Monday's open training session is advertised to start at 11.00am.

Players can't take their places in the best 22 for granted. There's going to be strong competition among them for a number of spots so the intensity of pre season training will increase.

I'm looking forward to reports from those who are lucky enough to have the time to make it there.

Went to training today and agree with previous reports.  ANB and JKH running fast laps.  Heard Watta say "if only I could run like that" as they powered around.  ANB doesn't look to be injured to me a

Media typo. Dislocate the patella, not its tendon. A patella dislocation tears the tissue on the inside part of the knee as a result of the kneecap moving laterally (to the outside). There's also the

Very good session today, I thought.  Fast ball movement, run and spread seemed to be the emphasis.  The work was mostly crisp and clean, with very good intensity and pressure around the ball.  As soon

Thanks Jack.  Pleased to read on the MFC website that it's at Gosch's (albeit an 11am start) and not at Casey.  This means that I can still fit in training tomorrow, and the necessary 'family things', before heading home to Canberra ... such is my love for the Melbourne Football Club, and in particular, my excitement about its near and longer-term future.  Go Dees! 

Oh dear, I think I've had too much wine!

Hibberd also stretching out on the boundary now. Main group split into smaller groups for in close handball and tackling routines. Lots of body contact in this one. One small group still doing short kicks under pressure from a defender

Full ground spread now, very quick movement and the occasional blooper as they are constantly under pressure. Overall, the standard is impressive. Will leave you on this note... we'll talk!

Lewis looking good, in the full ground activity there wasn't much movement upfield and he waited before pinpointing a 40m pass to the middle. 

Harmes also looking sharp.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
