Thought I would start a thread early for tomorrow's training but please also feel free to report on yesterday's training which missed its own dedicated thread due to our server issues.

Anyone go?

Considering dropping in tomorrow for a quick look, but yesterday it rained all bloody day.

OK. The melbournefc.com.au site has this vision of the lads training yesterday in the wet conditions at Gosch's Paddock - Pre-season training footage.

Safe to assume nobody observing and taking notes would have been able to read them after that downpour - and that's assuming there were any bona fide spectators there at all.

Easing? Don't you mean they were flying?

Tearing up the track, feeling great, having the best preseason ever... take your pick.

Until the following year's pre-season when it becomes - "could never get a run at it, had an interrupted pre season and never really got going, had series of niggles that made it hard to get the base down, it made realize the importance of having an uninterrupted pre season, was always playing ctach up, a frustrating period etc etc" (see comments from any number of players, most recently Trenners presser

I've read the reports one question has Luke Tapscott ever been out of the rehab group prior to Christmas. Every year I read that Tappy is in the rehab group.

Yes it seems to never end for him. I wonder how much that has hampered his development.

He has to start getting more of the ball or he will be delisted.

Agree, hate to see him go because he has something but he isn't a small crumbing forward, he plays more as a small leading forward he hasn't been able to push into the midfield, which these days is a massive requirement for small forwards, if he can't do that the only option is to take him down back again.

Be interesting if he is mentioned in todays training reports

Was 'running' around the tan this morning and saw Frawley and Dunn doing some 20m sprints up Amderson St hill... At least I thought it was Dunn (didn't have the mo)

Moving very quickly between a few bus loads of tourists.

Gonna be interesting to see what becomes of Lynden Dunn under Roos

Doubt anyone here has him close to our best 22 but i reckon ROos has a few surprises up his sleeve for us all

I certainly have him in our best 22. Of course i can see his limitations but i reckon he is our most underrated player (if Demonland is a reliable gauge).

Of course he is in our best 22. When was the last time he was dropped? Has played 117 games since his debut in 2006.

The fact that he is in our best 22 explains why we have been so poor since 2006....

I'll say this:

For a bloke that it seemed a lot of people wanted traded, due to their paranoia he would bolt at the first opportunity, as he hasn't yet signed a contract extension... it's good to see James Frawley showing the commitment of attending preseason training well before he is required to, when others with the same requirements, but with far more that they need to prove, having not yet attended.

Gotta love the bloke, and I'd say anyone who claims his declarations of love for the club in recent times are a smokescreen, are clearly poor judges of character.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
