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.

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.

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.

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…

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

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
