Whispering Jack and I will be heading down to Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you our observations of this mornings Preseason Training session.

Let us know if there is any player in particular you want us to report our observations on. Often we tend to focus on the new guys and unintentionally forget some of the others.

📆  Friday, December 5
⏰ 10am - 12pm
📍 Gosch's Paddock
🏃‍♂️ Session type: Pre-season training 

If anyone has any information on the dates and times of next week sessions it would be greatly appreciated.

    Tholstrup.

    Haven't heard much so far and really needs a big year next year.

    Hoping to see him take the next step as a half forward, midfielder.

    Sparrow and Laurie would be two who I’m interested to hear about

    I said in an earlier training thread that both have struggled for impact in the half fwd role at AFL level, but could have another level to go to if they’re afforded more midfield minutes in a new gameplan under King

    Any observations are much appreciated!

    Now that we’ve restocked with HB prospects, I hope that Windsor rejoins our midfield group in ‘26. Is this where he’s training?

    Yep same trio! Plus BLUNDERBUS HEATH THE BOHEMOTH!

    Windsor getting back to his first year impact would make a huge difference, he seems to be getting plenty of praise so far.

    Luker as well, if he could get a proper pre season in and leapfrog Jeffo and start putting heat on JVR, we’d be in great shape.

    Have not heard anything regarding AJ during this preseason. Is he alive?

    Reece Conca has had a haircut. It was thick and collar-length but now it’s quite short and it looks great.

    You’re welcome 😊

    Lingers please, my partner and daughter are interested in his haircut (preferably lack thereof) and I am interested if he remains evergreen and swift.

    Interested to see where the line up Sparrow and if King is going to waste Windsor on a HBF again next year like he was wasted this year. (if they do match sim sort of drills)

    TBH McAdam should only be mentioned when he finally (if ever) gets out of the rehab group.

    Otherwise we all know he lives in the rehab group, he has his own area in the medical room.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
