Kangaroos Leap Into Pre‑Season as McVeigh Watches the Dons

Nick Blakey’s kangaroo‑style leap onto the training track set the tone for the day, while Essendon’s McVeigh kept a hawk‑eye on the action.

The Kangaroos have started their pre‑season under new coach Jaymie Graham, with a select group of players hitting the track on Monday.

Across the precinct, Essendon’s McVeigh watched the drills closely, taking note of the Kangaroos’ movements.

They weren’t the only club breaking a sweat – other AFL teams were also out on the training fields.

There are no scores to report yet; it’s all about the drills, the whistles and the occasional tumble as the clubs gear up for the upcoming season.
