MFC Training at Casey Fields (Friday)

[Fork 'em 6,990]

Our list's development concerns me a bit, are we a chance to win a premiership?

Not if Scully gets OP .

Can you read?

He has already had it and learnt to deal with it from the age of 16.

Not an issue as long as he continues to monitor it.

Your concerns are: List?, lack of specialist coaches? Where? I am very interested to get your feedback -as I believe we have got the stronest list possible.I think we have now the best development coaching list we have ever had. I look forward to your response.

Anyone got that facepalm image handy..?

You're killing me JCB . You're killing me...

C'mon man!

Maldon: they play in Essendon jumpers don't they, Maldonboy?

[Whispering_Jack 30,631]

It's also a long way from Maldon to Casey Fields.

Maldon's a beautiful part of the world. Many years ago, a friend built a mud brick house with his own hands including a great outdoor sauna.

Quite a contrast to the outer suburban environment of Cranbourne East (no offense to KC from Casey).

I love that saying... who's hands would he have used if not his own?

[maximum bob 462]

I love your grasp of basic English...it's "whose" not "who's".

[Summer Blease 0]

Touche. Should have paid more attention in English class. Oh well.

[Whispering_Jack 30,631]

Hired hands.

He did it all himself. Laid bricks, did the carpentry, some concreting, glazing and plumbing. I suppose he used a sparky but it was mostly his own hands.

I couldn't have done it, I assure you.

Classic!

Scully is amazing and trains as if he is in a match. Sharp, very focussed and his kicking was on song which is good news after a high number of foot-blunders in matches last year. He comes across like the sort of bloke who is addicted to footy - you know, when he isn't training or playing, he is reading about it, learning in some way, or just tossing a footy around in his hands. REALLY impressive and stands out on the training track.

He loves it so much he stayed away from alcohol in order to play as good as he could, to me that is pretty epic and quite rare in your average Aussie teenage bloke. Think about when he is in his prime, say 25-27, he will be the bloke at the club that just sets the bar really high for everyone to jump over, and on gameday he will throttle sides especially as the game goes on everyone else tires. Really excited about this kid.

Aaron Davey's leadership was great to see. After each drill, whoever was in his group got a pat on the back or bum and a word of encouragement. It was intentional, deliberate and effective. I haven't seen him in this light before and he comes across as a strong and effective leader.

that's because he's trolling for the captaincy!

Thanks for the update. Welcome and I really hope you can get out there more!

Any update on McKenzie or Garland would be appreciate. 2 best 22 guys who seem to go under the radar with training reports. Hopefully that means they are just going about there business well and are readying themselves for strong seasons.

I'd love a report on the new rookies as well but understand if its hard to spot them because I wouldn't be able to.

Maldon: they play in Essendon jumpers don't they, Maldonboy?

Maldon played in Essendung colours yes, but not the same jumper. Please!!! We never called ourselves the Bombers, we were always the Dons. Later in life I had the opportunity to play in the Bendigo Football League and would you believe I could not play for Castlemaine because they had Colliwobbler colours so I went to Kyneton and put up with a Richmond strip. Old habits die hard.

I should have put in some info about Col Garland. In one of the drills they were kicking to a marking contest with the forward trying to mark and the defender trying not only to spoil, but to tap to it a ground player. Col's position was 10/10 each time I was watching. He sometimes makes me feel a bit like Watts does. It doesn't feel like he is really attacking the contest but he rarely gets beaten and his skills under pressure are effective. As much as I hate Carltank, Peter Dean comes to mind as someone similar.

Cheers. Also going from an earlier photo he looks a bit stronger this year which is good. Certainly no Frawley, but not a kid anymore in terms of build.

subbies.

[e25 5]

Fairly obvious, I thought...

At the same time, I know where Tobias was heading.

So many things today are advertised as "hand-made" - as opposed to what exactly?

They have robots pumping some of this stuff out?

Specially trained monkeys?

subbies.

Yes, it was merely a quip on the idea of taking the statement literally; to use someone else's hands.. I mean you can only "use" your own hands, if you hire help- they use their own hands- unless you cut them off and and proceed to work like some kind of DIY Norman Bates.

Joke fail.

Yes, it's like hearing voices in your head.

As opposed to where exactly - hearing voices in your legs?

That's proper mental.

I'm Jimmy Carr, thank you.

I was about to repeat one of his jokes, but only a quarter of them are fit for this type of... forum.

I used to know someone who was a hand model - maybe it was their's?
