Just on players who are not at training, what's the situation with Joel Smith? Is he still "provisionally suspended"? And what does that even mean? 

Still probably waiting for a call from goody.

Is it just me or is Tracc looking a little flabby? Maybe he overindulged while overseas. 

Yeah it is just you. 

Joel Smith is awaiting instruction from the AFL for his hearing. 

He is in contact with Gary Pert, Alan Richardson and Reece Conca. He has also spoken to Goody.

When training officially starts he is not allowed to commence training at the footy club on official duties. 

Has to train away from the club full stop.

Training this Monday, is it at Goshes or snakey Casey?

I'm just reading on the AFL website that Collingwood will start their preseason at Gosches due to resurfacing works:

What have you got against Bairnsdale? 😀

Absolutely nothing! It was the first place that popped into my head that was an adequate distance from Melbourne. How about the sewage treatment plant at Werribee? A bit too close but it seems to fit the bill?

Training wouldn't be of a high standard out there.  Players would just be going through the motions.

When did sides 9 to 18 start their preseason?  Its been almost 3 months since R24.

If MFC start next Monday then within a few weeks they'll be packing up for another long Christmas/ NY break.

When they finally get around to training, how many days a week are they out on the track?  2 or 3?

I hope they find the time to get some goal kicking practice . We couldnt hit the side of a ship in 2023.

Why can’t they train at Victoria Park, it hosts AFLW games.

Collingwood will train away from Olympic Park across the first block of the pre-season due to resurfacing works, with the group set to start on Gosch's Paddock before spending most of the next month training at Victoria Park.

Wayne - if you could refrain from interrupting my tantrum, that would be appreciated. Any entry onto Gosch's cannot be considered anything other than an official turf war, however brief. We are, after all, talking about the Filth.

Thank you, I rest my case

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
