According to the MFC site, there is a session scheduled for this morning.

Anyone get there?

I was planning to go but work intervened.

Perhaps next week when Vines will be in attendance!

Do you imbibe too much of the stuff that comes from Vines last night?

i can imagine that if we draft wines, there will be the occasional winey/vines slipup

I know what draft beers are but I've never heard of draft wines......

[rolly 149]

Just drove past and the boys were out and about, large group...any news

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

According to the MFC Twitter page they were being put through a watt bike session by Rachel Neylan (a World Championship Silver Medallist).

I think it's great how the Dees often seem to have quality athletes from other sports come in and show them a thing or two. It must make training more fun and dynamic for the players, as well as teaching them a thing or two that Misson & Co. may not have been able to do.

well buggar me....i should have researched it

I suppose cask wine could be seen as "on tap" too

[old dee 23,909]

Gee did not last long

Was wondering how long it would take for two things to happen

- who would pick up grape connection

- who would be the first to tell me we are not picking Wines.

One out of two is not bad.

[Swooper 266]

I stopped on my way past this morning, around mid-session. They were doing 1km repeat gut runs. Looked like hard work. Will come back with more later.

[demon-4-life 467]

I love how they are "repeat" 1km runs. As opposed to the simple 1 1km run that I struggle to do.

[satyricon 267]

I was there and took some photos, will post a bit more later, spoke to Jesse Hogan, cool kid, lookin fwd already to playing in the VFL, target weight for him to play at 104KG, so just a medium sized fwd then

They had solid nearly 3 hr session outside, spoke to Howie on the way back in and he said weights and wrestling this arvo

Had John Muggleton from the Rebels this morning doing tackling technique

And how do I put a photo on here?

Fantastic, so hopefully no more of this sticking the arm out in hope stuff and stupid head high free kicks.

[satyricon 267]

Another bit......had a go at Tommy Mc about how Nicho had his measure in the gut runs, shot straight back that he had beaten him in the last one.....which he did....just

Also watching Fitzpatrick and Sellar chasing the same ball coming towards you makes you wake up in a hurry on the sideline especially when you are tiny and frail..haha

[satyricon 267]

When Muggleton was doing the tackling drill, he would stop and berate if not done properly pointed out a couple ot times and named players......best way to go

I was impressed today by Sellar, Davis, Nicholson, Tommy Mc, Rodan

On light duties today were Sylvia, Grimes, Barry

McKenzie, Davey and Spencer came out at about 12 and started doing light run through

Spoke to Evans, he is back running on the Anti G treadmill this week, they let him out for fresh air, thinks the issue with his back is fixed

That sounds promising, would love to se him play again.

So would I considering we'll be promoting him to the senior list tomorrow night.

I would imagine he'll go straight on to the long term injury list and Magner will be promoted.

104kg's on an 18yo frame is significant. He must have the makings of a beast.

The build of a Lockett with the tank of a Reiwoldt ... no wonder he was hot property.

actualy there are places you can get wine on tap !!!

It is the attitude as well, although a lot of people are still naysaying and expect MFC to be a failure again, Neeld is picking kids like Jesse Hogan.....I said to him he would have some men looking for his head in the VFL......he looked straight at me and smiled....can't wait to see him play

And spoke to Neil Craig.......he said the supporters deserve success and when it happens it will happen a lot, they are trying to build something....what has happened previously is not good enough

One bit that did impress me was in the last of the gut runs,, the last group had guys who had already done the runs and should have been stuffed, running alongside them encouraging them to achieve a better time....and Nicho and Tommy Mc getting to every guy and congratulating them......I even applauded the finish between Nicho and Tommy Mc

[FireUp 67]

Whilst Grimes, Sylvia and Barry did not join in the long runs their session was far from light. They were doing timed sprints over and over and over. Exhausting just watching. The coach was calling out times to keep them sharp. Loving the attitude this year; staff have lifted expectations and the boys are responding well. I love hearing the encouragement to each other. All I want are best efforts and so far they are obliging. Go Demons

Is there another Reiwoldt that we don't know about? I know A Lockett (Anthony, aka Tony), but not sure who that A Reiwoldt is. If he's as good as either Jack or NIck, he'll be worth looking at.
