far, Hulett, Johnstone, Hannon, Filipovic, McKenna

Wagner in main group

Hogan here, no sign of Tyson or Kent just yet

Just arrived. Jack Watts in rehab with ANB, King, JKH & Hibberd ... main group in lap warm-up

There was a report on the other training thread that stated Tyson did his knee at Anglesea training camp very recently

I haven't commented in much detail about the activity this morning as it seemed to be relatively low key, going through the motions. The weather is quite warm and humid in Melbourne today and there was a light breeze blowing across Gosch's Paddock. I did notice that McDonald and Pederson were doing a lot of the stuff with the main group, Melksham was also back into the main program. There were no real stand outs for me... but Petracca looked clean (Oscar not so!), Lewis was notably accurate by foot (even surprising himself with one right foot pass that hit its mark... much to the skipper's joy!). Spencer looks fit and ready on standby should the unthinkable happen! Jack Viney loved being involved in the main program and Bernie always delights with his skill by foot and hand.

I assumed the latter, but was unsure! Perhaps he meant they will be there for the four days immediately following Aust Day!
