PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 15th December 2025
Reginald is his middle name apparently. It was his nickname before joining the MFC.

Training Ground?
I would be surprised if the MFC got any government money. Rather the govt money will go to the CRCT/ Glen Eira to provide the sporting facilities etc within the interior of the racecourse. Even the tunnel could be funded this way as it is supposed to be public access. MFC will have to raise funds to build a new Admin block and indoor training facilities outside of the track, currntly proposed for the SE corner.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 15th December 2025
When i arrived at 9.30 the regular rehabers plus May and TMc were out doing their special drills. No sign of Viney, Henderson, Lindsay and Tom Mathews though they did turn up late. Langford and Langdon wearing concussion caps and must be very close to joining in regular drills. Max and J Rivers wearing bucket hats. I got to thinking Have i watched too much footy? as I could identify Scarlett by the way he walked. Chin was in good voice. And yes they do call XT Reg. (Only the third Xavier to play for the MFC). Running the line was not as intensive as previous sessions but Shane and Reece gave it a go. May came off to change from boots to runners. Some of the younger players seemed very competitive in the drills as they know spots are up for grabs. And yes, most of the drills seem to be fast movement of the ball by hand or foot. TMcs family and others were in attendance which is always nice to see.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 12th December 2025
Arrived at 9.30 to find nearly all the players out having a kick to kick with a partner. Melkys partner was his young son. The rehabers havent changed since last time. And i know this is impossible but Langford looks even taller. And Max G must be sick of the sight of the back of Disco head as thy run the boundary. Shane McA was running with Reece Conca but perhaps not at the same intensity as Wednesday. Tom Matthews had a bandage on his left leg and was jogging the line. Also did some time on the bike. And the baggy training shorts seems like a tent at times. TC did some time running the line. I dont think that is his favourite drill... Hendo and Vines on the bikes. The match sims were good fun. Trelly move very well but tried to take on Fritta and Culley. Trelly off to catch his breath.. Culley and Windsor looking good. And if you are a young add on from Casey and Windsor is chasing you dont run in a straight line. Salems tackles always keeps his opponents on the ground for an extra couple of seconds. Onleys disposal may be an issue. Kalani did some competitive work with Jamar, with Conca kicking the ball in . Bump now, ...and again ...and again. And just between you and me, I think we are going to handball more next season. (Just kick the thing I can hear us yelling now). At any one time there are about 30+ 'track watchers' looking on.

I think he = Hendo?. Anyway henderson spent all his time on the bike and looked as skinny as. And apparently his current injury was caused by over doing it in the gym. Some can't win.

Assistant Coaches in 2026
Was quite relaxed coaching the ammos, which the players liked, as many of them had full time jobs.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 10th December 2025
When I arrived Langdon was on the ground by himself, drifting up and down the ground, kicking the ball to himself, and having shots on goal, whilst the staff set up. TMc next to arrive, then Max G, wearing a bucket hat. Last out were Viney and Hendo who spent most of their time on the bikes. Viney was man on the mark for Trelly and was yelling 'Its your first game, and your having a shot.... Ghosty was in fine form Berry looks a footballer but his lack of AFL fitness does show. If the game is in the balance and Max H is kicking for goal look the other way. Disco and Max G running the boundary, with disco looking over his shoulder as if to say Where are you? The gap widened. Btw those running the (boundary) line have right of way so players coming off for a drink have to make way. First time I have seen Trelly and he moves very well in traffic. Was impressed. XT obviously has 'it' and is very energetic. May is a good kick for goal. Lever was yelling encouragement to Tom Matthews as he rehabed. Tom spent most of his time running, under the watchful eye of a trainer. Knee still an issue. Onley led from the front in his groups running. Langford looks colosal. Ran the line then kick to kick with trainer/Jones from 10, 20 then 30m etc. Did a drill where he ran in a straight line, turned left then about turn to the right. Repeat. As I left 4 galahs were watching on from the top of the netting behind the goals.

Reece ran with Shane all through training; never looked tired, until they stopped...

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 3rd December 2025
I use our goals from the GF as a sleeping aid. And if I get it wrong I have to do it again. 😁

Training Ground?
Glen Eira has the least green space as it has no coast or waterways within its boundaries. Govt funding will be given to the CRCT or Glen Eira to redevelop and maintain the community facilities in the middle. The MFC will have to raise money for the Admin and Training building. The last hold up I heard was the tunnel as it requires the MRC to cease racing for a period

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 10th November 2025
Jeffo was there. Weather cool, overcast. When i arrived only TC, Ghosty and some trainers were there. Ghosty gave the players her traditional welcome. I reckon TMc would turn out to train in a blizzard. Rehabers were CJ, AMW and Brodie M, though CJ and AMW did some ot the other team drills as well. Brodie is old/mature enough to exchange some pleasantries with the track watchers. Lever was moving freely. As mentionned they trained with big elastic bands, one pulling the other. I tried that once, didnt end well. Go Dees.

Preseason 2025/2026
As a slightly obsessed Dees supporter, I feel as if i should be doing something, but at this time of year there isnt much to do. Watch the 2021 game I reckon. Still the rumour is that Official training starts Monday. Great to see fit younger people running around. Though the weather is [censored]

Farewell Clayton Oliver
Love Clarry but the right call has been made. Hope he has a great season. Just remember he didnt want to go, unlike the other fella.

Aidan Schubert
I reckon he would be good at scoring

Possibly Mr Smith. DanisStan may have some knowledge through his choice of employment. His current position may have taken him to Sydney but his CV says Victorian. Maybe he is an early adopter of Jacintas work from home policy. Zoom meeting anyone? Does he support the Dees? Now that is a philisopical question. Does the Archbishop of Cantrbury have to believe in God? (No) Anyway Dan from Stan seems very qualified to sit on any board. Have any other candidates thrown their hat into the ring?
