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.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
