Training Today 28/11

Featured Replies

Wrecker... Cheers.

Living so far away from Melbourne, posts like this are gold.

Maloney deserves his spot, he works so hard.

Jones, what can we say, here is our star.

Thanks mate.

Diabalo, get out there with that camera next week mate.

 

Thanks for the training updates. I would never have put Beamer right up there in the spatial awareness categories, as he always, always gets tackled trying to take on a second and third opponent when breaking out of a pack. Good for him though that he's finally able to have a flying pre-season.

As for Wheels, bit of a worry if he's in the rehab group again this pre-season as he was last year. At his age and with the style of football he plays, is his body starting to let him down? Lets hope not, or its a slippery slope to retirement.

I expect to see a photo in the paper the day after all our draftees join their first training session, the obligatory 'group shot', each holding a footy, smiling and quoted as saying 'its great to be training with some of my boyhood idols' and 'I didnt realise it would be so intense'...

 

well today is actually the day the new draftees start training! so i wonder if anyone went down and checked it out

A new generation is emerging, a full cycle is almost complete-

1. Knowing how to spell

2. Not knowing how to spell because the spellchecker corrects everything anyway.

3. Not knowing how to spell, and being on a forum/chat which doesn't have a spell checker.

4. wtf lol

5. Callaps of civilizashun as we konw it

This is what happened to the Romans, I swear.

'Visigoth' is actually spelt 'Visalageth'.

Fight Back! Hand write a letter to your grandmother. It's the only hope.

they should be like me. get fire fox. install the spell check add on. and you'll never have this problem again.

(unfortunately, it doesn't force capital letters like in word yet...)

Anyone?

just to put it out there, i was standing next to the tan today and the hawks all ran past (including who i think was cyril rioili) and they are looking pretty fit...

Is Cyril Rioli not doing the Kokoda Trail?

Or is that later in the week?

One thing on Beama - bumped into him in Barcelona during... late Sept i think, a few days before the whole nath carroll/ brock/ rivers saga and he said he's feeling better than he has for a few years.

Look for a great season from this guy.

actually 2 more things - he's one of the best blokes i've met, AFL but otherwise also. But not always the smartest - managed to have his camera, wallet and watch pinched whilst he had a nanna nap on the beach that night before we went out tot he club.

But a really good bloke nonetheless

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    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.

  • 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?
