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.

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 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.

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
