Open training 'new time'

The club website says today's open training session is at the "new time" of 3pm.

Hmmmmmm. Interesting. We play in the afternoon: we train in the afternoon.

Might this be a tweak of Neil Craig's or an adjustment to winter's depths?

Can serious training watchers reveal if there have been other 3pm start ups under the previous regime?

    Hmmn, this could be good, maybe they are trying to re-engage the supporters, & looking to see if the supporters will come to training to engage with the players, & with the club again.

    I've asked the club about this many times and even suggested it here and always been shot down about it. I've noticed lately others have been asking about it on the weekly teams chat also. Makes sense to me. Train at the same time of day you play. Seems simple.

    Yup

    and maybe we will even do some footy related stuff in the preseason instead of constant long distance running

    Neeld bragged about his 'elite training principles', while the rest of the comp laughed at how badly we train.

    • 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.
