PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026
Good news is that the Pink Lemonaide Cafe outside of Richmond station has re opened. Bowey having a short distance kick to kick with J Rivers then on the bike. Reece Conca was eating a banana. A couple of players were firmly reminded that they had 5 minutes to be out on the ground. (Some players are out there 40 mins early and others with a minute to go). No May or Viney. TC arrived late still in the brace, though on him it looks more like a horse collar. CJ and Tommy Matthews were having their photo taken when Reg walked past and squeezed CJs bottom. Max, Moose and Luker (no mask) were practising ruck work in the centre with Jamar holding the bag. Moose knocked Jamar to the ground. Fritta did a warm up on the fence, similar to what I did at pilates last week. I was sore for 3 days. Jeffo came off to get his foot strapped. When I was young a broken arm was a plaster cast with 50 signatures. Culley had a large 'bandaid' on his arm. Nearly everyone took part in the warm up drills. Luker, Petty, Culley, AMW and McAdam did not take part in the contested ball work. This group did some fitness work along the boundary. Chaplin very vocal. If Kossy doesnt win the medal it will be because Windsor stole some votes.

Train On Prospects
Nothing now, because his recruitment was an emergency backup for Gawn, and now we have Moose.

Training Ground?
Apparently the lease is not cheap and they rarely go down. Some of the staff have told me that parking is difficult. Caulfield, the parking should be much easier, and i assume on site.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 11th February 2026
An energy sapping day at training, even I was parched. Standing under a shady tree is hard work. Nearly all those present took part in the warm up drills. Kentfield had the mask on and was looking good, like phantom of the opera. There is an obvious concentration on quick ball movement and quicker decision making. I heard Kingy yelling this out. Kalani White I believe has glandular fever. TC still in a brace. Some players would drift over to the trainers/medical team, point to some part of the body, get some treatment, join back in or wander off to the sheds. Bowey moving well, the obvious limp is gone. Just watching Salem run the boundary tightens my hamstrings. Melky moving well, but at his stage of his career, in case of Brodie breakdown, break glass. AMW back to the sheds early, feeling ill. Lever very vocal. Taylor still learning where to run. Onley obviously has the body, kicking lets him down. Might surprise round 1.

Everyone under the one roof, easier to get a park, and saving $$$$ by only paying a peppercorn rent to the AFL

2026 Injury List
34 and been playing hard contact sport for 20 years. He should be as sore as hell. At the start of training he was running like an old man (So was gawn and May). Not now, looks much better running the line. To me, managed.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 4th February 2026
Yes he is actively involved and he has empowered his assistant coaches. The assistants do most of the instructiing of individual players. Certainly more hands on than his predecessor but then this is his first year. Certainly everyone is expected to turn up and look and act the part. Today he stood chatting with Viney during the warm up drills. A couple of weeks back he was first out with his son having a kick to kick. I have also seen him putting out the cones.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 4th February 2026
As I exited Richmond station and was walking towards Punt Rd a woman asked me what bus do you catch to the MCG? Was keen to answer 31 but..... One thing I have noticed about training this year is that the coaches are setup and in position well before the players hit the track. Very strong wind blowing across the ground. TMc first out with the Roo. Absent White, McAdam, Bowey and May. (Ghosty still on holidays) Henderson not wearing a rehab outfit and got a massive cheer from the squad as he ran past the group. Viney and Campbell in rehab tops; Viney watched on and Campbell walked. Everyone else in training gear. Vineys brother conducted a wrestling/grappling drill. They do look alike. CJ had some strange velcro bandage? on his leg for a very short time. CJ, Kentfield, Petty, AMW, Melky, Steele, Salem sometimes ran the boundary Rivers had some minor discussion with a trainer and did some extra drills. Ed did some weird stretching exercise in the goal square which turned out to be 'watering the sands...' Tom Matthews took part. Chappy yelling out positioning advice to XT during a sim. Fritta played like his opponent was Easton Wood. Kossie is so good sometimes I reckon he should not participate in some of the sims. Jeffo looking better and better at each training session. Playing with confidence. As the kids are back at school the track watchers have a veteran look about them.

Training Ground?
South Side - closer to my place. Probably an easier build North Side - better commercially as it is visible from Caulfield Station. Also there are existing tunnels

Training Ground?
I thought the MRC didnt want us on the North side as they want to move the GlassHouse pokies venue there.?
-
Training Ground?
Glad that you asked. I get the impression that the government would like everyone to be supportive when an announcement is made, and one of them isnt at the moment. I believe that is the MRC. More talks were scheduled for later this week, so it is still in progress.
