The other thing from today which I thought was quite bizarre, I saw Saty on the sidelines on other side of the field taking photos then he walked off and hid behind a tree ...

Don't know and don't want to know what was going on there.

He saw Nev Jetta hit a bullet like pass and went behind a tree. You can make your own assumptions from there...

Was it a bright sunny day? Probably finding some shade so he can check the images on the camera's screen.

All eyes possibly on Hogan , though id be content with a "good solid year" as opposed the heroic saviour scenario. Its actually Dawes im thinking might be due a really good season.

Great reporting btw..cheers

- I know this may offend, but on what I've seen to date with Hogan he is not our superstar this year. He is just a kid still learning. He will bring a contest and another option up forward but will not star, for this year at least.

Finally, some sanity.

On the Hogan topic, there was a priceless moment at the end of one of the drills where Hoges happened to have the ball on the 50. Watts and the few of the boys started to get into him saying the sirens gone and we're 5 points down....

He nailed it easily!

He trained fully today ?

I know he was inside Monday I was talking to Mahoney about it. Do you think they will risk him v Bulldogs?

He's named in the squad.

Don't encourage him Nut, he'll think he is funny, at least mine is in my trousers and not on my shoulders

Was sheltering from the wind actually, at my age you have to be careful about rheumatism and arthritis

Missing from today Howe and Kent (who I notice is not named, got nothing when I asked)

Jack Trengove was out waling laps, big smile for my photo for Twitter, said everything is still tracking fine

Got a big thumbs up from Jesse Hogan, did nearly the whole session, did not look troubled at all, laughed when I told him not to miss any sessions as it caused a pandemic of concern

The leadership group pulled all the players into a group during one of the ball movement drills, it was shithouse, coaches stood aside, words were said and after that it improved

Nathan Jones killed Angus Brayshaw in the goal kicking comp AGAIN, told him it was starting to verge on workplace bullyiing

Any questions feel free

Without meaning to tempt fate, I think that it's a miracle that we have so many participating in full training at this time of the year. At least that's one true indicator of where we are at and it gives cause for hope.

I also thought that McCartney's session was illuminating and positive. At one point, he was giving specific instructions to Tommy Mc after a play and, in spite of Tom not wanting to make eye contact, BM laboured the point until he got the acknowledgement he was after. Sometimes a player can think that he doesn't need coaching...he is wrong.

Really looking forward to the game this week. Hope everyone is aware that they can get a free AFL live pass to watch it on their phone or tablet....works well.

Any news on Vince Saty? I know he joined some training but just wonder if there is any other news.

No it's not, it's just the third year of Misson and Co, he promised

He did bits and pieces and then worked his arse off on far side of the paddock running with Shannon Byrnes, not far away I reckon

As for Howe, again not a medical or fitness expert, Howie said the issue was only identified with scans rather than him knowing he had damaged his hammy and something about it being inside, a sort of not normal hamstring injury, think this is leading to the ultra caution, if somebody would like to be a bit more enlightening feel free

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
