I was told today that the official start for pre season will be in two weeks time.This will no doubt give the FD time to sort out Cam Bruce's contract and complete the list - most probably in the next few days.

    Will training only be at Cassey for the summer?

    This is around a month later than what they did last year, when they started mid-October (Monday 13th). Wonder why ...

    China.

    Fair enough, but why not start next Monday (for example) if they wanted to keep the same or similar schedule?

    also as we are sitting in a bit of a better position than last season, i seem to recall october 13th being a really early pre season start. so it is just the coaching staff thinking that we are in a better position than the last few seasons, isnt it?

    I seem to recall from last year that part of the condition of the very early start to pre-season was additional time off over christmas, so perhaps the players will have less time off over christmas this year?

    Who knows, but any of the players involved in the China trip or IR series will have been in training anyway.

    You are so correct on both accounts- the one's able to train did so- naturally the ones injured or recovery is in place didn't.I here that they may go back next year to do some training over there- interesting-Ha

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
