    Kev, I’m guessing they’re not having a break after Wednesday’s match, rather they don’t wanna advertise training because they want certain sessions to be ‘closed’ sessions, as in, no fans attending. 🤷‍♀️ 

    Anyways, Seeya there! 👍🏽

    Will be interested to hear track watchers insights on McAdam, given he's seemingly overcome his injury and out of his rehabilitation period.

    Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies. 

    Forwards out first. Petty, JVR, Billings, Chandler, Kossie, Fritsch, and coach Stafford. 

    The backs join them, May, Lever, Woey, McVee, Howes, TMac, Rivers, Turner, and coach Chaplin.

    A trainer and Choco are on the fence talking.

    The mids are now making their way over. Oliver,Tracc, Laurie,  Langdon, Sparrow, Max, Viney, ANB, Windsor.

    Choco talking to the crew after the first drill. "They were excellent because of the way we set it up". Kicks between the mannequins, then one over the mannequins. He also said to Wheelan, "Kossie has shown me at least 10 pics of it, he is so happy".

    Goody is standing in the centre, watching the goings on, as they drill. The noise volume is great. 

    Chaplin has been taking most of the talking and directional instructing. 

    Goody pulls them into a centre circle and chats away. Ends with one structured sim and a week to backline set up after a point.

    The call, OK Boys, then a whistle, and back to the sheds.

    I believe BBB has scheduled training sessions off to manage his ongoing knee issues so potentially there is nothing unusual there.

    Looks likely to be Pickett & Laurie in for Salem & Kolt

    I think Turner is forward. 

    When the backline gathered he wasn't with them.

    Choco is putting plenty of time into him as he kicks for goal at the end of the session.

    Those playing with Casey are now on the Paddock, 16 of them.

    Bowey in the white cap.

    BBB is with them, so is McAdam, Fullarton and Tholstrup. 

    BBB and McAdam of to the side doing their own kick to kick with a trainer.

    He might be one game short of a gallop but I would love to see Turner come in for BBB tomorrow night and play forward. He's aggressive,  quick off the mark, can kick for goal, compete and, best of all, versatile. Just needs a reasonable run with injury.

    Great to hear.  Looks like his performance in the second half with Casey up forward did not go unnoticed

    Laurie in for Clarry?  Strapping and/or glove still on?  Looks fine or is he restricted in any way?

    Is anyone able to confirm if Laurie is training with the mids?

    Clarry looks fine, going about it with plenty of concentration and professionalism. 

    Some strapping, I didn't notice any hinderances.

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • 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.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
