Saty's bacccckkkkkk

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

Its the Melbourne way you know !! :unsure::rolleyes:

 

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.

Can you not detect humour?

Only when it's humorous.


lol @ the AFLPA

Bunch of amateurs down there

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.

  • 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.
