Saty's bacccckkkkkk

He was delisted but re-rookied as "the devil inside"

Its the Melbourne way you know !!

Now if thats not the pot calling the kettle black than I dont know what is!!

I think he would referring to the fact that he might have Chip as an opponent in a final now.

They have contracts for next year, so it's faux shock.

anddddd another one goes straight over your head

Can you not detect humour? Serious question. You seem to really struggle with it

Melbourne players back in training early ... AFLPA not pleased. @superfooty soon

gfy@aflpa !!! What a bunch of fwits this association is. Talk about getting their priorities arze about !!

I was at Edwins cafe outside aami this morning. Jetta, Hogan, Viney and one other i didn't recognise were having a coffee. On face value i really thought hogan would have been a bit of an introvert, but to my surprise he seemed to be the loudest person in the entire place (Censored he's a big boy!)

I had parked across the road from the Tan and was getting out of my car at the same time as Frawley. (Gave him the cold shoulder, I'm sure he was offended!)

Looking like he's dropped a bit of size but looks extremely fit à la Brian Lake

He finally got delisted hey?

As usual, he will be relatively quiet about this time (though he did miss out on some prime pontificating opportunities over the last little bit) but when round 1 rolls around again, we will all know without a shadow of a doubt how morally lacking we truly are.

Saw them on the park this morning. Checked with a friend at the club who told me it was voluntary on the players part with first session starting next week for the younger players. Older blokes and rehab will start later. Forget AFLPA as this was voluntary and I applaud the players keen enough to start ball work so soon.

This thread seems ripe for a bunch of memes letting the AFLPA know just how much we care about their ridiculous rules.

Only when it's humorous.

They are already onto us!

Our guys have been off since round 22, that is about 7 weeks leave. They will get another 2 over Christmas, how much do they need? I thought 6 weeks total was the Aflpa deal.

I think its 8 weeks nowadays....( happy to be corrected )

Fine us for trying, pricks.

It's a pity they aren't so interested in players welfare when it comes to injections.

We should have had the players sign waivers with a non disclosure clause. That seems to do the trick with the AFLPA ...

This is the right kind of trouble to be hearing about at this time of year. Love it.

Dangerous words. Remember, we got fined for not tanking!

think most of them were off since about round 13

Nope pretty sure it's a continual 8 week block after the season followed by a 2 week block over Christmas. It's in the AFL CBA which you can google if you want to confirm.

The things for younger guys, especially if they are living or back in Melbourne at this time of year (down for the races if nothing else) then you'd want to be fit for the start of preseason I could imagine. And it's much easier training with friends anyway so I'm sure a lot of them would be out running with each other anyway.

Why completely ban them access to clubs (as happens in other sports)? I know I'd actually prefer to get some earlier direct fitness oversight from the staff as well as being in the right environment for it.

Just drove down Punt rd and saw the boys on the track already!

Good to see the boys out and about already!

I saw them from the bike track, but thought it was too early, and it couldn't possibly be them. Should have stopped and looked!

Good News.

Why wait around for preseason to start and have the young blokes(most of the club) down on afl standard for the runs.

Thank god they are doing it of their own free will.

Anyhow the aflpa is one of those unions that does not give a flying [censored] about the rookies and battlers.

It is set up so the top players can screw the comp.

And posted a 300 word review!

LOL.

This line killed me:

"Under AFLPA guidelines, players have a rigid leave period to ensure they get appropriate rest after the season finishes."

Appropriate rest periods? Our boys have all been [censored] resting since round 11!
