MELBOURNE

Break starts: December 18

Return: January 4

Youngsters Colin Garland (foot stress fracture) and Sam Blease (leg) are progressing, but the club is taking a cautious approach with Garland's injury. Blease has been running and involved in handball/kicking drills. Brad Green (wrist) and Matthew Warnock (ankle) are back into training after their injuries shortened their 2009 seasons. Austin Wonaeamirri was training strongly until a hamstring injury set him back last week. Second-year Demons Jamie Bennell and Neville Jetta are also looking good on the track, and Cale Morton and Jack Watts have added five and six kilograms respectively. Jack Grimes is training with the midfield and looks set to spend further time there in 2010.

Pity our own website (melbournefc ) cannot keep us up to date.

Good to hear.

Grimesy in the midfield now that we have a wider range of backman also great.

Its from the AFL website which is practically the same thing.

And its not like there is anything new in there worth knowing that we didn't already know.

I thought it was great to hear that Green & Warnock are in full training - I had not heard any thing mentioned about those two, heard that Jetta was training well but to also hear Bennell is going great guns( my word to it only) is great news. I think Bennell could develop into a great player whom may run through the centre after time.. I know John Turnball thinks he'll b a gun.

Furthermore, confirmation that both Watts & Morton are developing and increasing their bulk is also brilliant.

Thanks again for the updates John!

I'm really looking forward to seeing Morton and Watts next year.

I'm starting to get quite excited about our midfield also. Good to see Grimes training with them. Whether he becomes a backman or a midfielder in the future, training with the midfield will teach him a lot.

Exactly. Nothing new in there worth knowing that we didn't already know.

Your petty vendetta against the club's website is tiresome.

The club's website could do with a bit of improvement.

There aren't too many club's websites that are good quality websites. Compare them to other sporting team's websites and the amount of information that they provide and AFL websites just don't stack up.

thanks- it is great to keep us all notified to what is going on- even if it confirmation. I agree with Grimes- will turn out to be a beauty. We have a stack of quality young midfielders to develop .Great position for the club as some can play in other positions as well.I feel Grimes could make a star wingman. He has shown great attacking as well as defending skillls until he develops into a ruck rover. Great way of developing skills and stamina in a wingers role.

Agreed completely, but I wouldn't be shooting the messenger here. I don't know how happy the clubs themselves are with the current AFL/Bigpond tie-up, which leaves them with little room to move and little control over the content/configuration/operation of the sites. Certainly, I don't believe they do their own coding.

Adding Twitter to the armoury can only help, but even there, as links are often back the MFC site, there's a limit.

Get over yourself mate.

The whole point of having the MFC Website post the infomation is that it means the infomation will be correct, not just some 2-bit reporters opinion. Use your brains.

The website is as slack as it gets.

Doesnt make me love MFC any less, just pisses me off.

I agree completely.

The club's websites are ordinary, but it's mostly due to the AFL's obsession with control, and the fact that they've sold the website rights to bigpond and forced all the clubs to use the same template.

The Clubs that are locked into the deal might need to conform, but I think Essendon went it alone.

This is also my understanding, however, we can raise our own topics ourselves. Ryan Larkin & Martin Cox wrote many topics over the last two years.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
