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 the actual [censored]? Please don't tell me we're stepping aside to accommodate those [censored]. I don't give a toss that we have Casey to train at. They can [censored] off somewhere else.... preferably 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

      The Demons hit the road for their last practice hit out before the start of the 2026 AFL Premiership season when they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
