All is looking good for players 1 to 6.

Here is my abridged version.

1: The Hulk hasn't been forced into anything to strenuous so far and the club knows to be patient with his development.

2: Jonesy is continuing to set the standard with his leadership and performance after early foot soreness.

4: Wattsy has had a solid summer so far except for missing a week of training because of sickness and also feeling some leg tightness while in Darwin

5: My soon to be "bro"mance partner Jimmy Toumpas has been eased into the program and showing glimpses of brilliance when he has the ball in his hands.

6: Dawesy has had a few injury concerns early but is set to resume training when everyone returns. He has slotted in fantastically with his leadership and looks to form a formidable forward line partnership with Mitch Clark.

Pre-season update: Hogan to Dawes

It's a really exciting group of talent 1-6 and massively important in our future.

Great to see the MFC posting on the first day of the year (and a public holiday). Let us hope that the updates on the team continue right through the off-season. I am starting to get impatient already for 2014 to see Hogan lining up in our forward line with Clark, Dawes and Howe.

Give me a break Rog, I'm in the middle of my school holidays with nothing to do at the moment.

At least he bought our attention to the fact that the MFC is updating the website and still giving us news during the holiday period. It is too easy to forget that it was posted on the Club website on New Year's Day!

Does anybody know whether Hogan will be playing any of the NAB Cup/Challenge matches the way Jaeger O'Meara did last year with the Suns?
