Jack Viney out on Gosch's with Chandler, Turner, Sestan, Kentfield and K.Brown. Small runs and kick to kick. Then headed off to AAMI. Probably to the meeting about the Caulfield announcement

You were at Gosch's by chance? Surely you are not on watch already Kev :)

Isn't it just so relaxing  training reports for next year in September,  They will not get a better example than Viney.

Fantastic stuff, pity our draft lads cannot start with him now as well

One of the advantages of not making the top eight (and I don’t advocate we should make this a practice) is that the club will have more time to properly prepare for the season to follow.

Official pre season training still doesn’t start for several weeks.

An advantage Petracca was big on in his Club interview just posted, albeit framed a bit looking-at-the-upside-ly.

Can't be underestimated. Max mentioned in an interview that he feels like he hasn't had a real break for 4 years. No accident either that our flag came after a season where we missed finals.

Yes.  It is not official club training.

They all need to stay in good condition. Yesterday I was at my gym working out next to an incredibly tall kid that looked like a young Sam Darcy.

Then I realised it was Sam, and that I’m old.

Viney, TMac, Rivers, Sestan, Adams, Turner, McVee, Howes, running in groups with a timed program.

Oliver not grouped, running with a trainer.

Thanks Kev - great to hear that there is a mix of younger and older players already on the track at what I presume is an unofficial session? 

Would love Sestan to take his fitness to another level this off season as he clearly has the skills to make it

Just as it is no coincidence that 3 of the last 4 premiers have failed to reach the finals yet following year. The AFL is extending the season to absurd lengths and of course the grand finalists start their preseason late, so it is inevitably unsatisfactory.

Sestan with shirt off has that contoured muscle shape, working hard on endurance and speed.

Viney and T Mac as always setting the example

They both deserve a break with their weary bodies 

Unbelievable dedication

What was Olivers intensity of training like. I know he finished his season off with a variety of injuries including a PCL...was he running ok?

How does training like reported here fit in with the mandatory break of 7 weeks (or whatever it is)?

Is this like the Monty Python Argument Clinic where John Cleese's character claims he was just arguing in his spare time?

Surely, it's recreational from which they will learn more about the game than if Goodwin was there ... ?

He’s going to shock the world in the GF sprint (finish midfield, Darcy Wilson should win it easily from Waddle)

Oliver was half a step behind the trainer, some gasping for air, working hard. Appeared a touch underdone, like he hadn't had a run for awhile.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
