Howes (white) floated down from defense and kicked a goal.

Culley bursts out of the pack and snaps a beautiful goal.

Chandler gets a ground ball in the pack and breaks out and tries to take on McAdam and he tackles. Ump calls holding the ball.

Later Edit: It was Riley Bonner not McAdam.

Kozzy is a ferocious tackler.

Umpires are killing us.

Love to see Kozzy and Trelly linking up.

End of Third Period

BLUE: 7.8.50

WHITE: 7.2.44

Salo getting a lot of the footy across half back. Skills superb as always.

Grapplers on the other oval are done. Melky back to running laps.

Mihocek, CJ, Lindsay and Henderson all smashing the bikes in the shed.

McAdam playing on the wing against Chandler.

Had to jump on and say this #27 isn’t McAdam. I’m pretty sure it’s Riley Bonner. McAdam hasn’t been seen at the session

Match SIM over.

Are you sure. Looks a hell of a lot like McAdam. If Bonner then he has done some very nice things. 😜

99% sure! He was standing over near me earlier during the halfway drill - he’s moving too well to be McAdam off an achilles

Are there some invitees from Casey here? There are 3 players I don’t recognise.

Lamond, Jarrod Gatt and Toby Sinnema are the Casey boys here today.

10 vs 7 full ground drill. Max participating as are Langdon & Langford wearing the Fluro no-contact hats.

lol. Riley Bonner is here in 27 too.

I was positive that the 27 was McAdam. Trying to confirm whether there is another 27.

Steele not participating in the drill and is doing sprints on the boundary.

You might be right @Dees1313

To be fair I am wearing a pair of sunglasses that has lenses from 2 prescriptions ago.

Last training session of the year. Farewell 2025. Bring on 2026.

Well golly gosh darn it. And also [censored] [censored] [censored].

I arrive in Melbourne Friday morning and was kind of hoping.

Are you sure they can't throw in an extra session for me?

Boys changing into the runners now.

That’s it from me from preseason training in 2025.

Bring on 2026.

Huge thanks to everyone contributing to preseason training reports, the detail and effort doesn’t go unnoticed, fantastic work and great reading. Thanks to those taking the time to share.

Addendum:

As I was driving off the boys were running around the Tan

They’re in their Amazing Race teams so I expect we’ll be seeing part two once it’s filmed. Part one is on the website and it’s a great watch. Actually there’s been a little change to the teams. The rehabbers with foot or leg issues have formed a separate group and they’re walking around the Tan instead of running.

Once they’re all back at the marquee they’ll grab their stuff and begin their three weeks off. Three well-deserved weeks off.

Richo and Paul G on the other hand. They get Xmas day and New Year’s Day off. And that’s it.

Another glorious day at Goschs. Is TMc ever late for anthing.

Guerra and Richo watching on. Guerra always looks like he is enjoying his job.

Tom matthews had a bandage on his leg last friday but it hasnt been seen since. Always under the eye of a trainer and spends much time jogging, not sprinting, the line.

The rehabbers, Langford, langdon, gawn, melksham, disco look ready to go. Langford had the 'paint' across the bridge of the nose, a la Adam Ant.

The non runners were Viney, Miohcek, henderson and Lindsay. Brodie suffering from that military complaint of General Soreness. Would you believe that Viney and Lindsay carried over a 'ski' machine from AAMI. Unbelievable.

Windsor is an absolutely standout.

XT has some really smarts and reads the ball well. At times though he reminds me of the kid down the back of the class who couldnt sit still.

Had 2 senior umps for the match sim.

Onley is nearly as big as Jamar.

It doesnt help when players are in the wrong jumpers.

Campbell beating Heath in the grappling contestants.

Lever and Salem are masters of holding their oppoent in the tackle a second or 2 longer.

Maysie looked uncomfortable, some part of his body aint right. (like duh). Jogging, running the line.

I assume the players loaded up with the fluids as there was much 'watering of the eucalypt trees'.

CJ, can i say poetry in motion, beautiful running.
