You guys are funny!

Everyone deserves to let their hair down. They still work hard and mostly to capacity.

Sometimes it can actually help a bit. Lighten things up and get over the gloom.

and mostly to capacity.

This bit worries me....

Is it Mad Monday or Final drinks

been to many full moon parties. might dash over for the next one. party it up with the boys

Do they deserve a mad monday?

I think a strong move by the captains should hit it on the head this year.

They will be having time off!

if i was a player i'd be keeping it low key and certainly a long way away from the public

It's Trengoves 21st birthday tonight. Hit it on the head? If anything it'll be starting a day early.

That might just be the case after this week DC. Don't they have their individual season reviews and medicals all this week? I'd imagine a few home truths will be bouncing off the walls in "The coach's office" this week. Would love Robbo to leave his camera rolling so we can have a listen to what is said!

I'm on the fence with this Mad Monday stuff. When I played footy, we always treated it as a celebration for either making the finals, or winning the flag (not that I did the latter). I think there was one year where we didn't make finals, so we just had a bbq and a few beers on the Sunday at the club. While it's a long year and you train hard for a long time, there's nothing to celebrate when you don't make finals.

The thing for me is that they are employees of our club. If their boss (Neeld), is happy for them to be tearing it up in Thailand, then we have to go along with it. I think the AFLPA have a rule in place that preseason isn't to start before a certain date, but I'd imagine Neeld and Misson will be putting in high expectations of the level of fitness that the players will be required to return to the Club at from day 1. I would also imagine that reaching these levels will be hard if you go on multi-day benders at the Full Moon parties, etc.

Will be interesting to see how Trengove goes, considering he's one that is going to Thailand I believe. Not sure how many other AFL captains do that? Can't see Grimes doing it.

Mad Monday?

We've had a mad season. Furious, in fact.

Neeld is holding player meetings at 8.30am today and tomorrow to which every player is required to be at and sober. I guess that's his way of making sure Mad Monday is tempered this year.

Great call Mark in my books.

Oh let them have a day out.

If it is next monday so be it.

7 - 8 will be having their fair well drink and another 5 - 6 will be having their second last end of season MFC party.

They are only fellow humans must have been very trying playing for the Dees this year as it was very trying to watch.

I am of a similar opinion, give the a day or a week, but when they return from their break they should be in the same condition they left in, and ready for a grueling pre-seaon if you do that then do what you want on Monday ect

Have we seen any issues in the last couple of years with the players playing up on a Mad Monday, no, hands up posters who never played up in their twenties, the game has changed, the players know that, if you want a career.... you have to behave

As for Trengove going to Thailand, jeezus, last year we had Club Captains in Bali, Vegas etc etc...... it is a holiday, and Jack Trengove hardly drinks anyway...he is from a family of athletes

you forgot Sylvia!!!

He's shortly heading off to Mexico and LA, give him time.

I'm preparing for the worst possible news to come our way... Clark and Jones locked up... In a Bangcock prison, looking at life, for killing Tom McDonald and Jeremy Howe. Moloney knuckles down, signs 3 year deal.

If that happens then I'll dead-set spew up!! I can't handle watching Moloney play in a Melbourne jumper again...

boom boom tish

You've been a wonderful crowd

lol

Top effort everyones snide comments. Some pretty ordinary human beings lurking around the area.

I can see a few broken legs, some spiked drinks and a few drunken brawls headlining the off-season.

oh dear, here comes another off season headline involving Col and too much alcohol

I think I'm OK with it, But After the assessments are finished & players know where they stand with their report & what they need to do to achieve.

This can have a bearing on their mindset, going toward the pre season.
