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.

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
