agree it can be misread but i think it is usually meant over a season long kinda thing?

and thats not soo true about october i have a few mates who play afl, and they work themselves quite hard over october so they dont lose anything, or get in a position where they could cause themself an injury during preseason

Ever heard of a little thing called dry wit? Or sarcasm, perhaps?

FWIW, I agree with some others that Newton's been told to chuck on some weight in the pre-season in preparation for a pinch-hitting role in the ruck. There's plenty of time to trim down and get definition but I'd wager under that healthy layer of insulation that there would be some significant muscle bulk.

    And JT looks like he's added some considerable height and weight since last pre-season. He should become quite an imposing unit on the field.

    The few weeks between the end of the season and the start of training is full of magic! Players can bulk up, grow taller or turn to blobs with the click of a Canon.

    God-damn Newton. I want him to succeed so much, just to shut you flogs up, but how can I defend a guy who looks like that? Nice computer, though.

    Same here, and Man City? argh

    Any sign of Gawn?

    Gawn, Tappy and Strauss have been running laps every time I see them out on the track. Must have had some surgery during the break. Today I saw the boys running the tan, I stoped and watched them all run by. The lead group included Sculls, Morton, Moloney, Sylvia, Trenners, Jones and last by a LONG way was LJ who was getting pushed along by one of the fitness guys.

    They must have done a few K's because I saw them running up towards Exhibition St on Yarra Blvd, They didn't seen to be breaking any land speed records though.

    Unfortunately I just caught the end of the boys training today and wasn't going to bother posting, but from what I saw in two minutes...

    Jack Watts - had to look hard to be sure it was him, and maybe because he's shaved his head, but he looked to have significantly bulked up. He is definately not like Morton, rather it looks like he will fill out really well. both his upper and lower body looked heavier, and I reckon by the end of this pre-season (barring injury) he will be close to his ideal playing weight. After that just a matter of definition and strengthening.

    Jake Spencer - Watched Jake having a few shots on goal from fifty (think he's getting confident after his feats in China). It is clear that he has been working hard on his kicking technique. Where normally he looks like he's playing hacky sack when kicking the footy, he was guiding the ball quite nicely from hand to foot and was kicking a good distance. As mentioned last week, he is looking super strong and next year he and Jamar should be a physically intimidating duo in the centre square for the Dees. Positive signs.

    Jordie McKenzie - Looks physically bigger as well, good muscle definition.

    Other Notes - the boys who were training were again the younger cohort rather than the full team training. Spotted LJ and Sculls, also clearly identified Tom Macnamara running around and looking very fit. I guess the dees are planning to re-rookie or maybe now that Bruce has left, will consider re-drafting...either way he's still training with the club.

    Sorry, hopefully someone else can help out with more info.

    Cheers

    Thanks :)

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
