    In the videa on afl.com.au, which shows some footage of our guys coming back to training, there is a shot of Tom McNamara on the bike next to Joel MacDonald, Jetta and Morton.

    Not sure if that is a shot from yesterday's training, but if it is, I wouldn't be surprised in Tommy McNamara were rookie listed this year, like Newton and Meesan were last year.

    We have 5 spots to fill on the rookie list, so using one for Tommy would be a good idea imo. He's still very young

    I think it is too early for this to happen.We only started training for the younger players today- older next week with a rest I think for Green & Frawley- maybe in a couple of weeks. Late November I'd expect invitees if any....I hope James Wall is one.

    Indeed, but I'd be equally unsurprised if he wasn't rookie listed. It's commonplace for players who were marginal for delisting to continue to train.

    And also, sorry to have to put on my spelling nazi hat, but it's "Meesen", not "Meesan". You've been spelling it wrong for years and it's giving me the [censored].

    Thanks a lot. Austin Wonaeamirri has got a body better suited to powerlifting than AFL. I think he's just a tiny bit too short to be good enough consistently, although I would love for him to make it. His team-mates just have to play to his strengths and not lob it to him in a two on one situation, where he'd have a snowball's chance in hell of marking it.

    Don't worry. You won't have to see that name much from now on.

    Well, Chook, you may have missed that he has been appointed as a development coach, so don't count your, uh... chickens.

    Watts looking bigger and older with that hair.

    he's still very skinny, i never really noticed it before but trengove's quite a stocky guy.

    He's got what I call a fat face, as if he's squeezed his cheeks together and had them stuck that way.

    Good to see Gysberts on the track, and Grimes. I also saw Fitzpatrick in the background.

    Is that Tapscott or rohan Bail standing just behind Aussie in the group photo?

    Those Boys look fit and Raring to go, first day back.

    That is a good sign. Trengove and Watts have grown!! B)

    Scully & LJ look out AFL.

    Watts body type makes him a hard gainer. It will take time and he has alot of work to do. Job easier for Trenners as he is shorter and looks to have a larger frame. Go Dees!

    Really? I was under the impression that Watts had a body more than capable of gaining weight, and the only limitation was a soft limit imposed by the fitness staff to ensure he had the core strength to handle the additional bulk first.

    Obviously I'm no expert (everything I've said above is 100% regurgitation from those who seem to know what they are talking about), but I've always associated the "difficulty gaining muscle" with the Cale Morton types.

    I'd love to hear from pringle or anyone else who may have knowledge of these things.

    Gee I hope not, he's a good VFL footballer but literally can not kick. He'd be a massive liability at AFL level.

    anyone know whats the training ground actually called?

    Gosch's Paddock.

    It's located just outside AAMI Park.

    There are 2 ovals - one belongs to us & the other to the pies.

    Morton tweeted that he's gained 9kgs since last year.

    I envy someone who can gain 9kgs and still look like Kate Moss' skinnier sister. Bastard.

    But seriously, I'm pretty impressed with Scully, he looks to have gained some muscle on that small body of his, and Grimes looks to be in top shape too. So now can we please start the season next week? I'm impatient!

    Bailey said 90 per cent of the squad was able to train on the first day.

    “There are a couple who are getting over hip injuries, but they’re still running, which is a good sign to be starting now, rather than post-Christmas. So we’re not too bad,” he said.

    That's the best news we could have hoped for.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
