Who will be the first to post pictures of the  new draftees?

Won't be me, working on Monday, saving till Wednesday when Bennell and Brown will also be there


Just a note on training

They have a grappling/wrestling/tackling coach, he used to appear maybe one session a week if that

He is there every session at the moment, obviously another area of weakness they have identified

 

This bloke is hopefully only a week away from joining in some main group drills, same with Petty,  who is a seriously sized human being now   next photo

Just an interesting fact I learnt yesterday

The AFL now has 1400 yes 1400 accredited 'journalists' on its books

It has long been known within us media types that AFL journalists outnumber all other journalist types in Oz.  It’s an indictment in the media landscape.  Proper investigative journalism is thwarted by big media to allow the powers that be escape accountability.

so 2 journos for every listed player (18 x 44 = 792).......no wonder media is overflowing with carp

They hand out 1400 media passes so they can revoke them if they don't like the coverage.

But the amount of full time journos covering the game is probably declining. Channel 7 and AFL media give it a fair go, but otherwise I'm sure the age and the HS don't cover the game like they used to.

Houses still standing in the background of that last pic. Obviously not training hard enough.

They are Collingwood houses..... ours have already been converted to parkland to train on.

I think there's no coincidence that our strong run at the end of 18 started around the time AVB got going.

I'd like to see Dusty try the "don't argue" on AVB on ANZAC Eve.

Did you notice if Petty was training with the forwards or backs mate?

To cover the play of 720 players, almost  2 " journalists" ( I use that term loosely ) for every player.

Do they pay a fee to be accredited ? Is the only reason I could see for having that many.

He is in rehab at the moment, supposedly out of there in 1 or 2 weeks

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
