Pre-Season 'Teams'

Toot182

I noticed on Nate's twitter today he said:

The Pre season training teams competition began today ... We had the draft and it should be pretty close this year as teams are pretty even

I always find this pretty interesting and entertaining. For example, to see who are the captains, who they pick, what they do for tasks and challenges etc. I'm sure we'll get some sort of report and pics down the track, but was just wondering if anyone on the inside had any idea who the teams were or any details?

    No info Toot182 (two). Sorry.

    Just as an aside. Will be sorry to see the great Richie Benaud go after this summer. The nine commentary team will never be the same...

    Absolute legend Richie. Commentated for so long. Marvellous effort that.

    Back to thread.

    I hope Brent Moloney and Aaron Davey are the captains for this exercise.

    I am absolutely fine if this thread gets moved away from this and discusses the many Pro's of Richie, because there are way too many.... He really is the golden voice of cricket, nay, sport.

    But, hopefully, we can get some info pretty soon on the pre-season. I'm hoping some stuff will begin to come out when the new Draftee's join in a couple of weeks :D

    I heard yesterday that Ritchie has signed on for another 3 years. Obviously in response to the massive outpouring in this thread.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
