This is the message i got from the club the other day

'Mon 31st boys are back in training and its going to be tough, Come along 9.30 AM Goschs Paddock & join before Mon for free team Calendar"

Got an email from a client yesterday they got flooded out on Friday night so I have to go there instead of training; bugger.

Hope there are some reports for those that can't attend.

Excellent thanks for that.

I'll be there and I'm pumped to see how Mitch Clark goes and if Sylvia is away from the main group, if he's there at all! Should be good to see what they do, I'd imagine mostly skills rather than running, put on some sort of a show for the fans. Also i got the text too and they said goodies, I wonder?


Tweet from the club:

"Pre-season training starts tomorrow. Boys will be on the track around 9:45am @ Gosch's Paddock. Plenty of hard work ahead."

Your reports are most welcome and we will also try to put up a training summary on our articles board incorporating some of the best passages from the training reports.

Also, don't expect our IR trio of Brad Green ©, James Frawley and Jack Trengove to feature at this week's training. Chippa just tweeted that he's arrived on the Gold Coast.

Don't expect Mitch Clark to do anything other than laps (if he's there at all). He had knee surgery in the break and will be with the rehab group for a few weeks.

 

My enthusiasm for the coming season is almost as strong as the disappointment of the last

I need to pay the bills so I wait with a dry mouth any reports, I thank you in advance those that get to training and report,

but I was keen for this stuff last year, how well did that go...

I can remember some Geelong supporter friends feeling simillar a few years ago,

Now wouldn't that be nice, Hang on and enjoy the ride, the Good and notso,

Go Dees Give 'em HELL !!!


Full Metal Jacket will be in my DVD player tonight. The journey starts tomorrow.

True Grit is in mine now.

While Full Metal Jacket is great. I hope that we don't go down that path.

Come round 1 I would much prefer the boys to be good at football rather than cleaning guns and marching while singing.

This is my football.

 

There are many others like it, but this one is mine.

My football is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me, my football is useless. Without my football, I am useless.

I must kick my football true.

 

I must kick straighter than my enemy who is trying to beat me.

I must defeat him before he defeats me. I will.

Before Stynes, I swear this creed: My football and myself are defenders of my Club.

We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my team.

So be it, until there is no Enemy, but Victory.

 

Go Dees.


Look forward to reading the training reports, and being unrealistically bullish for 2012.

<insert players name> looks huge! Must have packed on 5kg of muscle in the past 4 weeks!

Thought the same thing.

Expect reports that certain players are "training the house down"

I hope many, many MFC players are "training the house down!!".

I also hope "<insert players name>" is Cale Morton and he has put on 5kgs in the last month, he sure needs to!

Even if reports are a touch exaggerated, I am more than happy to have any positive training stories put up on this forum. Its been a big off season for the club, but all in all it comes down to the players doing the work and improving. My fingers are crossed that this pre season is the one that starts a big upswing for the club.

Any photos from anyone down there today would be super!


Great. We need more muscle in the middle.

All be it in 12 months time with regards to Jack..Again developing muscle is an ongoing thing..some seem to have developed a little more.

Great. We need more muscle in the middle.

Jones ? Maloney ? its not necessarily muscle - its players who can get the ball and extract it.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
