Monday kicked off the first-official day of pre-season training with the entire squad back on the track.

All the draftees were at the NEC Hangar prepped and ready for the 2km time trial. (Jayden Davey absent due to health and safety protocols)

The session began with the 2km time trial. Mason Redman took out this year's race, followed by Jake Kelly, and Will Snelling.

Tuesday meant craft training, before hitting the gym, as the boys look to stay maintained coming into the Christmas break.

Fans also got the chance to get to know young forward, Tex Wanganeen.

While on Wednesday the whole club participated in a Welcome to Country, a powerful way to start off the pre-season.

We caught up with Will Setterfield, chatting about his move to the Bombers and his ambitions for 2023.

The boys had a full training session on Friday, hitting the gym in the afternoon.

Jayden Davey was on the track for the first time on Friday, already slotting right in. 

Incase you missed it, the fixture is slowly being released, announcing that the Bombers will play the Hawks Round One at the MCG.

Gather Round was also announced, locking in the Demons at Adelaide oval for Round Five, with more fixture announcements to follow next week.

The team spent Saturday morning in the park doing a strength and conditioning circuit, as well as boxing and running.
