With Petty’s return questionable and Smith under a suspension cloud, I’m expecting BBB to be in the mix come round 1.

edit - “opening round”. sorry!

Many have written BBB off from making a meaningful contribution to our season next year.  I must admit I've also lowered my expectations somewhat. 

Clearly the man himself still has the desire and some belief that he can get his body right and get out on the paddock again.  If we can get even a few good games out of him while Petty retuns, that would be a great bonus. 

It's probably an ideal scenario in some ways for it to be clear to the likes of JvR to have a mentor still around the place, but one he knows shouldn't get in his way and be keeping him out of the side when he's fully ready to be one of the main men.

Surely thats not right; nine days till pre season starts Nov26?.

Thats over 9 weeks break or 3 months for non finalists.Presumably non finalists started very early in Nov.

In a few weeks they'll all be packing up for another long xmas/new year break. .

Even training days are limited and over by late morning.  Good job if you can get it !

No wonder we can't kick straight.

You paint a very pretty picture of an AFL player’s life. Good job if you can get it? That’s how it appears but there’s things of which you’re not aware. The Club owns the players’ souls. Even when they’re overseas they have to check with the Club before taking prescription medication if they’re ill or hurt. When they’re rehabbing they can’t touch alcohol, 24/7 for as long as they’re in rehab  The list goes on but I just realised to whom I’m talking so I’ll leave it there.

Once pre-season training starts, players really don’t get much of a rest for 9 months (10 if you go deep in finals).
 

Even when they’re not training, they are in the gym, or in debriefing with coaches, or studying outside of footy. Also factor in the never-ending recovery/rehab schedules. Then throw in that they are on pretty strict diets for virtually the entire in-season, it’s unrelenting.

Great, that gives the new kids a week to pack up and settle in to their new digs before preseason kicks off, pretty short notice when you think about it. Plus interviews meeting the coaches, players and staff members, their heads will be spinning. Lol.!!!

I believe these timelines for return to pre-season training is part of players CBA. As posters have said, the club still has expectations on your training, diet and what you do with recreation time when you are in the off-season, pre-season and during the season. Plenty of articles in the past with the likes of Petracca, Gawn, Rivers training early or doing extra stuff in off-season, I think every player would do extra to some extent. Anyway, it's good to at least see BBB up and about and his knees not bandaged.

Well i wouldn't be standing next to him if he had his name tag on.


Can anyone tell me when preseason training starts? I can't wait for it to begin, so that we can move out of this horrible couple of months that we have had.

27th november I think.


Showing some serious leadership and maturity. A contender for the captaincy alongside Jake Lever when Maxy decides to relinquish it.

He is. 

Using the yellow footy to cover his belongings for a photo shoot it seems....

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
