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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
