    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 !!!

    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"

  • Quote

    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.

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

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
