Apparently couldn't make the first training session due to the Qantas issues. He wasn't at training on Wednesday and as far as I no he wasn't part of the 3km time trial.

What's going on?

He was stuck in Alice. Virgin and Jetstar don't fly to Alice so there was no way he could get out - Tiger was probably already booked out. Probably still stuck due to the backlog.

5 days? Seems strange.

Flights were restarted on Monday, yeah? They've got a lot of people around the country to ferry. I'd suggest, firstly, that Alice wasn't a major priority, and secondly that Liam sounds like (from everything I've heard about his character and from Rudeboy) the type that wouldn't necessarily be hassled about a return immediately - although the club may want him back, he'd be more forgiving of others that required priority on flights to get home urgently etc. ahead of himself.

Forgiving of others that required priority! You telling me he can't get one seat on a plane in 5 days? What a load of crap!

Before panic sets in, I seriously doubt the rehab group would have been made to complete the 3.2km time trial.

I'd be surprised if Jurrah wasn't included in that group.

What is he 'rehabbing' from?

What is Colin Sylvia rehabbing from, or any number of other players that find themselves in that group?

I thought most people understood that the "rehab group" includes anyone whose fitness base requires easing into that sort of running.

Jurrah's fitness in this respect is poor. He can't handle huge loads from the get go.

A 3km run is a 'huge load'? Hmm.

Don't be disingenuous.

It's a 3km time trial, where the sole aim is to lush yourself as hard as possible over that distance.

Would you really expect anyone within the "rehab group" to participate?

And would you really expect Jurrah to not be in that group?

Relax guys.

He was at training yesterday, after being stuck in Alice Springs for 4 days due to the lunatic leprechaun who grounded Qantas. Neither Virgin or Tiger fly to Alice Springs so he had to wait to get a flight to Adelaide and then from there to Melbourne.

He's in good shape and raring to go.

Thanks Rudeboy. Hopefully that satisfies some of the Alarmists.

rhaz you do not understand. Unless we exercise CONSTANT VIGILANCE over all aspects of the everything that is the MFC it will surely fail.

I'm afraid you don't understand - our constant vigilance isn't stopping failure, it is allowing insight into when we inevitably fail.

Exactly. You can't stop the rain. All you can do is prepare for it by bringing a raincoat. If you're especially vigilant, you will know when it's going to rain, but that is all.

Argh! I was joking. I'm not sure if you are. Damn you, stupid internets!

Does it involve stopping to scull a pot every 200m or so? We could end up with quite a large rehab group at this rate.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
