Week one of training has wrapped and - to roll with the leaguewide pre-season lingo - Essendon has hit the ground running.

Almost every player on the list has returned to the track of the NEC Hangar in some capacity this week, even with just the first-to-fourth year players required.

The first handful of sessions has included gruelling fitness tests and conditioning sessions, an immediate focus on ball movement and ground structure and gradual education of the Club's new gameplan under Mark McVeigh.
