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

/MFCSS

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.

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

C'mon man!

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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
