Just got back from watching the Dees complete a light training session at the Gabba. It was only about 30 min but after that they signed autographs and had photos with the supporters. All Dees players were great and happy to chat and sign autographs. A special mention to Beamer, Sylvia and Frawley for there time.

A question was asked to Connolly of how Scullys injury was and the answer was (as we thought) they are taking it extra extra carefully with him. What I found interesting and didnt know was that he has a mentor. The mentor is none other than Gary Lyon. When I heard this I asked Connolly does Watts have a mentor and he said no the coaches deal with him.

Maybe it would be good for Watts to have a mentor say the "Ox" just to help him and get him more in the game and be more aggressive. Could be good for his development along with the coaches being in his ear.

All up this avo was great and congrats to the MFC. Hopefully to top it off we will all be happy this time tomorrow.

The Ox would be a great mentor for Watts.

Heard him talk once about playing centre half forward. where to run etc. knows his stuff.

Knew how to mark in a pack, and was a talented skinny kid who developed into a champ!

Neita would also make a great choice IMO.

Ox yes. Neitz no. Agree both were agressive players but Watts needs to be taught where to run and position. Ox was very smart in this regard whereas Neita was more a see ball/get ball player.

Scully having Lyon as a mentor is a worry.

Now you know that you need to expand if you're prepared to make comments like that.

You're disparaging both in one sentence. Scully may have a mentor, but I reckon he's also got a terrific head on young shoulders. He'll do what's best for himself and the club.

That said, I'm not certain what you mean.

Have you had a decent chat to Garry about footy and life?

He's not perfect but he talks a good game and he was a great footy player.

Yeah, I also would like to explain where you're going with that.

i see that completely opposite to you. i would have thought it be a bonus to keeping Skully, as Lyon still bleeds red and blue, just does not show it as much as other media personalities

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
