Without making too much of a fuss I am a little insulted that they announce the end of the year for fans and suggest further trainings are closed only to have an AFL.com.au writer do a report. Rude.

    Would the club have to approve the AFL reporter?

    It's a public place, so the notion of any closed training for Melbourne is a bit of a silly one. But I believe there's an understanding between clubs to respect sessions that are deemed closed. I guess that doesn't extend to the AFL's PR arm.

    nor does it really apply to the fans I would think

    Bit slack, Saty!  Surely you could have snuck away for an hour or so without anyone missing you!  We, in these nether regions of the Colony, hang out for your scintillating reports.  Serious withdrawal symptoms are coming on!  (Think I'll have to have another whisky!)  LOL

    Thought I might drop in on Wednesday.  Can anyone confirm the start time?  I have a feeling it is a 9.30 start.

    And just for the record, did Heritier take part in training today?

    I would assume he was at training, given that he's still on the payroll and isn't injured (at least physically).

    Assumption, the mother of all screw ups.

    Fartlek training???

    Think sharp variations from outright 100% sprinting for 100-200 metres to  "recovery jogging' then back up to speed then back into recovery over and over and over. The unfortunate "fart" element has less to do with digestive issues than the northern european language of the dudes who devised the method.

    And, here I was thinking we'd devised a cunning new method of sprinting away from the opposition -- something akin to engaging an "after-burner"!  LOL  (Then, again, I'm just a silly old fart, so what would I know??)

    Scandinavian athletes have been doing fartlek training for the better part of 100 years and it works for increasing both speed and endurance.

    Did it in the military as well WJ, reason why I can still scoot with the best of them in my 'later years':rolleyes:

    It all depends on what I have imbibed the evening before Vagg, hence why fartlek could be an appropriate term

    And none on Xmas day. Seriously these are highly paid athletes. How do they get Xmas day off? They must be soft.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
