Training Pre-season training updates 2026.

[PonsfordMagpie]

Can someone explain why Pies don’t have any list spots left with 8 players departing and 6 incoming, is this because Reef is off the inactive list?

Yes I think so. Another way to look at it is Steele and Howes were two additional arrivals from the mid-season draft.

It always gives me a chuckle reading supporters gushing over an AFL footballers body shape changing! Doubly so for a 20yo.

Wish my wife loved hearing how much weight I've put on over the offseason.

I have a professional approach to off-season. Full focused and well structured, just a couple of problems. The focus is on the wrong things and off-season lasts 12 months.

Did we know Steele signed a 2 year deal?

Footywire has him contracted. That means it was announced because they are so slow to update.

Didn't he re-sign same time as Will Hayes?

Yep around Oct 9 both extended 2 years.

Yes.

Hayes and Steele pen new deals

First-year player Will Hayes and mid-season recruit Roan Steele have both signed two-year deals.

Until our beloved Sidey retires - I’m getting awfully confused with our ‘Steeles’. Maybe call the more recent one Roan?

 

[Peters_Nuts]

Good signs for Roan securing the wing next season with that tank.

Especially as "Steele wins time trial" was a staple for a while.

Him and Allan prob vying for the one position

Allan is entering his 4th season. Needs a big first couple of months. Hopefully has a Richard’s type form improvement

I was gushing bile when I saw Shannon Cox's body shape Day 1 of pre-season 2009.

Not the first person to gush over Cox.

That makes more sense because it’s unexpected. The Smit stuff might as well have included a training the house down warning before posting!

The funniest pre-season content retrospectively was the Bombers fans bragging how big their players were getting under the Weapon in 2012.

And won’t be the last.

There was two boys I couldn't work out, in #36, looks like a smaller version of Harrison and in #38 in the black.
Turns out that was Perryman's brother, and Xavier Maher.

I just asked you that exact question on your story. The 2 talking to a trainer?

Possibly joining VFL, do you think?
