Training Pre-season updates 2024-2025.

Today was a day when it would have been great to be able to go into the Eatery, remember that? Unfortunately, the cafe no longer exists for supporters. As the AIA Centre gets bigger every year, the facilities for supporters shrink. There is no access to the cafe now, because the club has turned it into the players' cafe. This means there is no longer any access to toilets. The nearest conveniences are over beyond Margaret Court Arena in the Tennis Centre. I think this reflects very poorly on Collingwood.
So no Toilets for the Public

Make even worse to go watch a Game there

Excuse the pun, but this is piss poor, Collingwood.

Do you want fans to attend training, or not?
I mean, to be fair, they're happy to allow fans to visit training, but they're not exactly begging fans to go down there.

I think the bigger shocker is that it's a public park without any toilet facilities.
 
Decent frame on Charlie. Give it a couple preseasons and he could cause some defenders trouble.

Thanks for the detailed response

So, no longer toilets, no regular food / no drink provision / no under cover ANYWHERE (heat / rain)
It does more than reflect badly, it's shameful

Pre-season training: Week 4.

Everyone (more or less) is back.

While it was a light session so sometimes not everyone trains ourdoors.

Jordy ran laps early, but didn't partcipate with the main group
Cochran apparantely went to get scans. I didn't see him, and he didnt train
Frampton I saw leave before training started, with a trainer possibly to scans. I didn't see him return, and didn't train with the squad. We'll get a better idea tomorrow.

Bobby went and got early scans, saw him while I was at the cafe, but there was no issue; as he returned and completed training without issue. Probably just precautionary.

No Charlie Dean, Mihocek and Steene, Parker. I imagine all three were inside though.. as I did see them eating lunch before training inside the cafe.
Also noticed Murphy has now commenced the role at the club, as he was in the cafe chatting to Jetta.

The draftees:
Both did well for their first session. Hayes is clean and smooth with his disposal, and Hayes -- this boy is gonna be a unit. Worked on some marking and both were involved in the forward group.
There was a moment when Hayes came streaming out of half forward and kicked the ball to West. I imagine this will be something we'll see for a long time to come.


West has very good hands, and his kicking is good. The pace Hayes has is quite evident, I can see him running down the wing and kicking inside F50

The rest:

It was more of a skills session so there was line groups working through their individual line work.

Markov is now sporting a beard. But otherwise nobody out of the ordinary in the defence.
TJ
Reef
IQ
Moore
Houston
Ryan
Howe


Forwards:
West
Hayes
Beau
Bobby
Jamie
Schultz
Fin
Johnson
Cox
Mcstay
Membrey



Midfield
Pendles
Demattia (he did work at HB also)
Crisp
Cameron
Allan
Sidebottom
Perryman
Long
Smit
Mitchell
Nick
Josh

Mitchell did some extra running and ball work at the end of the sessions, he looks in good condition. Not any quicker, but fit nonetheless.

Looking forward to tomorrows session.

Titch has never been quick, but what he's good at, he's bloody good at, sort of like Pendles.
Lets hope his injury woes are behind him.
 
It’s Monday training in November. Be self sufficient for a few hours

Need to be like the Jackal. Bring three bottles of water and you can pee in the empties as you go.

Perfect.
