sorry S6S, your right there are many white caps,  so I see the one i'm talking about is COliver... now can you tell me the taller one, skinny kid, please?

 

oliver looks as I would expect in close shot,  but smaller than expected other side of pack, when with the ball... I hope that makes him slippery around packs. ;)

    Thanks for displaying the player's names 666! It certainly makes the picture tell a more complete story as I couldn't otherwise pick King or Hulett.

    No, just bad puns, Moonie. But you can credit me with more wisdom than that if you like.

    Can anyone explain why boxing appears to be an integral part of football training? Is it (a) reflexes, (b) coping with fear, (c) bicep development, (d) coping with pain (when hit), (e) all of the above, (f) something else altogether? Frankly, I can't see what it offers...but obviously it must have some value.

    Boxing is a fantastic form of anaerobic fitness that involves very little loading of the joints. It gets the heart rate right up. It's also very good for upper body strength.

    Great pics thanx 666

    While there are still some skinny scrawny types the muscle development seems years ahead of usual 

    and you seem to have captured them as they are really applying themselves. Good muscle definition and the expressions seem more intense as well.

     

    Are you getting the feeling that there is a greater intensity in their work than last year?

    I'm probably not the best judge of how there going in the preseason. They look better to me each year with the exception of one M Neeld's 2nd year. I did have a brief chat to Brendan McCartney and he reckons they're going to be all right. Said there is a real trust developing between the group which was totally lacking when he arrived.

    A small gallery to finish off this exercise.

    I'm off on a short beak now to recharge the batteries for the coming year. Hope you've all enjoyed this little indulgence of mine.

    Enjoy the New Year festivities and keep safe.

    The boys are back on Monday and the footy is just around the corner

    See you in the New Year.

    Go Dees,

    thanks again 666 for comments and pics

     

    If you keep up the visuals we can get some commentary from the other training watchers.

    I have to say, I am so impressed with the attitude Oliver has shown this year.  The amount of weight he lost before being drafted, the way he attacked the draft combine, living away from his family to make it easier to play footy.  I'm sure it's these things as much as his form late in the season that lifted him right up the order.  So often we've had talented kids who didn't want to work hard.  Here we seem to have a kid who started doing the hard work on his own and is loving being given more now that he's at a club.  I really hope he continues in this vein.

    I really appreciate the time you have taken to name those players.  Many of us take time to get used to regognising new players, even some of the second years.  Well done.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
