GAMEDAY: Practice Match vs Richmond
One of the worst things to do with glandular fever is to rush back too soon. Not unusual to rush back then get a set back

2026 Injury List
But does that depend entirely upon Steven “doing the right thing by the club” and retiring?

PREGAME: Practice Match vs Richmond
But is it 10,000 capacity? I seem to remember reading that it was around half that due to upgrade works and the AFL either didn’t find out about it, or more likely, didn’t care.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Thursday 26th February 2026
The game is Australian Rules Football and is played by many The AFL has hijacked the generic name.

Your eyesight must be better than mine. Even after zooming I couldn’t see Mr picket fence hiding in the trees.

I would have Kentfield ahead of Jefferson on last week's form.

2026 MRO & Tribunal
The MRO still hasn't been given a brain for Christmas Michael - it was a dangerous tackle, with a player's head driven into the ground. If you can't see the you really need to stand down.

PREGAME: Practice Match vs Richmond
Agree 100%. Amazing planning AFL, allegedly trying to het fans interested. No other rural ovals available, if you don't look hard.

Jeffo Ready to Soar in 2026
I sincerely hope that Jeffo makes the grade, but like Sam W he doesn't seem to thrive for the contest, which is essential.

VOTES: Demonland Player of the Preseason
I can’t vote as I haven’t yet seen the full game, but seeing Steel the steal, and Moose among the better players makes me smile. I really hope that they can get a Max / Max combination going, the master and the apprentice, which they failed to achieve in the Brundy experiment. New coach, new plan and an older more mature Max11 And Jack in form could considerably go a long way to alleviating the likely loss of JV7 for a good part of the season. And how much schaudenfrude would we feel if both dominated in our round 1 match against their former club. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

POSTGAME: Practice Match vs North Melbourne
A prime very memorable example was his short chip to Angus in the GF, which Gus converted to put us ahead. The rest, as they say, is history.

POSTGAME: Practice Match vs North Melbourne
Maybe, but Windsor has more runs on the board and may have been distracted by his English namesakes’ shenanigans 🤔

Surely you mean only one Max, not two Probably better than your crankcase

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026
I wonder if Luker learning ruck work means that using JVR as second ruck (other than deep forward throw ins) will be a thing of the past. Hopefully 🤞 Let him become a top rank tall forward

2026 Supplemental Selection Period draft prospects
Well, if Steven isn’t realistically going to get himself right physically or mentally then I really hope he does the right thing and retires in time.

Most posters do not have Heath on the bench - does that mean they favour having JVR having to do ruck work as relief instead of concentrating on becoming the next big thing as a KPF?? Wouldn't it help prolong Big Max's career having regular proficient relief?

Then it is Melk v Mihocek as McAdam is extremely unlikely to play at ll I recall James Hird saying at one stage he did ballet at school - he certainly had balance and poise (as a player).

A New Dawn for the Dees Midfield
We have a lot to look forward to even though there may be some teething problems I hadn’t realised just how effective Rivers was in clearance data last year - very impressive.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 11th February 2026
No just no contact… avoid exertion. So many teenagers even not in elite sports won’t rest, start running (and alcohol) too soon and end up with “chronic fatigue”

I love this …. So much unlike what we have seen before. Blocking, repeat leads to reduce congestion. Movement 🤗🤗🤗🤗

I Hope the AFL Watched the Superbowl Halftime Show…
Fake, as you describe it, would appeal to US audiences though.

TRAINING: Monday 9th February 2026
Does anyone know if a LTI needs to be season ending to get supplementary players, or just to mid season? If the latter both Viney and McAdam would seem to fit in there.
