I was riding my bike along the Yarra this morning and happened to notice the Dees training on Goschs Paddock. I stopped for a short while.

A few observations:

I have never, and I mean never, seen an MFC group train with such intensity. When I was there, they were basically doing circuits, but at full pace, and intense practice kicking accurate 50m passes to fast leading. This also included amongst the kicking and leading, individual players sprinting from one end of the field to another while the kicking and leading was going on around them. The intensity was hugely impressive;

- there were others running the boundary, but at full pace for a change. Honestly, they looked like Olympic athletes such was the intensity. These groups included McKenzie (a very impressive runner - something I hadn't seen from him before), Strauss (likewise), Jamar (impressive commitment), Tyson (a lot less tentative compared to last week), Garland (as impressive as ever).

Notable absentees were sadly Gawn and Bleese. Hopefully they will be back soon.

Always good to read a report from a closed training session.

Keep up the good work.

A closed training session on Gosch's paddock? How does that work? To answer my own question with a question, was it an "unpublicised" training session, perhaps?

Slightly off topic but related. Daniel Breese's brother Ryan is currently making a name for himself in the Melbourne Boxing circuit where Daniel can be seen in his corner during fight.

His cousin Drew might have potential for that quarterback role off a HBF
