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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
