It all starts on Monday for a limited number of players when the first wave of players will return at 9.30am at Gosch’s Paddock.

TRAINING TIMES

I'm sure most of you are looking forward to reading and discussing reports from training but please note the following:-

Posters are asked to be polite on training threads. Personal abuse of players or other posters will not be tolerated.

 

Be interesting to see what kind of condition Petracca comes back in.

Someone in another thread said he was still on the BinTangs in Bali very recently.

I think that comment was a BinTang in cheek..

I am eager to hear/read how Milkshake & Hibbo (60's crime show!?) will go coming to a new club with different training practises after a year of sub-standard training.

WJ, thanks for the info, and the last sentence, will be there with camera, will try and be a bit more 'technical' with the  report.

There's one thing worse than pre-season cliches and that's people making jokes about pre-season cliches.

No cliches should emerge this pre-season, as long as everything that goes on is kept within the four walls of the club

Love the pictures. Love the build up. Love the smell of the ground and the skills.

I said I was going to be more 'technical' in my report, may have to change that now, will try and get a few pics of the 'new' guys, interesting to see whether Hibberd and Melksham turn up day one, usually it is just the 1st and 2nd years and also McKenna (theoretically 3rd year)

And who of the senior players start as well, Jones, Gawn and a few others were there from day 1 last year

I have one wish.                    

Can we have pre-season training reports without the sniping.           

If you can't get there to post your own report, don't criticise those that do.                                        

If you don't like the report ignore it and move on.

We have lots to look forward to so let's be positive.   

This should not be wishful thinking.

And may pre season be injury free please!

Can we pin this post?

Can't wait to see Goody 100 % in charge and putting his stamp on the list.  Looking forward the upside in a few that I think will  come from this alone

Could not agree more.

For those of us who live interstate, training reports are gold. I feel indebted to anyone who turns up to a training session and bothers to report back on what they observed.

I share your wish Ernest.  It runs a close second to my #1 wish for this pre-season, which is for Clarry and Trac to convincingly beat T.Mac in the 3km time trial.

A leading question 'Bob'?

When's the intra club game?

I think the accepted question to ask in November is "when's the time trial". Questioning the timing of the intra-club should wait for December.

At this stage of the game they're all elite kicks Song...just as we are elite posters.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

  • PREGAME: Collingwood

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
