And another bit, just waiting for a meeting to start....how exciting........they had a burst of practicing taking quick kick outs after a behind, both attacking and defending.....so assume they are trying to make the bomb towards the wing the last resort

Also the drill for the other half of the squad whilst the above was happening was tap outs and getting the ball and a buffeting and it wasn't just the midfielders so assume it was grabbing the ball in general play as well.......there seems to be a lot of emphasis on body to body

Just a note on Jones, Tapscott and Byrnes, made point of watching them, they moved to the old oval, they were doing repeat sprints, agility work, one drill involved one of them running from one point to another and marking a kick from the other two .......none of the three seemed to be restricted at all.....so not even sure why they were separate

DD, can you please tell me what they are saying? I feel like a person who sells love for money when I look at other teams forums.

What are they saying on gysberts?

That he has no tank?

From the photos on the MFC website Tapscott looks more refined and less if a man-child.

It must be the pipe and bottle of Grange.

His change in shape is quite noticeable, I think he could be a bolter this season.

With an increase in stamina/endurance, and, a clean bill of health, watch out.

I salivate at the prospect of Tapscott, Viney and Wines (touch wood....literally) either coming off the square or starting in the guts.

The gist of the Gys:

"the Dees got him for pick 11 courtesy of Brock to carlton. Great deal and now we got him for pick xx ...what a steal....once he fills out he'll match arm size with that of Daw...I can't wait...couple of pre-seasons is all it will take...grimaces as if he's putting in every time...like Judd-like and all that jazz...."

Can someone please explain what a 'run around the Tan involves' for this interstate Demon.

The tan is a running track around the Botanical Gardens. Running track for public and whoever else chooses to use it.

Very popular running spot.

Has quite an incline on one side.Not sure how long McQueen But it is used by The Dees, Pies, and Richmond on a regular basis.

Hope that helps.

I run the Tan quite regularly (when not injured as I am currently).

The tan is 3.8kms and has a steep incline of about 800m up Andersons St, it also has a lot of little inclines and declines around the track that really test the muscles. The only enjoyable part about it is that there's a slight decent for about 800m of the last 1km which means you can really get up a good speed to sprint across the line.

There is something to enjoy about running around the Tan?

yeah, finishing running the tan.

Of course there are also those.

On another note, for those wondering how Gysberts is looking you'll be very unsurprised.

Nth have got photo's of their training on their club site. Bottom one on the page is Gysberts looking very familiar:

Were they drunk or was it that muppet on BF 'daw of preejectulation' or whatever his name is. I go on there every so often to see whats occurring, it takes me two minutes before I have had a gutful of the place.

Looked alot more like Trengove than teh Hulk which is a good thing, he just couldnt move in that big frame imo

Any reports on Barry? Don't think i've seen him mentioned yet.
