Well … that’s your history lesson about the preseason so far.

Of course, most of the above has already been covered in our own preseason training threads.

 Jolly well posited; it shows, despite the recurring argy-bargy from some contributors, the serious track watchers and amateur journalists have been doing a phabulous job for DL participants so far this pre-season. Thanks, guys for your efforts of which so many of us are eternally grateful.

Fritsch is not kicking in the short pass to lead activity. Salem is running with him and he hands it off

Lever, McAdam, Spargo & Lindsay in rehab

Interesting that Fritsch isn't in the rehab group. He didn't do the time trial the other day (neither did Max or Campbell) and isn't doing everything in the main sessions.

Wonder what the situation is here? @Ghostwriter any insight?

Not great seeing McAdam in rehab... from what I wonder

Feels like since 2021 Fritsch has been consistently unable to complete full pre seasons

Haven’t seen Boy George this morning

According to Richo Roy can’t train with us because the paperwork which was expected to be completed by today isn’t as yet.

Also we in fact DON’T have any list spots remaining. The only way Roy can play for us is if someone gets injured.

The ‘paperwork’ actually is signing up for Casey, necessary for him to train with us.

Richo said some clubs have two picks, some have one, some might wanna try to pick him up in the midyear draft. We are “very keen” to sign him.

A little late on this, but haven’t seen K White

Think he is training with the AFL academy

He’s training with the AFL Academy today & Friday. He’ll be back here at Gosch’s next Mond, Weds and Friday.

Yes I do know what’s going on with him but understandably I can’t discuss it unless one of the staff talks about it in which case I could quote them.

We do have 1 cat b list spot but as discussed Roy wouldn’t qualify as a category b rookie which makes sense.

 

I hope we don’t sign him simply because that’ll mean we stay long term injury free

Does he have anxiety around it?

a 2KM time trial is not always a the only indicator of running ability, particularly in this game where patterns (IQ) are as important as aerobic reach.

Great to see that you're back wc....oh....I mean Ghostwriter.

How's McAdam training?

Ricky Lever is on a stationary bike on the boundary absolutely barking at the top of his voice at the boys. He’s even scaring me 😅

Nicknames: Aidan is AJ, Xavier is X, Shane Mc is Shano. Someone was up all night thinking up those creative  masterpieces 😂

Clarrie’s body… his words: “nah I’m not in good shape, I’m a fat [censored]”

How's McAdam training?

He’s one on one with Keith, a physio. Running laps. Now he’s practicing set shots. 
 

Just spoke with Shane. He’s on the stationary bike now. He’s on an individual program which focuses on fitness. Purely and simply, fitness. Building his tank.

Clarrie done for the day.

It’s still three months to the season start. May just have a bug. Hang loose.

What injury is McAdam recovering from?

Oh I have a dozen lines to answer! However discretion is the better part of valour!

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
