The latter in Melb I’m assuming, as Collingwood first named?

Why do we keep seeing “Fin Macrae dominated again” in training on fox footy articles?
Every year he dominates in training until we get into it come season time.
It never translates into anything meaningful in the first team

He kinda has to if he wants to crack in to the
. Will it translate to anything on field? Maybe not. I’d rather hear him burning the track than what we got from AJ a couple of years ago.

More info on Mitchell's injury. Mild, thankfully 
Lovely December call on him

HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
It's kinda disingenuous to use age at all in this scenario given the further context I provided.
In the end, Reef was drafter a year earlier than Nick. He's been "in the system" an entire season longer and was drafted in the same year as Beau who established himself in the starting lineup by the end of 2022.
Reef was also recruited as a midfielder so he can't even fall back on the "talls take time" get out of jail card because he's technically a midfielder and midfielders are generally ready quicker.
Mind you, this all comes from someone who has been basically staunchly in Reef's corner from the start. I reckon he's been hard done by when it comes to being given a chance to actually establish himself properly.

A shame as Mitchell looked like he was firing and had done a huge amount of work. The worry is this is a lingering issue which isn’t helped at all by a running sport.

To be fair to Fin he did actually dominate the intra club last year but in hindsight it was more of a warning of how far behind our midfield was heading into those early rounds of 2024

The players are mostly all at the Botanical at the moment. No idea what the occasion is
I know someone who is there for a Christmas party and they just told me a bunch of the players just got there

Are plates being chucked on the foot/feet not an option to help with the stress fractures?

He's not being viewed as a 25 year old. Kids drafted at 18 don't usually get to the age of 25 to become a senior regular. That's just the industry. He's lucky to have gotten a 5th year, not many do without being senior regulars. Not having been signed until after trade week suggests he was pretty close to losing his spot. But he's got some elite tools, so like Markov and Frampton he's been given more time to become AFL standard than most get. Hopefully he makes the most of it.

Im not a doctors arseh*le but i think with stress fractures especially in the feet all you can do it back off training loads and give them time to heal. I may be wrong

I got chastised for saying this last year, but I'm a glutton for punishment - an intraclub is far closer to VFL than AFL standard. Half the players in it are VFL players and most of the other half aren't going at close to their AFL intensity.

HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
Mitchell is literally the one player we didn’t need getting injured again
Definitely puts a dent in my Premiership prediction
If having almost the entire season off didn’t help then I don’t see him playing any kind of role next season
Hope Allan steps up

Not literal at all. Every bit of wood on the planet needs to be touched if you name the one player and the "I" word together. Same for the second guy - also not Titch, but he and the I word have had a glorious divorce, after a passionate affair in their early days.
I just don't happen to agree that reef has stunk it up in his limited game time
Cousin of Daicos
HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
I don’t think he has either
Quite the opposite in fact
However the coaching group don’t seem to think he’s done a whole heap either

Not really. There’s a matter of a few weeks difference between the two. The most that could be argued is that Reef has an extra year of AFL development under his sleeve but that probably offset by the development lost in his draft year, in addition to him being played as a tall which typically has a longer development curve. Beau was drafted as a mature ager too.
