Training notes 22/02/25 - Lav, Perkins(corkie), Redman, Davey, Parish, Cox, running laps. - Durham back in full contact - A best 17/18 sperated from the rest today. - The rest - 2MP, Jones, Hayes, Roberts, Saad, Hobbs, Edwards and Setters - these guys will fight it out for remaining 3 - 4 spots.

Training Notes - 20/02/2025 - Parish jogging slow laps. Still ginger - Davey & Redman ran laps. Davey looking good, not far off - Nguyen, Vigo & ADW - modified training - No Cox or Guelfi & Edwards (still in Perth) All others did most of the training session which focused on ball movement

Welcome Tom! www.afl.com.au/news/1269760

What we saw today from most of the boys was the same as what I have seen over the pre-season, with the exception of Edwards. He exceeded my expectations and really showed some AFL traits. I think we have to sign him now off the back of that.

Training Notes 12/02/25 - McKay and Jones in full training, so was Johnson. - Durham training with non-contact hat - Rids, Cox, ADW, Nguyen ran laps - No Parish - Guelfi only had surgery yesterday on the hammy. Captains run this Friday into Bulldogs match on Saturday

With pre-season games around the corner, it's a good opportunity to sum up what I have noted over the pre-season and see if it translates into the real stuff! Overall game plan - ball movement is definitely a lot faster, more over lap handball, even some kick outs from FB going long up the middle

Training Notes 8/2/25 Not a full intraclub, about 1.5 hour session. A team vs B team for the first half and the A team dominated, skill level was the best of the pre-season. Players that impressed - Draper, Bryan, Shiel, Reid, Caldwell, Perkins, Kako, Tsatas, Gresham, Langers, 1/3

Training Notes 4/2/25 Standard session today not much to report but there are some injury/rebab updates. - Jones, Nguyen and Day-Wicks now running laps - McKay did the full session including 1v1 - Parish, Lav and Durham running laps - No Cox Next session Thursday 10:30

Training Notes 1/2/25 About a 2 hour match sim session. Durham, Rids, Lav and Parish running laps (Darcy a concern now, unless they ramp him up this week? McKay did early drills before missing match play, should play some match time next week I think. No Guelfi ( hoping no set back) 1/3

Training Notes 30/1/25 Craft and skills session today with a bit of ball movement drills. Edwards was there (he is a bit light in body frame, hard to judge skill level, will see more on Saturday's match sim) Hoare, Sellers and Baldwin are still training with the squad Injury and stand outs below

Tom Edwards at training today.

Training Notes 24/1/25 A good 3 hour session that started an hour earlier than advertised. Match sim notes: - Draper BOG, dominated whoever he was on, kicked goals, big one clunk marks, kicked well. Career pre season for him 🔥 - Tsatas continues to shine - Perkins really involved today 1/3

Training Notes 22/1/25 - Managed session with a little match sim - Draftee's away at induction day - Hoare, Sellers and Baldwin trained, No Edwards yet - Tsatas continues to catch the eye 😍 - Caldwell involved in some match play 👀 - Davey didn't train - Draper continues to show he can play fwd 🔥

Essendon have invited high-flying Swan Districts forward Tom Edwards to be a train-on to finish pre-season Swan Districts forward Tom Edwards will get a chance to try to earn a spot on Essendon’s list after being invited to train later this month. 25 yr old.

Training notes 20/1/2025 Good news on the injury front - - Shiel completed the whole session - Hobbs rehab group but moving fine, maybe a bruised shin - McKay ramping up his running. A managed session for a number of players, but it was still a 2.5 hr hit out working on skills and ball movement.
