I have about a 4 day window between unemployment and overseas travel early next year. Might try to get down to training and get my last hit of footy for a while. If I do, I'll be sure to take creepy iPhone photos and write a really bad report where I get every player confused. I'm sure you all look forward to that!

I think the last time I attended training I was in high school... and we were playing finals.... so about 10 years ago. Depressing thought.

Petracca's knees look in good shape!

By all accounts he worked hard at his rehab ... deserves the reward and play the whole season!

I hope you know your EPL as well Jaded. Sadly, Nev Jetta's (?) wife won't be overly impressed if you ask him if you are allowed to take photos of him flexing.

I'm pretty sure that even less people want to see me in Lycra riding a scooter with a beard than they do Stye

If you have Instagram follow Rob Jackson fitness.

He is the fitness guy at Melbourne and I have seen a number of photos of the guys already into training. Yesterday it was Dunn, Dawes, Viney and Petracca doing some kind of circuit work.

Don't talk to the players and get any interesting goss cos you'll be accused of being an apologist. Don't give any opinions cos you'll be accused of knowing nothing about footy. And don't favour anyone or you'll be accused of having favourites. And don't tell us that we've improved because you'll be told "it's only training".

Really looking forward to your reports!

That should produce a five word report.

As long as we train the house down and have really good training standards then that is all that matters!

That should no longer be a problem for Saty, as most of his favourites have been delisted.

There may be players doing a bit of early work, however, Mahoney said the younger players will be officially back on Monday November 9.

Jetta and Salem were his two main pin ups weren't they? They're still kicking around.

I hope he's enjoying his new job and doesn't have to tolerate too many lemon sucking hair shirt wearers.

Still too egotistical. Need to drop the first word.

I think you will find that the first word was in fact a number. As in, One went to training today. Much better.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
