    Maybe if they pick him it would help convince Kozzie that the MFC is the place to be for his future.

    How is that first name pronounced? Like Peter Pius Paul (otherwise known as Crackers) "Keenan"? Or something that rhymes with "my man"?

    I’d bring him in for that alone.

    Way too early reaction:
    Adams - big forearms, he’ll end up a solid lad
    Sestan - 5 days and 1 training session in and he’s already looking leaner and more like an afl player
    Jefferson - not quite big buckets but he gets a lot of purchase with his fingers around that footy, good size mits
    Verrall - decent shoulders, probably the most developed of the young talls

    A wintery morning, coldish and windy. Great morning for the time trials, headwinds on one side and a tail on the punt rd side.

    Clarry smashed it. Goody was over the moon, they embraced several times. He is set for a ripper. Looking thin, nearly wirey. He is also showing some leadership qualities.

    Others out front were Adam Tomlinson, he was in a different group to Clayton but gee, beat Tmac by at least 25 metres. ANB caught the front group.

    Some bad news, Hibbo was having difficulty with his Achilles, left training.

    Petracca was the only one missing.

    So many new players out there. Here are some new numbers, 6 Grundy, 12 Hunter, 19 Schache, 26 Jed Adams, 28 Verral, 33, 38, 39, 43 (Burgoyne?), 45, 46 Sestan, 47 Jefferson and 47 Farris-white. Plenty of train ons.

    Clarry has the hair bun. Langdon has crewed. Salem white.

    After the time trials, they got into their boots, and it began.

    Competitive right from the start. Into two stations, two players competing for position as the ball is thrown in the air, the other was soft tackling as the front player picks up a ground ball. Moved into three stations, short kicks, and the other two I can't remember. They transitioned to handball games with 6 on two in bibs. They then went to two stations, a sim with minimal tackling, (Hunter caught my eye with great outside run and kicks to advantage, Kossie and Sparrow as well). The other was a hard tackling handball game in restricted space. The tackler was not brought to the ground, but was expected to break and get the handball (plenty of noise as they prove to each other their shimmy and ability to stand up).

    They went to their lines. Looks like TMac is with the back-line, as is Woewodin, and Salem stay there as well. Tomlinson doing some work with the rucks and the back-line.

    Forwards bringing the ball to ground and snapping.

    Some mids and forwards kicking down an alley, with a camera under the supervision of Williams for goal.

    They then got their runners on again and hit up 10, 150 metre, in under 20 sec sprints.

    Deakin Smith, and Moniz-wakefield, Verral, and Adams on a modified program.

    Grundy and BBB working together in their individual program.

    They have moved a gym under the shed where Joel Smith and Angus Brayshaw did light duties and were joined with some of the new players.

    There may have been some drills I missed, it was a long session and with so many players out, there it was hard to follow. 

    Addit, had a good look at Farris-white kicking when on the run and it was ok, hit lots of his targets. @Tim

    Trent Burgoyne:

    2019 (draft year): no games due to hammy issues, rookied 

    2020: covid year, port didn’t play in the sanfl 

    2021: 5 games, averaged 6.8 disposals. Delisted 


    2022: played 10 matches, averaged 10.6 disposals, 2.8 tackles and kicked 2 goals 

    He’d be a pretty bold selection based on that. Started to go in the right direction this last season but before that had 3 years of nothing

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
