Training Pre-season updates 2025.

[Mollythedolly]

No, unfortunately not

Rumour is Cumberland has been parked outside the AIA centre waiting for an invite. Club has wisely taken out a restraining order to keep him there.

Anyone here literally shaking in fear that Jen might sleep in and miss training?

Happy start of preseason day to all who celebrate.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Training starts tomorrow.
Got any requests?

It's looking like it's going to be a sunny day - Please report if any players are wearing a hat, ala Andrew Walker.

I want to be joyful but it's hard without Cumberland and tomlinson. I just feel a part of me is missing

What is the Andrew Walker hat joke? I've read it a few times but don't get it.

13 years ago the Herald Sun ran this story with this headline, on what was evidently the slowest news day in AFL history.

I had us pencilled in for the 2025 flag based mostly on the assumption that yes, while Houston is an incredible pick up, we would also be securing Cumberland and Tomlinson

But without those two?

Another year of mediocrity is inevitable

Alarming fact - To date, no team has ever won the 2025 AFL premiership without Cumberland and Tomlinson on their team.

Yep. Clearly your brain has departed.

 

[MegaBob]

Don't mind me, just waiting for photos to see if Collingwood have moved on from Nike.

I obviously missed the memo on cargo shorts being back in vogue.

He's on point there!

Although when I first joined BigFooty in 2001, the cargo short was in style and had superior utility for that era.

Back then I had a substantial set of keys (most of which I had no idea what they were for), a soft pack of Stuyvie blues, a lighter, a George Costanza sized wallet with cash and every card that I could force in, about $87 in coins from always breaking notes from buying rounds of Cougar and Cokes, a Zone-1 hour bus ticket and a small plastic bag, most likely containing some white Mitsubishis.

Now with the advent of technology including smart locks, tap and go, the shunning of smoking etc. I tend to need pockets for:

1. My phone (necessity);
2. My headphones case (luxury).

But despite my lack of a need for pockets (although admittedly the keeping a spare pare of pants in the pants was a smart move), I'm going to buy a pair this week just so that I'm in with the cool crowd for once.

Also, apologies to the mods for taking it off topic and I'm happy to cop an infraction.

Surely you also had a Nokia mobile which you used mainly to play Snake?
