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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
