They must be like a pack of restless dogs about to be walked, preseason is a looong boring gig when you just wanna play the game.

    Oliver's Fitness Test:

     

    This is a disaster. Viney AND potentially Oliver out. FAAARRRRRKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

  • Quote

    Latest from my Brother who went down to mainly see Oliver:

    Oliver originally did kicking work with Jones, Tim Smith and a coach, but was spared a high intensity tackling drill done by the rest of the group.

    He later joined match simulation and looked good in his eyes.  Running and kicking without any perceived issues.

    Just now Oliver has been doing stoppage work with Gawn, Maynard, Salem, Brayshaw, Lewis, Harmes, and Petracca (wearing different colour bibs).

    Lots of supporters in attendance.  High intensity session with 28 trying to fit into 22.  Thinks Spargo is a very hard tackler.  And liked the look of Weideman, who he hasn't always been bullish on, but now is.  Says Weideman moving very well and just looks a natural footballer.  Said Balic looked good.

    Thinks that any player who has recently had a niggle looks good.  Only players missing are Tom McDonald and Viney.

    He's an amateur observer, so Ben Guthrie may be right, but he thought Oliver moved well and didn't notice any issues, although, as said, he was spared a very high intensity tackling session.

    Would you be joining in match simulation if your fitness was in doubt ?

    Thats a big statement

    That the son of a VFL/AFL player and Grandson of a VFL/AFL champion player looks a natural footballer when said player is currently on an AFL list is a "big statement" ?

    Looking like a "natural footballer" is a "big statement" ?

    OK.

    If this is the brother that played a game at the Hawks, I would back his judgment over Ben Guthrie!

    Can anyone pass the status of Tommy Bugg and Dom Tysons hair?
    As the 2 best mops in the team I want to be sure that when I flick on Fox footy on Sunday that I will be graced with their 10/10 hairstyles.

    You could've guessed this timeframe from Misson's injury report.

    10 days to de-load and then they have to re-load which you imagine is another 10-15 days. That's 3 weeks right there. Then another 3 weeks to get to match fitness levels.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
