    Training 2026 Pre-Season Training - reports, pics etc

    Advanced is a stretch for what I just described... refresh my memory with respect to Newman? Historically I just said his ability to recover was suspect, and he had to work bloody hard on his read, injury issues and anaerobic endurance to fix that. He's not in my best 22, and he's fighting...

    I've watched more than that of him given the content creators getting down there with cameras. His kicking is also very basic, and will be pressured at the elite level, so we need all that mobility we've acquired to be in the selection mix to give him easier and quickly available targets.

    It was a weak draft in terms of the more physical forwards that could hack it at the next level being available as a matchup against him, maybe the closest being Schubert? It's far more of an issue for him than Weitering at the same age because of how he plants his feet. He's constantly looking...

    I wasn't expecting him to dominate, simply to do his role without much fuss, and that's now in a little more doubt. But the task is there in front of him, and we've been hearing about his professionalism and general attitude, so hopefully we see an upswing and he uses his burst and agility to...

    Women's Footy Welcome to Carlton Lily Baxter - Pick 24

    Interesting pick given she wasn't exactly on the phantom boards, but it's a circuit that probably looks deeper into Victorian and academy talent this year. Clean enough, quick enough, just wondering what she can do for us on the outside given that's where she'll be playing a lot of footy for...

    No, it's something I noticed and commented on through the year, it's something Newman commented on and had him working on with his positioning in that video analysis snippet, and now we're seeing it in action in training tape. Wrong foot the kid and you get an easy push off for a short to...

    Women's Footy Welcome to Carlton Tayla McMillan - Pick 34

    Size for her current role at the next level, maybe some question marks over top-end speed and outside game as well. If she's open to it, she'd be far more capable in an outside role than someone like Fisher was for the men's team. Good get at this pick, just cannot endlessly deploy her at...

    Lord replaces Cerra, being a lesser version of that play style. Maybe we're lucky and he's found a little more speed and strength this preseason, but I'm yet to see evidence of that. I think we'll wind up trading him out. Would love to see a spot in the forward line that allows for a midfield...

    Skills look so much better than they usually do this time of year, which is great to see. Lots of players seem more engaged in the training runs and that's helping their touch and body shape alongside that. Still not seeing enough from Motlop, Newman, and Boyd for them to be my first choice...

    Senior Welcome to Carlton Brooke Boileau

    Good get without further aging the list profile... nice work! Absolutely stacked midfield now, hopefully we can draft some good runners.

    Torpey could easily transition to defence, has plenty of athleticism.

    Has he been confirmed to have arrived at the club? Wouldn't shock me if that's not a thing until the new year given he's likely to be a VFL player.

    Senior Welcome to Carlton Lauren Bella

    Upgrade on Good it seems? Couple of dynamic rucks on the books.

    Every club is in the same boat when it comes to 2028 candidates, some will be luckier than others. I mean it's really an equalisation strategy overall, so we got more while Richmond got less.
