Training - Monday 29th October, 2012

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

The boys are back on the track officially as from tomorrow -Dees itching to start training

I think a few of the older heads have more time under the collective bargaining agreement but we don't have that many vets at the club so there should be a good turn out of players on hand.

I suppose it would be handy to know where and when so that our regular track watchers who might have some time on their hands could have a look and provide us with their opinions as to who is going to be the club's next best thing.

With the advent of the delisted free agent, we're also likely to see a return to bygone days for a short period between 1 November and 13 November. Clubs which secure such players will be able to have them at training almost as soon as they're signed up so if you're at training, keep a watch out for any new faces.

Anyone know whats wrong with fitzy??

Aside from Diabetes and CFS? He was sent in for some clean-up surgery after last season, before Casey played finals. This rather upset the Casey coach given he was their most productive forward.

[FC Melbourne 108]

Encouraging that most of the group will be ready to train, as opposed to rehabbing from the get go.

Looking forward to what Misson can do with the group leading up until Round 1.

2013 starts tomorrow whilst the cricket hasn't even begun yet!!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Can't wait to see if Gysberts, Morton and Cook have put on some muscle in their time off.

I dont think many here will care as none of the aforementioned are MFC players.

[monoccular 17,575]

Does anyone know just what time they start tomorrow?

Is it Swan Street?

Any info re parking in the area?

Many thanks.

I think a tongue was firmly planted in a cheek with that comment....

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Mahoney said much of the first week would focus on testing and assessing players.

“Officially, we start training on Monday. But it’s also an introduction into meetings and skills,” he told melbournefc.com.au.

As far as when training starts and whether we have access, things look pretty vague.

I'm waiting for next week at the earliest.

are you aware of ironic humour?

lol

How'd you miss that one?

[Spirit of the Demon 256]

The assessment of the players is something which the FD is not going to take lightly. I understand that this time last year there were some surprises about the results which showed up the players who hadn't placed a great amount of emphasis on their basic training programmes during the end of season break. MN has said recently that he doesn't expect any surprises this time which suggests that the club has weeded out those who aren't particularly fond of hard work.

Is dawes back yet?

[Demon Jack 6,930]

Is dawes back yet?

Think he's still overseas. Should be back in a couple weeks along with Byrnes who is also still on holiday and Jamar who is currently on his honeymoon.

[dazzledavey36 55,361]

i wonder if dom barry and jack viney will start training today? if so you would think it would be a massive advantage to the other new draftees that will come in late november as they will have the extra 3 weeks

Both boys would be knee deep in Year 12 exams would they not? Be surprised to see them before later november.

Three less projects to worry about...

And monoccular - WTF, man?

It was his ankle, was on crutches at the B&F but said he would be ready for pre season anyway, it was just a clean up, apart from everything else that was thrown at him, he had been playing with the ankle since arriving at the club........he hopes everything is behind him now and he can finally just play footy...on the diabetes front...he has a program mapped out

He looks a very strong individual.

He has a big year coming up in his footy career...

Good luck to him.

I think he had an ankle cleanout.

Fitzy was at AAMI last week doing a running program, so he's up and about.

Also saw quite a turn out last Friday - Jetta, Trenners, Watts, Howe, Dunn, TMac, Nicholson, Gawny etc

[Sideshow Bob 2,421]

I feel sorry for Joel Macdonald

Looks he will be the one who will cop the brunt of the disgruntled 'supporters' now that the aforementioned Cook, Morton and Gysberts aren't here. Hopefully Barty comes good to take some heat, although if Rodan, Peterson and Byrnes aren't in line for the Brownlow they may also cop the rough end of the stick around here......

Edit: apparently I can't spell 'Stick'
