I hope the focus this preseason is on explosive pace and high speed endurance and not bulking up.

I watched 10 minutes of the 2021 grand final yesterday and for reference, 10 minutes of the last round 2025 and couldn’t believe how top heavy we look now. Trac in particular looks more like the bulky size when he was drafted.

Key is getting to contests and getting out into space, more than busting through packs these days.

Dont entirely disagree, but I also think if you look at the top teams they were all well muscled as well as having pace. Only a few need explosive pace but endurance is now even more significant. A few bulls to break packs are important also and i think thats the skill of the coach in rotating players off the bench to initiate or respond to the tempo of the game

That's a very Melbourne thing to do, isn't it? Employ someone to write your posts for you.

Ghosty and the gang were "loading" at Gosch's yesterday (early I know) - should be primed for 11 November at around 11.11.

Young guys: November 11th

Seniors: December 1st

3 months off seems like a lot

Would have been good to get a good 6 week block of training in before christmas. The season starts earlier every year so only 2 months and a bit post xmas to get a preseason in

Not our call though, these dates will all be locked in under the CBA.

Last year they also started back on the 11th of November. In 2023 they started back on the 27th of November, in 2022 it was the 28th of November. It seems making finals determines the recommencement date 🤷‍♀️
