    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.

    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.

    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!

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
