Training 2026 Pre-Season Training - reports, pics etc
Has been a liability the last two years after an exceptional 2023. I for one hope he's in the VFL start of the year. -

I'm told Kemp, Jagga & Newman will be ready to play in the community series game on Feb 25. Cottrell is the only player that's behind schedule. -

Two of the best contested midfielders in the competition. There is zero reason why they can't play for another 3 to 4 years. I don't get this narrative about it's time to siphon these guys out of the midfield to make room for the younger brigade. Crippa & George are at the top of their game... -

I'd say it's only Matt Cottrell that is the most concern. Whilst I don't think they would have expected his recovery would be this slow, sounds like he's on a deliberate 'steady, steady' build up. If he's not running by mid-January he's not playing any footy in March. Interesting that Newman is... -

These days I don't think that's as big of a deal as what some people suggest. Will be interesting how it plays out. Austin, Agresta & co have been very diligent in planning for multiple scenarios on draft night and will be comfortably prepared for a bid as a early as #1 on Walker if it's... -

Gonna be some athlete with a couple of summers in the gym - he's got that natural shape that allows for relatively quick muscle definition that guys like Ollie & Jagga don't have. Excited about him. Reminds me of a young Pendlebury in the way he plays. -

Actually not all that far from Camp Curnow. They're in LORNE this year. Expect to see some photography today. Open training session there on Friday. -

I'd say we'll be trying to use our TWO x 2027 First rounders to ensure we have maximum exposure in 2026. -

Analysis 2025 Draft watch
Na was ordinary (& he’s been poorly advised). The task was simply to name a kid that you think could go #1. It was a way of showing respect to your fellow draftees. To nominate himself simply to try and radiate some manufactured ‘self confidence’ was cringe and he’s come across as a massive... -

Lol. Who are these unwanted players you would trade out that have first round currency? -
Analysis 2025 Draft watch
He’ll certainly tell you that! No thanks. there’s a reason he hasn’t been drafted yet. -

Analysis 2025 Draft watch
Hope so. I took it as 'not ideal' given the trend is usually the best 'open market' player is taken at 1. With Cochrane on the open market he was more likely to be selected at #1 regardless of if Walker had surpassed him next year. Now they're both 'tied' it might be a case of just bidding on...
