The first to four year players usually start around 10-12 November for teams that miss finals.

The balance commence 2 weeks later.

I firmly believe that our 23/24 pre season ruined our season proper this year. So many blokes in rehab in January and February.

 

  • Grapeviney changed the title to Pre-season 2025
  • 3 months later...

I thought I would put my practice match squad in this section but then I thought why not put it in my own thread so I did.

At this stage: the first training session back at Gosch’s for 2025 is scheduled for Wednesday the 15th of January at 10am.

As always, this is subject to change.

… and we all thank you sincerely for that 😘


IF the first training session for 2025 is on the 9th Jan at Slithera City, I'm a good chance of attending!

Interesting commentary in that clip.

The club has been very vocal advising that the reported culture problems are massively overblown. Reading that a 'young teammate declares he is determined to play a key role in changing the culture of the club' instantly made me click it to hear what was said.

Windsor doesn't actually say that at all in the clip.

When are the boys back from Sorrento?

when the pub shuts

I was told by another supporter that the gates at casey will be closed to the public.   Nothing official but wondering if true or false.   2 of us were thinking of going, but not if it is closed.

I realise Caleb is still a bit green but can we shut up about culture already?!?  

Apparently this is our goal now...

Well you’re right he doesn’t explicitly say he personally wants to help change the culture but he does explicitly on several occasions talk about it being improved etc 

Either way I’m fine with that and I’m pleased to see some of our best players getting along just fine (it appears at least) and looking much fitter

It is a big year for most of them after a few years of disappointing performances 

I'm still feeling good about my Trac Brownlow and the MFC making the top 8 double at $61. Trac is too good a player not to win this subject to him staying fit - the big problem - others taking votes from him if they are playing well - I’m ok with loosing that bet in that scenario 

 


Lots of players are still training over the Xmas break. I run or cycle most days and usually stop at Whitten Oval to do some stretches and I've twice seen Harmesy there with some other Dogs players doing short sprints and timed laps. Yesterday it was Tim English and Rhylee West doing the same. It's a lovely ground these days by the way and the playing surface is immaculate.

Just saw on the website that they are in fact closed

As a rule the gates are always closed. An exception to this is Monday the 20th of January which is a scheduled open training session at Casey. It’s one event on the school holidays program, another being two days later at Gosch’s…

With Roy George training with them, it makes perfect sense

No doubt true, but it never has stopped me! Damn annoying, but I'll just get Scotty to beam me in💥👍

Not sure if they will be there this week, but only a few selected senior players were attending Goodwins wedding in Bali over the weekend i believe.

I got told last year Goody became increasingly agitated about people watching on at Casey. He was told to cool off.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
