Good point. But lets not forget that for two years insiders at Melbourne have told us half the list is training the house down ;)

Have they?

Are you talking real insiders, or those who enjoy pretending to be..?

Not looking at you Saty...

If DA, McQueen, DD and myself are snipers waiting in the shadows - we were playing cards when TDI came out and shot himself in the foot...

Training threads have a shelf life of two/three days - until the next one arrives - it is the only new threads we are all in during the offseason, unless Essendope and a Masturbatory Dom Tyson thread floats peoples boats.

Training thread starts, information gleaned, overreactions made, comment jumped on, thread derailed.

Rinse, repeat.

i can see the problem here. Everyone get onto the No T$ No B$ thread. Everyone gets on well over there.

It is always the same group who do the sniping, I find you rather sad actually, I provide the training reports for anybody that is interested, if that doesn't include you that's ok, you can spend the time bathing in your own magnificence instead

And that house keeps falling on them which explains the preseason injuries they always get.

I asked on two separate days, and one of the answers was not sure and told me to check with someone else, gee..... try not think too hard, you may hurt something, as I have stated prefer to get the 'real' reason for the absences, stops the rumours, overheard one 'supporter' who noticed he was missing that he must be on 'walkabout' classy

OMG - it is preseason. Individualized training programs: just maybe he had a RDO?? Or a cold??

Not sure that this is right. By definition, MFC supporters have to be optimists or we would just not bother. Having said that,in Neeld's last pre-season, I had the horrible feeling that there was not only no light at the end of the tunnel, we couldn't even find where the tunnel began. Last pre-season, even with the arrival of Roos, there were still a lot of unknowns plus a number of injuries. I can't recall too many posters being anything other than guarded in their reports and predictions. However, in light of what I've seen since the beginning of last season, the success of the 2014 recruits, the pragmatism in the delistings and the quality of the 2015 recruits, the a intensity of the training, I am at least optimistic - perhaps even of finals footy. My wife and I are thinking of going overseas for a year or two and I am even thinking about coming back to Melbourne for the finals over the next couple of years. How bizarre is that? Maybe a premiership before I die.

Anyway, I can't help but be optimistic for the coming season and can't wait to see Hogan belt his first defender...can I say that?

There are some miserable sods on this forum.

What would life be without some hope and expectation?

I personally love Satys training reports and his positivity.

Leave him alone to keep doing what he does.

Give it a rest. Don't read the training threads if you don't want to hear what he has to say. Better still block him. We don't care. We are interested in what he has to say.

Oh FFS, get your hand off of it.

The players can take the [censored] but we can't?

We will be here a lot longer than the players you talk to.

The most important posts that occur during the off season are absolutely the training reports, particularly Saty's.

For those of you who don't agree, go muck around on some other app and stop criticising those who take their time to update us on what's going on during these sessions.

Anyone going today? It's been 2 days and I'm having withdrawals!

I was walking past the G on the way to training on Wednesday and saw one of the assistant coaches (the one with the big thighs) walking through yarra park with JKH. Both were in casuals and both had a coffee. They headed into the G. Hopefully all is well with him!!!

I think that statement say it all, perhaps a rename to rpfcland

No it is a public forum, with all the pitfalls that entails

Reasons why JKH was not at training:

1. Had to watch his cousin Ryan play against the Indians

2. Had to stay home to watch the space shuttle launch at the Kennedy centre

3. Is no longer training out of protest until his cousin Neil Patrick can legally get married in Australia

4. Quit the MFC when Roosy named Josh as the best Kennedy

5. Decided if Jack Watts gets 22 games despite never putting in that he may as well take a few weeks off pre Christmas

6. Is using demonland and the club to troll us all

7. Has a low grade infectious illness that could spread through the players and has been told to stay away from the club

8. Has a personal issue

9. Has quit footy to rediscover his cultural heritage by playing cricket with his private school mates in Kew

10. His biceps are now so large he's unable to run from the sheer weight of them

11. He's at Satyr's old workplace asking three different people why Satyr no longer works there.

Square-up: I really like Satyr's contribution to this forum. He's passionate and consistent. I might not agree with all his views but I don't see why he should be criticised for both having them and expressing them.

but who else would think of "bathing in your own magnificence"? (post 81)

and the "instead" - instead of what - bathing in whose magnificence, did you mean, TDI?

well, I appreciate his reports - he's certainly found a valued role here - but I do think he asks for it too.

Could you please run through what went wrong here?

I think you will find nothing went wrong, people overreacted, the thread derailed and here we are.

Onto the next training thread!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
