Gleeson out
Rance in

Love seeing a few leaders around. Obviously the future captains like Ridley and McGrath

But:
J.Kelly - vocal and bar setter on longer distance
Hind - Very vocal and probably even more so this year now he's settled
Parish
Rance (Even though it's meant to be as a coach)

I'm preying for this to be Francis time, but he's been talked up every PS for a while now. Hope he's at the next level fitness wise and we don't put a line through him down back

 

[ghostdog]

Courtesy of Nackers on Blitz: A few players have also been seen back training for a few weeks already, including Bryan who’s put on a bit more bulk, Francis and Stringer, who according to reports is in even better condition than last year, and has been doing a lot of extra work during the off season.

Stringerrr.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Isn't that Brand up the back with the buzz cut behind Hind?

That's also shown a hairline recession?

 

[brendan84]

I know it’s early, but just give us the flag now

 

[Old Campaigner]

Parish looks a lot bigger

 

[Donakebab]

Our training session made the news in Canberra! First time I can remember a mid week story for us up here and its a positive one. Vax champs!

Meanwhile Carlton got a serve.

It's nice.

 

[JDavey]

Anyone know why Parish is in the modified group?

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

So are we back 2 weeks earlier than other sides but only back part time until Christmas...is that right??

I spy:
1st-5th: Caldwell, Hind, Durham, Cox, Perkins, Reid, Brand, Baldwin, Waterman, Hird, Jones – injured, Bryan, Ham, Guelfi, Zerk-Thatcher
6th+: Kelly, McGrath, Ridley, Clarke (delisted), Parish, Francis, Heppell

Absent:
1st-5th: Eyre, Snelling, McBride - Ireland?
6th+: Wright, Cutler, Phillips, Stringer, Smith, Stewart, Draper, Redman, McDonald-Tipungwuti, Langford, Laverde, Merrett, Hurley - injured

There are some 6th+ that I can hardly believe are in their 6th year of footy... We have like two players left that we acquired prior to 2013 on our list (Heppell and Hurley), all of the other senior players were traded in more recently.

Eyre and Brand both could be seen in the promo video the club did with Jones, so they are there in some capacity?

Anyone know why Parish is in the modified group?

Probably just easing back into it. Could’ve stayed at home for an extra 2 weeks if he wanted.

 

[Keystone agony]

Anyone know why Parish is in the modified group?

Trying to hold him back as much as possible i think

Dont want him to overload and burn out. Carried a huge load last year with Zac

Thats just what i reckon without knowing exactly, he might have an injury but i didnt hear of any off season surgery?

 

[Towno78]

Anyone know why Parish is in the modified group?

His preseason starts officially in 2 weeks.

On the mic | Harrison Jones

Key forward Harrison Jones takes us through day one of the Dons' first-to-five-year players' pre-season campaign.

A bit of stuff I found floating around Twitter.













A lot more pics and a couple more vids floating around on those two accounts, I’ve already done a lot of cutting and pasting though so if you want to look at more just click onto the links.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

That's pretty good to hear regarding Brand.

[Keystone agony]

Baldwin the mid maybe Rendell was onto something. 193

 

[Bjchan13]

Yes Frang!

 

[revival_mode]

man i hope Baldwin gets a run at it. sounds like he could be massive for us

 

[Schnitzengruben]

I have noticed in the pre-season footage that our players look stronger which I thought we've thoroughly lacked in years gone by. Good to see.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

It depresses me that the 'over 25' group are classified as seniors.

I have noticed in the pre-season footage that our players look stronger which I thought we've thoroughly lacked in years gone by. Good to see.

Been nervous to do so since ASADA

 

[Bjchan13]

Not sure if you believe it or not but i just had an epiphany. Baldwins dominating next year
