The Age's Ronny Lerner reports that "the Christmas turkey has been digested and the New Year's sparklers have been tucked away for another year. It's time for the AFL's 18 teams to return to work."

It's uncertain whether turkey forms part of the paleo diet but it will sure be interesting to see how the boys look upon their return to training for 2015 tomorrow morning at Gosch's Paddock.

Hopefully, our regular crew of track watchers will be on hand to let us know.

AFL teams return to preseason training with injuries under control

MELBOURNE

Given the Dees' player development has been pushed back to the Stone Age in the last decade, it's perhaps fitting they have adopted a form of paleo diet this pre-season to increase their energy levels. But the light is certainly visible at the end of their long and dark tunnel and new recruits Heritier Lumumba, Jeff Garlett, Sam Frost and Ben Newton have made positive starts to their careers at Melbourne. Jack Watts (groin) and Jack Trengove (foot) have been the only major injury concerns. The Demons resume training on Monday.

Here's hoping that Jack Trengove's tricycle is working magically and that his rehab is ahead of schedule.

Ventured down today with two boys in tow (got there late, around 10.00 am). From what I could see, the session was quite demanding. Running sprint drills followed by full field running drills incorpor

Saw first two hours... you could say Roos was flogging them! Have to agree that Newton was a standout when talking new boys. His ability to keep running was impressive, delivery looked very good. It w

Should be a good morning for training.

Partly cloudy and temperatures at about 17 - 20 in the morning.

I think I'll be there. I have Man Flu at the moment and don't want to spread the germ around.

I may stand over on the Punt Road side no one goes there.

Better still, why not mosey across to Collingwood's training and give them a dose? :lol:

Can anyone confirm it will be at Goschs? Weren't they off to Casey to avoid the Asian cup drama?

The MFC site is silent on this *.

Upcoming open training sessions:

Friday 19th December - Gosch's Paddock - 9.15am

Saturday 17th January - Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex - 9.00am

All other training sessions are closed sessions.

* also somebody should tell them to change the links banner. It's now 2015 so it should be "News 2015"

NOTE: CONFIRMED GOSCH'S PADDOCK 9.15AM

Confirmed Gosch's Paddock 9.15am

I see under the Gold Coast entry that O'Meara is in doubt for round 1 and Ablett's resumption of contact work looks delayed.

Doesn't hurt our chances.

Looking forward to the training reports, set to kick off with a time trial.

Let's not go there. Memories of our performance against an undermanned Saints in round 1 last year are still clearly etched In my mind.

And how about this Friday? I'll be passing thru town and it'd be great to see the team train.

How is it possible to have a closed session at Gosch's? Or are the other sessions during the week elsewhere?

From the public it's not. Hence why they've had a couple of sessions else where at stages when they were doing obvious tactical drills. But they can designate them as closed sessions and that bans media and other clubs from attending.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
