PRESEASON TRAINING 2025: Bright and Myrtleford
Don’t disrespect OUR PREMIERSHIP player even though he has hopped off to the Kangaroos.

Battle Hymn
Great work putting this together. Stirring lyrics and great memories. A bit of a tear thinking of that long haired ruckman, the guy with the 5 o'clock shadow, and the redhead, who brought us such joy but will never be seen in the RnB again.

Hassa Mann
As mentioned by others, Len was Hassa’s cousin. In the 1960 GF he was a ruck an changing back pocket as was the thing then - I remember a photo in The Sun that showed, had we had goal review then, Collingwood have scored 1.2.8 not 2.2.14 for the match as Len marked on the goal line but the goal was called. Don’t spoil a magic memory moment 😮🙄

Hassa Mann
Wasn’t it Hassa who slotted that “impossible goal” at Glenferrie Oval from deep in the forward pocket that got us into the 64 finals??

Worst Ever Draft Decision (& Best)
The point of these types of thread?? Presumably to perpetuate MFCSS when in remission after a solid JT draft

Welcome to Demonland: Riley Onley
like beelelzebub, I would like the 🤔 back. Isn't Cripps a mid?

2025 Draft Report Card
So true. Just possibly maybe one could judge this draft in 2 or 3 years, but all this now is just so infantile.

Music Recommendation thread for off-season Boredom
You beat me to it. I am never ever bored hearing the Grand Old Flag, more so at the final siren.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 21st November 2025
In fairness I suspect that Henderson was always going to be a fringe fill-in player. Always not expected to be top 24. That said depth is just so important as injuries are inevitable - Hendo is a mature bodied replacement.

Welcome to Demonland: Riley Onley
So, he can throw and get away with it, whinge to umpires with impunity and hit opponents and fool the tribunal? Welcome.

AFL Draft 2025: Pick 30 (formerly 37)
That would be a great trait to have on our list. But would the receivers know what to do???

Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
I remember seeing cousin Kysiah’s highlights when he was drafted and some, myself included, thought “just highlights” 🤗🤗

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 19th November 2025
Speaking as a one eyed optimist (who i admit is sometimes wrong) Culley to me is a young player who has fire and enthusiasm, some speed and aggression, who can “mark above his height” and kicks ok. I remain enthused

Bright’n would be far more accessible 🤗 No wonder the poster noted the similarity then.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 17th November 2025
How good is it to hear that some of our younger guys are actually getting guidance and coaching in areas of deficiency, or even just imperfections.

Tassie Devils Possible Extinction
Not that I would ever wish to be thought of as being pedantic, but can something become extinct if it hasn’t ever existed?

TRAINING: Wednesday 12th November 2025
Well if the end of year result with Brodie is the same as it was with BBB we will all be very excited.

Shamrock Spitfire Movie - Bluey Truscott
I saw the movie and was filled with awe when that redhead was introduced as Truscott. And I admit to shedding a tear or two thinking about his achievements on the footy field and in the air, and what an appalling waste of lives the horrors of war bring.

Bailey Laurie to half-back in 2026?
Other than questionable speed, disposal and size, what seriously are his main assets? I really do wish him well, in this his true crossroads season, but continue to be far from optimistic

PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 14th November 2025
Thanks to all track watchers Particularly interested in how Kolt, Luker and smaller Max are performing.

Jeff White on Dee’s F50 Connection in 2026
Fantasy guessing game naming players not even at the club. And presumably JVR will continue to have his development stifled by doing the back up ruck work. (It does give some posters to find an easy scapegoat). No room for a not-quite-so-big Max on a 5 man bench??

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 10th November 2025
If Culley has the skills and “footy IQ” of the recent #13 and the dedication and work ethic of a previous red-headed #13 he will be a star. Of course we see all too often that a change of number doesn’t necessarily equate with improved performances. So, Jai, good luck to you but success or failure or something in between is really up to nobody but YOU.
