So what indoor training facilities do we have? Is it just weights, or is there an open area for footy drills? 

Indoor pool as well.

    There is an open end of the weights area, where they could practice skills

    They have treadmills, if somebody needs running

    Could be the day for educating and exercising the mind

    That could be difficult for some Saty.

    Quickly read it and fired a shot, so what, i never waited for anyone else to throw the first punch.

    As Jack Dyer said, "you retaliate first".

    It makes me wonder about the human race when you see things like this Saty. Are they so addict to exercise that they cannot understand the danger today?

    I have managed to beat my addiction to exercise.

    We have smoky conditions today, however, the health consequences of changing weather patterns and natural disasters are long-term.

    We face a new paradigm that will force all of us to think and behave differently. 

    Similar to terrorism and 9/11, our behaviour and actions will need to change. 

    Some people and organisations get it (perhaps the AFL), others don't (TA).. 

    Good decision by MFC.

    That's what the AFL have been saying behind closed doors for years

    Well if we have a similar year to last year then they might aswell

    They might be in the shelter sheds having 5 or 6 darts to replicate outdoor training conditions...  Max the captain for this exercise....

    I will be very surprised if there is outdoor training today. 

    OD, what about holding the breath, underwater.?   would that work.?

    I live in North East Victoria and have been breathing nothing but smoke for the last 3 weeks, you get used to it.

    Although at one point I couldn't see the end of 50m long pig shed so I guess you wouldn't see a footy coming.

    Pity really. I was hoping to see one of those smokeys from Casey turning up.

    Probably like playing at Victoria park in the 70s

    This was Melbourne this morning on the Plume Ap which measures air purity around the world.

    Usually, it registers well below 50 and on a really fresh day, under 20. 

    The city that routinely registers the worst numbers is New Delhi - it’s measurements from this morning are in the next panel below.

    Most derailed thread. Ever.

    Just to get back on topic, it seems training was not "postponed" at all. Rather it was moved indoors. And away from Saty's prying camera, they were prepared to do some competitive work with "shirts on" versus "shirts off". 

    I'm tipping if the club announces a Gosch's paddock training day with half the team with their shirts off, there'll be a larger crowd of spectators in attendance than normal.

    FMD...

    This thread needs serious trimming.

    Round 1 cannot come quick enough.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
