Training - Thursday 8th May, 2014



Recommended Posts

@ Ascobar, Ethiopia? What are you doing over there?

@ Saty On topic - What is happening with rucks? In training who dominates out of Spencer/Jamar, Gawn (If he can compete) are we heading to a rotation system like baseball pitchers or will we stick to the best man each week? Or perhaps I could rephrase is Jamar really back long term, would be wonderful.

Thanks

Going to take the morning off again, here is something for you all, especially for the country and interstate posters, as you know I can talk to the players, if there is a question you would like answered, and I can get to the particular player, put it here, if rubbish appears I won't bother, I'll print them off in the morning

Novel idea, saty.

Gawn: any chance he'll be elevated purely to play forward?

Tapscott: what have the coaches told him he has to do to get a game? Just interested to know what he is working on.

Watts: what the hell happened with his back? How is it now?

Tom McDonald: any chance we'll see him up forward when Garland returns?

Strauss: are they trying to turn him into a forward? Or just round out his game?

Salem: sub again this week? Or will Roos let him have a full game?

Dunn: when is he bringing back the mo?

I would be interested to know from Tyson how Roos compares to Sheedy, given the stature of both as coaches. And I live in Ethiopia, so does that mean my questions get the highest priority ;)

Are you the Ascobar from Addis Ababa?

Il be the first to put my hand up and say I have been critical in Saty in alot ways but very respectful for the mountain of work he does going to training and providing valued inside info. Especially for someone like me that lives 3 hours into the country.

A job well done Saty. This place would be alot more dull without you.

Said before don't take anything personal unless it is a personal insult, pet hates - sweeping statements without factual backup, and unjustified bagging of indiviual players just for the sake of it

across all the online footy forums salty is the best poster

Saty - if you speak to Bernie Vince, can you please ask him for his sister's phone number? Either sister will be fine.

Here's a fact - they are both smoking hot.

Cheers.

I agree BB.

I dont think the Tribunal came up with the guilty judgement. It may have come down from the new CEO.

if it was a pre determined decision, it was obviously made because they thought it was the direction the public wanted the game to go, clearly they were wrong when 92% of people voted they thought he should get off, and the other 8% was Damien barrett with fake names.

Would love to know if any of the admin there have seen Dr Peter Larkan's latest tweet, that if Viney had indeed "pivoted" on his left foot at that speed, he'd likely have torn an ACL. PLEASE ask Mahoney if they're getting in a qualified medical professional to vouch for the stupidity of the AFL's argument.

Sat if you see Josh Mahoney can you ask him how much consideration they gave to the likelihood of an increased sentence for Jack in deciding to appeal.

He won't get off.

He may not.

Maintaining your subversive seed planting.

Good win wasn't it?

Unfortunately I don't believe it's what they think the public want.

I think it's all about limiting the potential for future lawsuits from players related to acquired brain injury.

I know the obvious answer is for players to sign some sort of waiver, but I think legally there would still remain a duty of care and it wouldn't work.

Better move quick - Aiden Riley has already snatched one up.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
