MAX GAWN insisted he would train on Wednesday, and it turns out the All Australian ruckman is a man of his word.
After missing Monday's session to monitor his training loads, Gawn joined teammates out on Gosch's Paddock for the club's main session.
Both Neville Jetta and Alex Neal-Bullen, who also missed Monday's session, trained fully and look certain to face the Eagles in Saturday's preliminary final in Perth.
During the warm-up component of training, Gawn took the main ruck taps and worked with midfielders Angus Brayshaw, Jack Viney, Clayton Oliver and Bernie Vince, who is pushing for a recall.
The big man then joined in the club's match simulation and moved well, showing no signs of any injury.
Although the Demons are not expected to change a winning line-up, Vince and defender Joel Smith are considered to be possible inclusions.
Oscar McDonald got some work done on his lower back and youngster Charlie Spargo got his finger assessed and taped, but both returned to training without further concern.
McDonald rejoined training and seemingly moved well, but it was then decided by the club's fitness he should leave the session to avoid any further discomfort.
It seemed a precaution as much as anything, but one to keep an eye on later in the week.
Up to 1000 fans lined the boundary to watch the players train, with merchandise tents, face painting booths, food trucks and a sausage sizzle all taking place for the supporters attending.
