Pre-season Training


hells bells

Recommended Posts

Went past Gosch's this morning. Billy Stretch, Bugg, Mitch White all doing some hard running under eye of Misso and Viney.

Crossy there too with another guy I have seen him running with a bit recently. Not a listed player. Very solid, blond hair. Wonder if it is a rookie prospect they are putting some time in to.

The blonde guy could be Maynard, when I spoke to him at training looked pretty solid

Training starts Nov 15 I think

Maybe it's just me, but do you really see this bloke going blonde?

 

Probably not, but with a mullet he would look a bit similar to Roos in his Lions days.

Hope he can play. Another basketballer Joel Smith, could be a real find.

All jokes aside, there are pictures and reports all over the net with the players  hard at work already, think Roos last message sank in

Not necessarily, Saty, it might be just that the expectations of being an AFL footballer are sinking in.

Which was the message Roos left them with, also helped by the fact competition for spots will be fierce

I don't think it's something that is exclusive to MFC players.  I'm sure most players from opposition teams work hard in their "time off", it's just something that we're not used to seeing with many of our players.

Roos' message was just as much about reinforcing what it takes, as much as it was believing/reassuring that we have the players required, to take us to a premiership contender.

Would love to know what training Killer Watts is doing in LA.

 

Petracca is still on the Bintangs over in Bali with only a couple of weeks until PS training starts.

Should've got his beer drinking over with weeks ago.

What's the bet he comes back out of shape and behind the standard expected?

$1

As one who has consumed the odd Bintang I can tell you it is hard to drink faster than you can sweat in Bali. I reckon my arms had a nice foamy head at times. So no problems for Petracca, he'll come back mean and lean and ready to go.

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Megg

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.
